That was probably my mistake- I chimed in with the min wage, etc. When I opened my last DP store, we payed high for the area in an attempt to do what others here have mentioned- attract and retain. Did it work- to a certain degree but then that “attractiveness” seems to dissipate, if that makes...

I’ve used (or tried) the HB discs and was not that impressed- close® to a deck bake bake but not that close. That said- if you HAVE the MM or AI oven(s), then the HB disc may be the best you can do. Never liked the DP bake but I’ve never really had a screen pie that I thought had an impressive...

What is the issue when you tried to use screens? DP uses screens so, aside from dough formulation, should be a similar set-up.

Good info for me, as well. We all liked all the cheeses. As stated by others here- the difference better smack you in the face at that price.

There are going to be some huge variables so maybe replies w/ state minimum wage and experience will be more helpful.

They sold pies on the Titanic?

Understood, Walter. That’s my plan. I know we all have different ovens, crusts, price points, etc but, at the same time, there’s gonna be some triangulation… if some people say 9/10/11… ok; If some say 13/14/15…16/17. that’s some valuable info. Domino’s puts 16oz on a 16" cheese pie. That was a...

OK… so in a nutshell, how much cheese are we all putting on an 18" $14 cheese pizza? Because I think that 9oz on an 18" $14 cheese pizza- not caring how well it spreads- is not going to fool anybody. I also got the whole they pay the farmers more, massage the cows, have their own vets, etc...

Understood but… 9 on an 18"? That seems very cheap. All the Grande I used yesterday was diced. DP is diced but I’ve seen both over the years. The 9 was used yesterday (not on the pies) as a cost variable in comparing Grande to the other cheese which was a 50/40/10 in regards to price, portion...

We did tests yesterday. All cheese pies and the Grande Prov/Mozz did well. But here’s my issue (add it to the others)… The Grande guy said with Grande the oz/pie is 1/2 the diameter, so an 18" pie would get 9 oz. That seems odd to me- NINE oz on an 18" pizza? I don’t care how it melts. Am I crazy?

For an hour or so (see the other thread, too) I think your best bet are insulated 10 pie carriers. See the other thread for some nuances regarding on-site power, etc. But for that time frame, I think you’ll be ok, depending on what “an hour or SO” means. Starting with 15 pies and getting another...

Regarding Walter’s comment above… Spoke with a dough guy this am and I mentioned what Walter said (though told to me by the Grande rep) regarding less cheese, better coverage, etc. His reply (this morning) was “but why spend $1 to put 16 oz of cheese when you can spend .80 and put on 20 oz?” His...

Appreciate the ideas and thoughts. New build so haven’t sold anything yet. Test bakes on pies tomorrow. Trying to connect the Prism POS to the internet today- that’s today’s struggle. There will be a new one tomorrow, I’m sure.

Then I’d recommend some newer versions of what you have. I think that’s the best option and really the only one that will give you the performance you are looking for- certainly if power availability is not an issue.

I have Grande coming this week for some test bakes. Friend on here said he did side by side bakes w/ Grande and others and could tell no difference.

It’s unbelievable here in New England- most everybody is offended by most everybody and most everything. It’s odd, too, because Elizabeth warren is part Indian, er Native American; Sorry Liz. But, it seems nationwide, too. I was at my niece’s Thanksgiving event at her school- she was 7 then, I...

Jamie- Prism just got connected yesterday if you want to come up and play with it. Not 100%… running some cables now but we took some “orders” got the receipt printers, blaster working, etc I have 2 order stations, M/L and office so pretty simple. Install was less than fun as I’m bad with...

Lets just hope the PC police don’t roll into town! Looks nice, though!

I was in the same boat but, as stated above, you triangulate comps, market positioning and your business model and get pretty close.

You know… I was kinda thinking that, too. I was at Sam’s yesterday grabbing a few bulk bakery items just to play around with recipes,. etc I stood at the meat section (not buying anything) but just staring at the offerings, prices, etc… the NOT having to deal with a slicer, etc My girfriend said...
