    First night with Point Of Success... have a couple questions

    Piper: I don’t have this system, but is there away that you can split payment methods between cash and credit card, if there is you can make the cc payment for a penny less, that would put it back to the cash screen where the driver can enter a tip. That would solve the problem of having to...

    Aggrevated....

    It has been my experience that even “trusted employees” if given enough rope will hang themselves. Unfortunately, the way employees would view stealing and what we (owners) view stealing are two different things. She would probably never consider taking $50.00 out of the till for her own use...

    How would you sell your shop?

    PicassosPizzeria: We never charged anyone to view these documents, but we did make them sign a non-compete contract.

    Locked thread

    NicksPizza: We need to speak to her about this 😛 I’m doing the same thing for the lunch hours right now either I or one of the kitchen help is doing deliveries, It’s not about grabbing tips, it’s about how much time is feasible for a delivery driver to be idle.

    Equipment provided by vendors?

    snowman: I look at this the opposite way—I would spend the money to buy new refridgeration. you don’t store perishable items in a dishwasher or coffee maker, you could loose a lot of money in inventory and sales if it goes down. You maybe able to buy the walls for the walkin used, but the...

    Equipment provided by vendors?

    another way to go is see if they have used equipment that they sell. We bought our used dishwasher from our distributor for a great price, with the understanding that we would buy the chemicals from them (which we would of anyways) This was 14 years ago they came and set it up, and they still...

    Buying a Flat Top Grill

    My only advise would be to pay extra and get a thermostatic control one, they are easier to control the temp of the grill. The ones that have a choice of high, medium and low aren’t very consistant based on the use, if you don’t use it too much the grill gets extremely hot and if you use it a...

    Business slow in Western New York

    Have to agree with you, January and February are never strong months for us anyways, but this year March was a little slow too. Hopefully we get the tourist travelling to our little corner of the state, to make for a great summer.

    prep table died . . . buying replacement, need advice

    I’ve had a True Pizza table and freezer for about 13 to 14 years now. They have both been pretty reliable with a few repairs. freezer needed new fans (my fault) and timer, but basically minor repairs. and the cooler needed some switch that was around a $50.00 repair. Bought a Turbo air 4 years...

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

    I was agreeing with Kris, til she started firing people :). I believe everybody has their strengths and weaknesses, it’s our job to figure that out and to train to strenghthen their weaknesses and praise their strengths. I don’t see how putting managers in the other store is going to help the...

    deaf scam again

    I had a deaf guy come in one day, he introduced himself and placed an order. A couple of days later he called using the relay. So sometimes these calls can be legitimate. So now I do wait, but I start the conversation off with that we do not take credit cards over the phone and usually they...

    Just a vent

    I wouldn’t take it personally Rick, I don’t think they are saying it impying that you would steal it. I think they are implying that they know they can’t get cash back from a check or CC sale, but want to make sure the driver can get a cash tip from that type of sale.

    Employee Shifts

    Your other option would be to re-train the guy. Help him with setting up what is priority, and what can wait til after lunch. Seems like it would be easy to figure out, but I have problems with my employees (long time ones) they still need help prioritizing prep work. and I don’t allow throwing...
