gregster: I’m high end in my market place (on both price and quality) AND quicker than the lower end players so I’m not sure I agree with that statement. If you go into a fine dining restaurant you don’t expect to wait longer than a normal service restaurant do you? I really don’t think that...

I’m sure that it would be cheaper for me to run my own cars but I don’t because: I don’t have the space to store 13 cars in one shop and 10 at the other, and if I did I wouldn’t leave them outside due to the chances of vandalism/theft out of hours. based experience - we have some company owned...

I think your comments show that where acurate/longer times are quoted and you hit them then the customer feels this is good. As an owner I hate those nights were delivery hits an hour and normally on those I end up part of the night driving. I ALWAYS apologise for the lateness but the typical...

Re Moderation. This site (as you well know) is moderated with a ‘lite touch’. It is ludicrous for anyone to somehow claim some form of ‘endorsement’ from the moderators just because a comment has not been moderated as you seem to have started doing. I believe you have been spoken to about your...

Glad its off to a promising start keep us updated with progress pizzaboy: you’re spot on with this but you did miss out that ‘operations’ is the biggest part in making the difference between making a profit and a loss!

our ave. delivery time is around 24 minutes and yes quick delivery is very important. Sure from time to time you can’t get them all there so equally important is quoting accurate expected delivery times. People don;t mind waiting an hour if they are aware up front that there is an hour wait...

gregster: and I call it hijacking as well so thats 2 v 1 and I bet the majority of posters on this board will also agree. If you want I can start a poll to see if people agree if that will help clarify the issue for you? gregster: yes, and that’s where they belong so keep them in there not...

Hi pizzajoey It sounds like you’ve thought about your planning which is excellent. Without sounding dismissive, predicting sales is very difficult if not impossible. Sure we can give you a ball park anywhere from $2,000 to $20,000+ a week is possible but not really that helpful to you. There...

A few things to consider: you pay directly for the fuel/up keep of the vehicle rather than paying ‘mileage’ to the driver its not the drivers car so they are likely to treat it as such you need to make sure that you check the car before/after so you can make people accountable for damage if...

Piper: the interesting parts of that are: a) most of the real horror stories over there (and the quote Gregster posts) i.e. 'I don’t get any mileage, am paid below MW (not even tip credit) are not big 3 and b) even though Gregster works for one of ‘the bad guys’ he chooses to stay as he ends...

Rollin1: I’m no expert on this but here’s my take on it. Even if you have an individual page and then set up a fan page you can not see the link between them. On a group page you see the creator/admin but not on a fan page. Each page has its own separate identity but a vanity URL is simply a...

^^^^^^^^here here well said! Gregster - as far as I’m concerned the risk to staff delivering to a delivery point or anywhere has little (if anything) to do with how much I pay them and more to do with how seriously I take safety in general. Sure pay violation is serious and it may be...

Not one person said talking about safety was like beating a dead horse in fact most have agreed with the point you’ve made about delivery points. They are talking about your uncanny ability to turn everything into a minimum wage issue. But you’re a clever guy so you know exactly what we are...

That’s a helpful guide. Hopefully another helpful comment…be very careful when you do this as you can only change/correct a user name once (if you make a mistake). A few people (myself and WA Dave for example) have done this and accidentally set the username for out own (personal) page rather...

I get the same error as Paul when I use firefox and No I don’t use a proxy and its not a problem with cookies. works fine with IE.

Trey: YOU need to be comfortable with the decision you are making so it will be hard for anyone here to tell you which is better. Draw up a list of +'s and -'s for each and see which wins.

Pizzamancer: Thats what love about marketing, very little is proven and what works for one doesn’t work for everyone otherwise we’d all get all of the business! I’m not sure what your definition of inefficient is but in many case saturation marketing is MUCH cheaper than targeted marketing. A...

When I look at staff levels in the store I expect 15-20 items per hour per member of staff. That’s for everything from answering phones thru to cutting and boxing. So 30 pies in an hour would need just 2 people in store. As you get more people in the ratio rises towards and can then exceed the...

so the original idea probably isn’t a bad one as long as the location is thought out.

Pakula's Pizza: You don’t need to offer a discount on a box topper - far from it. I box top with menu’s - always (we change our menu’s 6 times a year). From time to time we use ‘box toppers’ as well to: promote specials for certain days, football games, fathers day, mothers day, valentines...
