    Ice machine: What size for Self Service?

    Integraoligist: as far as utility bill to keep it that cold… I personally love it cold, but i’d be cold in a 68 degree restaurant. Bump it up to 72 (you could even ease up to it over several days if you wanted). Also, with it at 68 in there, you may be missing out on some customers that dont go...

    Ice machine: What size for Self Service?

    personally, I’d go with the 450. That 220 is really gonna be struggling to keep up especially in the summer. Keep in mind that capacity declines with rises in water and air temperatures. Edit: also remember that when its on top of a fountain machine, it is not only providing ice at the...

    Need Help with an oven!!

    Johnny's Pizza: Pizza is not the only thing that can go through these ovens. I’ve used lincolns, and we ran wings, rib tips and chicken strips through ours as well, and occasionally cookies and such on slow nights. The rib tips got sent through in foil that we made up to basically be a boat to...

    Hobart 20Q legacy trips GFCI circuit breaker

    GFCI’s watch how much juice is coming back compared to how much is going out. If more goes out than comes back, it trips. I presume that your phase converter is converting to 3 phase. I think this would make the outlet sense more going out than coming back. It is also recommended to not plug...

    how much do you pay in credit card fees

    As far as I know, you can use heartland for Point of Success and Bighollar. Hopefully others that are more familiar can either confirm or deny… The difference is… with mercury, the software is already included with POS. With heartland, you would have to buy PC Charge Payment Server and the...

    Just starting our new POS

    How about just a simple sheet they can fill out… then push it by saying “this way we make sure we have your number and spelling of your name correct.” include name, phone number(s), address, email address, and possibly even a special instructions section. Leave several blanks for phone numbers...

    Point of Success

    I’m curious as to what kinds of problems you’re having and what you are running hardware wise… I rarely had computers go down, and I was using dirt cheap 6 year old ebay specials and was running point of success premium just fine… I’m up in your area occassionally to visit my aunt and might be...

    how low can you go?

    actually, i preferred the lower ceilings over the high ceilings. I thought it made the place feel more homey. The last place I worked had a 12 foot ceiling in the dining room and an 8 foot ceiling in the kitchen… Kinda made me feel a little claustrophobic looking out into the dining room from...

    Calls from sales people

    In a similar thread on a completely different forum on the subject… The person answered the phone and let the salesperson go through their speech. Once they finished, they said “that sounds great, how soon can you get me signed up and billed?” They then went on to say that they wanted signed up...

    Replacing 4' Florescent Light Tubes with LED

    Whhhooooopppsssyyy… After doing a tad bit more research on the subject, I guess T5’s are mainly only used when you have them like 15+ feet in the air. Brad’s on the right track with the T8 fixtures… Also, make sure you get electronic ballasts as they are more efficient than magnetic ballasts...

    Replacing 4' Florescent Light Tubes with LED

    Look into the T5 fluorescent fixtures as well… Those things are crazy bright and dirt cheap to run, especially if you get the ones that have the mirrored reflectors in them instead of just the plain white ones. By going with the mirrored reflectors, you might even be able to cut your fixture...

    VOIP Phone System

    In my opinion, non land-line phones do not belong in a delivery/carryout environment, there is just too much risk for loss of income because your internet is down… Also take into account the amount of other internet traffic you’ll have because of credit cards and online ordering. yes you can set...

    Cost to run an electric Oven

    In order to figure that out, you’re going to need to know the size of the heating elements in the oven (wattage or KW), and the cost of electricity delivered. Since you’ll probably be considered a “commercial” account with your electric company, you’ll want to see if you’ll be paying “demand...

    Middleby 350 problem

    Update! They had an “oven whisperer” come in today to look things over after the other oven started acting up, and it turns out that the gas pressure feeding the ovens was low. Now I guess between getting that corrected and some other minor adjustments here and there, both ovens are running as...

    Theft

    Go in sometime after hours when everyone is gone and put a couple more up, only hidden ones. Don’t tell anyone they are there, and if you can “hide” them on your monitor, do that as well. The DVR I used we just named them something random and then set them to where only certain people could pull...

    Chit Chat

    We actually encouraged our staff to chit-chat in the kitchen, as long as it wasnt detrimental to the tasks at hand. You’d see us back there laughing and singin and havin a good time. We had an open window between the kitchen and the dining room as well. Now here’s the thing… everyone ENJOYED...

    How Do You Deal With The Long Hours?

    As for the long hours, a cranked up stereo after hours did the trick for me, that and having a great staff that i didnt have to micromanage. Cant really help you with the kids aspect, i didnt have that issue…
