Ok veterans! We have been open for just over 9 months & things are going great. I plan on attending the Expo but had a question. I had one supplier offer free tickets to the expo last year but we had just opened & the timing was not good. Have any of you had any luck getting any of your...

We have a large grocery distribution center near our store that is the size of a small city. I am pretty sure they oder pretty regularly from PJ’s. They have a guard gate & big fence around the place. I have tried calling up to the HR department, but to no avail. Any ideas as to how we could get...

Hoss, It is my understanding that Papa Johns ships the dough at 33 degrees. One of my managers worked for the chain for a few years and that is the way they got around the fresh never frozen.

We are a college pizza place & we currently offer one unique pizza topping that has become extremely popular. The topping the kids like is French fries on the pizza. It is even giving pepperoni a run for its money some days. It has been so popular & given us a unique edge over the national guys...

We are just outside of Austin. So we are about 2 hours from Houston. I am not really a mechanically inclined, & really think it would be the best use of my time to pay someone else to do it. I am just having a hard time finding someone willing to do it. PJ, PH & Domino’s have got to have...

Where do you recommend that I go to find someone to clean our oven? I have called all over the place & cannot find anyone that will return my calls about getting our MM360 cleaned. I am not sure I want to take it apart myself & try to put it back together correctly. The normal service providers...

Has anyone used LogoBuy.com before? We are about to order new t-shirts for our crew & to sell, and they gave me a pretty good price. That being said, I am always a little fearful of .coms. Any good or bad reviews? Any other places I should look for quotes that you have used?

For those of you who use coupons, what do you put in the fine print & why? The other big question is do you put an expiration date & why? We are about to print box toppers with 6 coupons & I am trying to decided if I am going to put an expiration date & what to put in the fine print. Currently...

Our shop is located in a college town and our primary demographic is college students. We have done a great job at capturing the students & have a pretty good lock on the late night crowd. That being said, I am looking for ideas to help grow our lunch & early dinner sales. We have been reaching...

Our shop has been open now for a little over three months now. Things are going well, and sales have been increasing. We have online ordering and I love it. No messed up orders, the average ticket price is higher & it does not tie up the phone lines. Right now we are sitting at between 5-10% of...

We are currently not topping our boxes. We have planned on ordering some box toppers, but were recently approached by a local apartment complex that would like to buy advertising space on our box topper. Do any of you sell advertising space in your toppers? Would you sell space? If you did what...

We have been open just over two months now, and things are going great. With the sales comes an increasingly dirty oven. We have a re-manufactured MM360, & it is working great. I just want to do my part to keep it running great for as long as possible. My question for you all is, how often do...

I was talking to a fellow operator about hiring employees, and he prefers to hire someone who has no pizza experience that he can teach his way without having to break old habits. While others that I have talked to prefer to hire someone who has made pizza before so that they do not need to...

Pizza of the Month: These are the type of questions I am looking for thanks guys! I really am looking for questions that will give me a better idea of the person I am interviewing. For those of you using a probation period how long do you keep them on probation? For those of you who do not...
