I assume they were standing in the vicinity of your store but advertising their products - nothing to stop them doing this, and nothing to stop you adversing your products in the vicinity of their store. Once someone (them/you) start holding posters about the competition’s...

I think many business owners get too focused on what ‘they’ want their shop/food to be like and lose sight of the fact that we are serving and doing business (or not as the case may be) with CUSTOMERS. It’s the CUSTOMERS wants and needs that we are here to satisfy NOT the other way around. Of...

Just a thought. Advertising revenue is down for most media producers and I’d bet radio is one of the hardest hit. Maybe worth agreeing up front to stage the payments. This would probabely be better than taking a loan. When I’ve done radio stuff before I’ve never paid up front normally all of it...

Unfortunately guys I think I was the straw which broke the camels back, so to speak, and pushed Daddio to leave (albeit he beat me to it)! Having been really p***** (as a large majority have) with gregster being allowed to accuse us, offend us and then ‘be our friend’ (whilst at the same...

In our location merchants are strongly advised not to accept ‘card holder not present’ transactions unless we are delivering the goods to the card holders address. In my 5 years in the shop (and I’m in there on the phones regularly) I’ve had only one or two instances where someone wanted to pay...

The key point I saw in smeagol8’s post was that HE DOESN’T DELIVER. If you don’t deliver then I can’t imagine WHY you would want to accept cards over the phone - it makes no sense at all if the customer was coming into the shop in any case. We accept cards over the phone for delivery but if...

I can’t see an issue with having a tip jar clearly labelled along the lines of ‘the cooks and kitchen crew’. In the original post I recall it was a bar? Well people can tip the bar tender or put something in the tip jar or both. Power to the customer to tip whether they believe they get...

great job. Thanks

I sometimes can’t understand why some things work and other don’t. I have similar experience as you have with black and white (quick DIY job) versus professional print jobs. I’ve also had professional print jobs with really good value offers generate a great response i.e. getting the phone...

Daddio Can you not delete the ‘offending/off topic’ posts rather than locking the whole thing and leaving the off topic comments. It seems a shame as it is an interesting topic which will now need to start a new thread. Seems a shame (although its great to see some swift moderation). Wiz

Going back to the original topic at hand… We have very little tipping other than the odd $1 on an order in my local other than waiting staff at a restaurant. Even in bars we don’t tip people. We do have a few great tippers though this has caused more problems than good and in one case we’ve...

what part qcfmike: sure if you ignore the ‘exactly the same spec’ bit.

gregster: nah, it was meat products (beef, peperoni and meatballs) exactly the same spec, around 20% cheaper with the franchise.

paul7979: ok - seems strange. Must be different markets. When I looked at franchise v indy costs in my area the franchise (DP) were waaaaaay lower.

the construction industry is much different than the pizza industry. Pay and taxation for builders has always been based on the fact that they are a highly transient work force and on different sites/project over very short periods of times. To collectively tax them on each project would be a...

gregster: I doubt that’s the case; from the knowledge I have they pay much less on awful lot of food that most indy’s can get.

NicksPizza: A) Don’t worry your not losing your memory - I’ve never said. I’ve not really done too bad to say I’ve been on here for 6 years really! B) its that so whiny foreign markets can send over their banks to make huge profits from you? RBS = Royal Bank of Scotland - although that’s not a...

you guys are getting ripped off in the US - I’ve just looked at my last bill and I paid 1.1% and 1.4% (fees/total cc sales) and that includes terminal rental. And before anyone queries who I’m with… RBS. Go figure!

Integraoligist: IMO Its no different than ANYONE can order over the phone - no different really. If someone wants to scam you then they will. We don’t require a card on file for ordering in fact we don’t even require someone to register - its all about making it easy to order. We get bad...

It takes quite a bit of time, and persistent work to get online sales. I get somewhere in the region of 40% of my sales online with at least 25% paid online (rather than cash at the door) each week. I’ve been running online for nearly 5 years now and its built steadily over the years. We have...
