My bet’s on the high limit switch. Also, when was the last time the oven was throroughly cleaned?

Looks like its been changed in the last few hours. The first time I looked approx 7 hours ago, there was at least a paragraph what was identical on both sites.

I know this is an old thread, but I just came across a news story today. 8 teens had to go to a hospital after drinking hot sauce that was around a half million scoville units. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34957146/ns … ?GT1=43001

indie pizza: So you finally figured out we’re in the same town… 😉 I just realized it the other day myself. If you’re referring to the guy that worked for both of us at the same time, i had nothing to do with him leaving you. He never said anything about how you were doing and i never asked. It...

Oh how I hate the phrase “Thats not how we did it at _____”. Your best bet, like indie pizza said, is to find someone with no pizza experience, but with some kitchen experience. Also, if they are leaving one of your competitors to come to work for you, be a little weary. They may still have...

I didnt use a probationary period in my last job, however, if i ever get back into the business, i’d use a 30 day probationary period. I know of a couple places (non pizza) that use a 90 day period.

I would be careful about items 3,4, and 5. If you ask those questions and end up not hiring a person, they might try and spin things and bring a discrimination case against you. I’d save those questions for after hiring.

Thin2win: Depending on your staff, you may have a hard time having those meetings that often. I’m with pcuezze, I would rather hit the points relevant to the time on a shift-by-shift basis rather than throwing them into an information overload once a month.

I had two questions I always used to change things up a bit. If I were to find some of your previous customers, what would they have to say about you? If I were to call your previous bosses, what would they have to say about you? Also, you might consider hiring with a probationary period...

Do you need the bin? If its just ice for your pop machine, you can get a mounting kit to set an ice maker head on top of the pop fountain, and therefore, you dont have to mess with hauling ice around. Just make sure your ice maker head is the right size. If you do need the bin, you might find a...

I can’t comment on the oven as i’ve never been around that style of oven. However, for your refridgeration equipment, I usually take an air compressor and blow out all of the condenser coils (coils on outside of equipment) once a week or once every 2 weeks. The cleaner you keep these coils, the...

I’ll see if i can help you out. take a pie server and run it around the edge to break any melted cheese that is holding the pizza in the pan. You may have to make several rounds. the pizza should then move around the pan somewhat easily (not stuck to the pan). Then, use a clean folded up towel...

I hated that website. I had a couple issues with it that i did not care for. First, it appeared that a person could buy the gift certificate for less than it was worth. Uh hello, how’s that work??? Second, being a certificate that the person just printed off the internet, they could easily print...

I have a couple ideas. First, dump all of them out, thoroughly wash them, let them dry completely overnight. Then, put a few oyster crackers in the bottom of each one and then refill them with new parm. To dry, I would dry them as much as possibly by towel, then take a pan, put a clean dry...

Bubba: First lesson taught in business 101: Don’t mess with the tax man. I’m with bubba, contact your taxing authority and make an honest effort to get caught up as quickly as you can, and keep up to date with your payments. You could also explore the option of taking out a loan to get your...

SolutionsGal: I don’t know that we should put all the blame on not releasing funds immediately on the CC processor. I think a good portion of the blame should fall on the banking system as well. In my opinion, the banks don’t want to turn the funds back over immediately because when those funds...

pizza2007: If you have a little bit of tech savvyness in you, I would highly recommend Point of Success because you can shop for your own equipment. You can go scouting around on ebay and get your computers from there, and they dont have to be the latest and greatest either. The shops I do IT...

Make an effort to get to know your customers and what they like. If you have a customer that always orders pizza and has a topping left off, and suddenly they order but dont mention to leave the topping off, ask them if they want that topping. If they forgot to mention to leave it off, they’ll...

If its an Impinger II with hot surface ignition, open the main front door. Turn the oven on, stand back a bit, and watch towards the burner area in the back. You wont be able to see the burner, but you should see a bright orange glow coming from that area (on my old Impinger II’s, you would look...

I’m going to have to agree on the PD thing. Just run it by them and see what they say. Also, I made it a point at the place I managed to see that every employee made it to their car and leave after close. Had one waitress that was just too friendly with everyone that tended to park near the...
