    Direct mail -VS- Newspaper Insert

    I am also in a small town, and found the paper insert to be an effective, cheap way to go. I chose the paper that had the local grocery store ad in it, many people will not read that paper, but most households will pull the grocery store ad out, and your insert will come with it. The one here...

    Delivery Bag Dilema.

    paul7979: Good point Paul, I forgot they made bags with handles, we inheirited a couple of party bags with handles, that nobody will use because they are difficult to keept straight. How we have the straps is one front to back and one side to side, since it’s not necessarily a handle, in order...

    Delivery Bag Dilema.

    One thing we do is when we get the bags we take them to the shoe shop (or any other place that has large sewing machines will work) and put straps with quick clips on them. We mainly did it because it gives us handles on the bags to make them easier to carry, but it also provides the drivers...

    Questions about adding subs to menu...

    If you have the space, why would you even consider putting a franchise sub in, why not just do your own thing? You would be able to do it in your own kitchen with better labor efficiency and cost control. you would be able to determine what type subs to offer that compliment your pizzas to...

    Dicing Sausage

    I don’t do this—but have you tried patting it out into your pan and then cutting (scoring it) with a roller pizza cutter before you bake it. Then when it comes out pull it apart by hand. (actually you may want to wait til it cools down). this may give you the size you want the sausage to be, but...

    Salads To Go

    don’t put the lettuce in. put all your toppings in the container. When they order it flip the container upside down so the the meat and cheese go into the top of the container— throw the lettuce in and turn it right side up.

    Strange request

    I have a very simple policy, If it can’t be done 100% of the time for 100% of the customers, than the answer is no. We learned years ago, that doing something out of the ordinary for one customer will always come back and bite you in the butt. You may make a friend out of that customer, but you...

    Are you doing anything special for Halloween?

    Rick G: I would watch doing anything too crazy. The last 2 years Holloween has been on Saturday and Sunday where parents had time to make something to feed the kids and get them dresssed up. Being back on a weekday this year, their time will be limited, kids getting home from school, parents...

    Credit card charge backs

    well if all else fails, you can hope for karma. we did a legitimate charge back one time on a piece of equipment that we never received. Months later I ordered a computer online and it took 3 weeks to get the card authorized before they could even enter the order, the computer should have...

    To deliver or to not deliver

    I agree with the above posters, if there is no competition for delivery and you don’t need it don’t do it. My business has approximately 5000, approximately 5 mile radius, and as Nick stated two drivers will be over kill but be neccessary if you have deliveries going east and west. my...

    BLT pizza revisited

    we do ours very simple, just olive oil, bacon and cheese. then when it comes out mayo, sliced lettuce, and diced tomatoes are added. The mayo being put on first acts as a glue to hold the lettuce on.

    Manager Motivation

    I learned this from somebody wiser than me, but anytime I have to reprimand an employee, I say 2 good things that individual does or has contributed to the business before I bring up what they need to improve (if you can’t think of 2 good things the employee needs to go). Then when you see them...

    Walk in not cooling to temp and freezing up

    When I had this problem, I got told to check the fan behind the evaporator, when I shined the flashlight in there, I had a huge block of ice on the side that was not visible without the flashlight. If yours has a fan, check to make sure that is working. Clean the compressor. If it’s sitting on...

    How would you handle this??

    I probably would not have handled this properly either. But one thing I do on large pre-orders now, is take a phone number to confirm the order before making it (and they are told the order won’t be made until I get this confirmation) and I also give them my personal cell phone number so if...

    I finally change my price structure.

    Daddio, I am glad that is working for you. You will always have customers that are going to complain of a price increase, I usually do a 5% across the board and had one lady complain because her 1/2 sub went up a dime. PPG you need to look from things from a customers point of view too. I don’t...
