As we all know, in this day and time…CASH IS KING. Cashflow is everything. I personally use an employee leasing company. I give a check a week for all taxes and wages. I am not having to keep up with deadlines and having the money in the account every quarter. Not everyone wants to do this, but...

This reminds me of a true story I read about 2 years ago. This man hears a noise outside his bedroom window in the middle of the night. He looks out the window and sees a burglar in his shed. He calls 911 and he tells them what he sees and hears. The operator says that all the officers are busy...

You can go to a sporting goods store, even Wal-mart, and look at the filet gloves for fishing. These are not as good as the chain gloves, but will work at a more economical price. If she is only doing “standard” prep, these will be ok. If she is doing a lot of prep, she may be getting fatiqued...

We’re like a big happy FAMMMMIIILLLLYYYYYY. With a couple of nutty uncles and weirdo cousins!! I have been on this board for close to 3 years, I have learned so much from here that I should be getting CEU credits. haha ( that’s continuing education units). Bubba

You are not supposed to divide your purchases. You are to use the food usage. You need to have a Beginning inventory count + food purchases - ending inventory count. Take this figure and divide into sales. One of the red flags that went up is you have a very large variance from one month to the...

Re: fired deliv. drivers requesting overtime thru Atterney’s I agree with the above posts, however I have been accused, on more than one occasion, of thinking outside the box, ( a trait you ascquire when you are self employed). So, to play the devil’s advocate…if you did not report their wages...

with spellcheck also?

My experience with delivery insurance is minimal. However, let’s remember that insurance is risk based. We are betting that we will need them and they are betting we won’t. So, delivery insurance is based on the amount you do in sales for delivery. The more deliveries you have, the higher your...

I always try to learn from my mistakes or others. So…I would consider, in the future, to offer a “training wage” of minimum ( or whatever) and then they get their bump when they have completed the training and have been punctual. I have always said–screw me once, shame on you-screw me twice...

We just started online ordering and I use Speedline. We are using Onosys. There was a 1 time set up fee of $200. (I think). Onosys only charges me $2/day, all other fees are waived. They were not very fast at implementing it because they had to have Speedline assist them in the initial set up...

Wow, this topic hit a nerve! I have several philosophies in life. One that comes to mind is “Past performance is a good indicator of future expectations”. What I would like to know is who on the Think Tank has signed up for his service, and then have them give us feedback on a weekly basis as...

I failed to mention that it is done only 1 time per person. He would document the trade out so it is only done once. Bubba

Gimme a minute to put on my flame retardant boots… There is a local fellow in my town that does this exact thing. I know him personally and he promises to give me 1k minutes free and will do all the work, if I approve of his service. I have not tried it because of not wanting to make people...

THANK YOU! I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the time you took to talk to me yesterday. I know you are a very busy person and the fact that you took the time to talk to me was truly a highlight of my week. I guess it just goes to show why people like you and I are in this...

You did indeed misunderstand. Big Dave has touted this as a way of guerilla marketing. He says you should be so 100% sure that your product is better than anyone else’s that you are willing to give them a similar pizza from you when they bring in a pizza from your competitor. Kamron is also a...

You might be right. I know that I pay 2.25% of my gross payroll and I pay about $35 to $40 per week. I did talk to a different company, years ago, and they were charging a flat rate per week. It costs about $75/week. It always amazes me how the same type of businesses can charge such a variable...

I have used several payroll companies in the past and they typically charge 2 to 3 % of your payroll. You have the advantage of using their w/c experience rates. I have found that it is not the $30 or so dollars a week but the end of the year that makes it worthwhile. I have also purchased EPLI...

Re: Found a pizza shop listed online for sale, advice needed There has always been a rule of thumb that your employee base should mirror your customer base. People feel more at ease when they are in a similar crowd. If you have a lot of older people as customers, you should have some older...

Several months ago, I did this exact thing. I printed out a list of all my customers who had ordered 3 times or more in the last 6 months. I sent them a nice letter with a bogo or $5 off. I got a whopping 15% return. I also offered free delivery. The letter was good for only 2 weeks. Very happy...

Also, Tom has suggested that we are to not mix the salt and yeast together. I did this long time ago and was having trouble with the rise. I kept them separate and it worked.
