    Help with Italian Dressing Recipe?

    If you treat the recipe like a pizza recipe and convert it to oz. and then go by percents. Think bakers percent. Use the larger volume as the “flour” weight of 100%.

    Marble to existing coldtable?

    Marble may outweigh what most folks can move around and handle. I know that granite weighs about 100# per 12 in square. Marble may be too large to clean under.

    How can I get the best bake in this oven?

    Is it possible to build a shelf in it to hold 2 or 4 pizzas? My thought was to build a “rack” that would have a shelf with supports close enough to slide a pizza in and off with a metal peel. The “rack” would need to be stacked and be stick built out of re-bar and expanded metal. Since you can’t...

    Where do you get your wings from??

    Actually, it is the other way around. La Nova rents a room from Tyson, uses Tyson wings with La Nova’s specs. Then La Nova uses their patented sauces. They leave at the end of the day and Tyson comes in and cleans and sanitizes their own equipment and it starts over the next shift. Bubba

    Going from 6 to 7 days a week

    I once read somewhere that about 10% of sales are on a Monday. That was the reason the previous owner was closed. If you open up, you will probably do less than that % because no one knows you are open. You are having to start over with the marketing. I would suggest that if you do open, that...

    Cheese Questions

    Cheese usage should be from 9% to 11%. Take the dollar amt of cheese used at the end of the week and divide it into your sales. Then, to cement the fact of how important cheese portioning should be, divide the amount of cheese used into your food cost. It should be around 30%. This means that...

    Why doesn’t your email address reflect a PMQ link? Are you just fishing for info or is this for real? If you look in the archives, this has already been discussed with the majority feeling it does not drive in long term customers. It only attracts bottom feeders.

    Hobart 30 qt. mixer

    Speaking from experience, you need to pop the top and look inside to see what the status is of the inside. There can be simple problems like a slipped nut or a need for new gears. By the way, you only want to use the lower speed on the mixer. Hobart mixers are usually workhorses. So it may be...

    Looking for Investors:

    It is generally looked at skeptically when someone asks for money without any “history”. Most of us would not loan money to people we have known for years, much less from someone we will most likely never meet. Try contacting a brokerage firm in your own city to find leads for “angel...
