    managers...operations....sales? Your thoughts

    Kris I think you’re being a little harsh. I don’t see anywhere where he says store 1 is falling apart indeed CIGuy say ‘On the flip side of this, he is not the best operationally. He does a good job, but sometimes just does things that leave me scratching my head’. A good job is a good job. ‘He...

    managers...operations....sales? Your thoughts

    CIGuy: I think its a great idea. As you say the challenge is to make it positive so there has to be wins for both managers at both stores. You really need to make sure the benfits that each manager creates at each store is highlighted and there are ‘shared goals’. Maybe when you get together...

    Chain store opening on our doorstep

    ok - understood re the re-sizing although I personally think you’re taking a very subtle line which will miss loads of customers. When I rang PH when I opened to see how big their ‘large’ pie is the girl who answered didn’t even know the size just that it was large. Even when I’ve explained our...

    managers...operations....sales? Your thoughts

    I can see where you two are coming from, but these guys have different skills so it would seem (to me) to be a waste not to utilise those skills at the same time as helping to improve the other persons skills. To me I’d be equally concerned about a store only doing $6k even with tight...

    Chain store opening on our doorstep

    Dave that sounds like a really good plan. You won’t stop people trying them so to get them to try your beforehand is a great idea. Maybe a bounce back would be a good idea for new customers? You have a POS? Why not send a follow up for new customer with a really good deal, that gets them hooked...

    managers...operations....sales? Your thoughts

    sounds like a good idea to me. I think you need to brief the managers well so that they don’t see it as an opportunity to ‘pick holes’ in the other guys store. Maybe some form of bonus shared bonus scheme that encourages them to work together to keep op costs down but sales up. If you can get...

    Advice for Noob. I Dare You to Burst my Bubble

    ok here goes with the questions: Benedetto: If you look a few recent posters have also made the same comments and plan to open in Florida. There is good and bad pizza everywhere. The problem is finding what CUSTOMERS think is good, it may be the best made pie, it may be the cheapest it may be...

    Website up and runing

    sorry my message wasn’t clear. They’re also not in Australia so doubt they will pop in even for a free pizza! I’ll bear it in mind in case I ever fly over! :lol:

    Website up and runing

    I think the speed issue you are seeing is that you’ve got the images cached. Once I’d been into each of the pages then out and back in again the images came up straight away. I’m no IT expert so I’m not saying that why but it would be my guess. I clear everything when I close my browser and it...

    Website up and runing

    Dave I think its a great start. Red & Black ain’t a great one IMO it is hard on the eyes. You may want to look at this again. The menu for example is pretty big and not very easy to read. Re ‘download speed’. I’m on an 18Mb broadband and I notice that the toolbar at the top of the screen, the...

    Help New Place

    ScoreboardpizzaCo: I’m not saying ‘don’t do this’ but I would really suggest you think VERY carefully about HOW you do it. I’ve run this promo twice and it just didn’t have the ultimate goal I was looking for (the 2nd time was actually a request from the local paper and they gave us loads of...

    delivery driver pay

    sorry Dash I started my post and then broke off and by the time I posted it you’d popped in and posted an answer to part of my question. Seeing as how doorhanging and other promo stuff doesn’t attract tips they ain’t gonna get 20.00 per hour then so how will you handle that? In my area I can’t...

    delivery driver pay

    dash: Dash, since you asked the question and are considering doing this can you give your reasoning as to why one day you would pay drivers 7.25 then the next xxxx (whatever this lower amount is - please tell us)? You would have to justify this to your staff so have a good on here. I’m not...

    + / - Conveyer Ovens / Deck Ovens

    smeagol8: LOL having a conveyor oven gives no exclusive license for hiring idiots - deck owners can hire idiots just as easily! :lol: In answer to the question in general: Every oven cooks differently - fact. A good conveyor pie is different from a good deck pie. Some people prefer conveyor...

    Using facebook?

    PizzaBrewer: nah its never too late. Set the other one up and encourage people to move to the new one. I had about 150 people on my group page and I closed it in November. I’m just under 400 now on my fan page.

    Using facebook?

    paul7979: On a group page nothing that is posted gets sent to the group member. On a fan page the item posted by the Originator goes on the fan’s page. If a fan posts a comment under it then it would also appear. So you do need to keep an eye on it. If a fan creates a new/original...
