I’ve been told figures from 4-8% over the years. And then again I’ve also been told that the %'ge spent should be set at the amount of sales that you WANT to achieve rather than the %'ge of current sales. I know plenty of people say, we don’t need to spend money on marketing as we’re busy...

bodegahwy: and just as important if not more so 4) your ability to shop around and spot a good deal and/or negotiate a better one! I regularly review my contracts on a regular basis and move as and when required to get a better one. I have got better rates on my credit card by comparing and...

goodmank: All I can say to that one is that where I live we have very strict gun controls, hand guns are illegal, and funnily enough shootings are very very rare unlike in the US!

NicksPizza: I’d agree with both of those comments totally! The supply bit was never in question. And re the 2nd point - absolutely spot on! We both do it but in much different styles (of course ours is much more appropriate but…ah hem… we’re far to polite to mention it)

Daddio: I think we’re back on to gregsters old trick of changing the argument when his position became untenable, telling the original poster what their thread was actually about, same way he ignored whole posts when if got too difficult. He too had high morals. He totally disagreed with tip...

qcfmike: Now, now you’re confusing grammatical correctness with spelling errors, and I was talking about correct spelling. Theirs was actually spelt correctly, although not used in the correct context! :lol: Ironic thought that you mis-spelt ‘momment’! :roll:

oh come off it, its obvious, I’m the only one on here who can spell properly!!! Lets get it straight for once, its colour, honour, centre, metre, analyse… ;o) I suppose now that’s out of the bag theirs only one other thing to guess!! :roll:

don’t worry we do!!

no just used to you guys taking the credit for everything even when you turn up late. 😉

Mike, I didn’t know you were Russian thanks for saving us in WW2. I was actually referring to the US!

Ah, the 4th of July, the day the young petulant off-spring officially flew the nest!! The young ones they always think they know better! Not sure if its any better than the bad ones we sent ‘down under’! :roll: Happy 4th of July to you all!

Daddio As a moderator can you see who has voted for what. Call me a cynic but I would suspect that 2 of the people (out of 3) who have voted for ‘tip credit’ aren’t even owners!

I try to regularly check google for any mention of my shops. In reality I probably get around to it once a month. I saw this suggestion on PT forum (credit where its due) to set up a google alert which sends an email with any new news and thought I’d mention it here in case people didn’t know...

I’ve had limited success with SMS marketing, mainly getting people to opt in. BUT I firmly believe in trying to do a little of everything is a much better solution to overall marketing. So my marketing includes: Leaflets (door hanging) Direct mail for new customers (addressed to the customer)...

PPG2270: that’s quite funny as we’ve had more examples on this site of indie’s paying under the table, not having insurance etc. Your issues (yes you have issues) seem to be: Your moral objection to anyone (big 3, franchise, or indie) who complies with the law when they use tip credit; and...

I have an non-owned policy which provides coverage for employees whilst on the clock. I’m not in the US so can’t give you a specific recommendation of a company. In my area getting ‘pizza delivery’ added to the coverage on a drivers own policy is expensive so my policy is a way to ensure they...

JaronAC: I’ve never heard of this either - why/how would they add ‘you’ to their insurance?? and if there is a cost increase who pays it and whats to stop the driving removing ‘you’ the next day once you’ve taken a copy of their insurance.

Re: Re-Thinking Delivery Charges PPG2270: Different perspectives - yep - I understand fully as an owner (who is more than capable of paying his drivers above MW and make a profit) the different way to generate the revenues to cover the costs of the business. I have decided on a route that works...

PPG2270: I don’t see any of the owners on this site ‘whining’ about anything I don’t see any of the owners on this site questioning the things that can go wrong with a drivers car - far from it. I don’t see any of the owners on this site saying anything about not being able to pay a fair wage...

and of course in this ever so funny side splitting world: the food magic’s itself to the shop for free, no delivery charges! the food is stored in a cold room and refrigeration units that were free the food is prepped by the same elves who used to make shoes for free for the shoe maker at night...
