I would ask a different question. Would you rather be a franchiser or a franchisee?

As usual, I think the complete opposite of most people. I’m sure I’ll be scolded again for this… I would promote the donation. “Donate $10 toward the memorial honoring the veterans who placed their lives on the line and get a free 14” pizza." Raise the price - it’s a donation, not a fire...

You don’t have a hook or a history within the communities. I can’t think of any magic bullet to make a place like that successful. I think that is far too many competitors for a new independent to compete against. You better have a product or concept that is so good that it changes the industry...

I understand that you have no choice but to function within the culture you live in, but I have to tell you how relieved I am to live and do business in a place with no tipping or checks, and no credit cards in the delivery business. I would never want to go back to that business environment, as...

I use square for my large size and round for my medium. I get to use the same box, since A x A is 27% larger than A diameter. I’ve not had any problems or special requirements to keep in mind with mine.

Thank you for your concern, gregster but I don’t need such a policy for my business. My business is in one of the safest countries in the world. You’re 600 times more likely to be robbed in North Dakota (the lowest robbery ratio in the US) than you would be where I am. I did have a driver get a...

Sounds like there is a market for armored pizza delivery tanks with .50 caliber machine guns, bulletproof shields and robotic arms to hand over the pizza and collect the millions of dollars you must be hauling around on a delivery. So, how’s business in these war-torn, 3rd-world countries that...

How would they explain my thousands of slim, untaxed pizza customers in Japan? Here is a chart that shows consumption of soft drinks (water, high fructose corn syrup and flavoring). Japan is on one end and the US is on the other. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions. Pizza? I don’t think so…...

Maybe the district manager will answer your questions right here. Do you think that someone in the business does not know about this site? That being said, there is a lot to be said for being forthright and honest as an interviewer and interviewee. Life and too short for dancing around the truth. 😉

I would have agreed to the price immediately, then delivered it at the price they offered, plus “undercoating and dealer prep” charges so the total price was $174.86 per pizza. Then offered to finance their pizza after a credit check, while screaming in their faces: “WE’RE SELLING BELOW...

I’ll echo the sentiment that getting into a place with no money makes it very attractive; however, having only “months” of operating capital makes it unlikely you’ll succeed. Maybe the answer is “it depends.” It depends on you or your partner having solid marketing experience because great...

I’m sorry, but the number one biggest mistake any website can have is a high contrast red/white on black background. I had to close your site after only 3 seconds and my eyes are still screwed up as I type this. Dreadful.

The oil coating reduces the heat loss, so it rises faster. Same idea with making bread or desserts using a dough; you can cover the bowl after kneading to reduce the time for the dough to rise.

That’s the problem with using cheap/poor quality boxes. We cut it, then slide it into a coated box.

Congratulations! Just keep learning and adapting to your own circumstance and market. Best of luck and don’t forget to have some laughs along the way.

Perception and reality are rarely the same, when it comes to unmeasured analysis. Sampling is a small slice, not a whole pizza.

I guess I’ll give away 50,000 free pizzas and rack up $1.5 million more in sales.

If you have a product you can believe in, you should not be afraid to sell it at the highest price you can can. That is a fundamental concept for any business. How many times have you seen Mercedes Benz, Louis Vuitton, Rolex, Lexus, Sony, Tiffany, Apple or any other global brand give away their...
