Well, as interesting as that report was (I felt like I was in some kind of math class there for a minute), I would go with Kris’ suggestion to ask your customers. And then, to make it fun, you could maybe make up your own customer suggestions by holding a little beer & pizza tasting event where...

We don’t have any chain pizza competitors within 20 miles from us with the exception of grocery stores or bars with frozen pizza, so I view the grocery store as my “cheap pizza competition.” There is no way I even want to compete on price, so we just never started down that road. Our mantra has...

I’m about ready to toss all my employees into a recycling bin and give them a good shaking up!!! :x We’re one small store in a small town (population 850 in a rural community of about 3,000 with summer tourists) so we’re going into a slower season. The crew of 4 all want lots of hours (and I put...

What I really hate is that in the “olden days” (before the gas crisis and the economy crisis) we would have a slow day and just say, “Oh. Slow day. Time to wash the windows or some other cleaning project.” Now we have a slow day and we start to freak out and get all stressed and worried about...

I’d better buy extra cheese this week, then?? 😉

Maybe you could package a drink into the deal and sell them both for $5. Have cans of pop and water on ice. People aren’t looking at price so much as what they want, and if you make it really simple the line will scoot through quickly. Do you have a hot box to keep the pizzas warm? I’m curious...

We used to have Travelers but now we have Farmers, which is less. The policy is on the entire operation as well as our commercial vehicles. I don’t offhand know what it costs for how much coverage, but it only includes family as drivers at this time.

I also have a wrapped Scion xB!! I got it done a few years ago and it’s been a great advertising resource. (I’m not sure how to post an image right now or I would.) Besides driving around town, it’s also fun in parades. One great thing I’ve also done is gotten into the local regional Scion...
