    Adjusting Carbonation On Pepsi Heads

    It’s been awhile since I had to adjust Pepsi heads, and I forgot which screw it was that adjusted the carbonation. My CO2 tank is full, but the pop doesn’t seems to stay carbonated too long after its poured. And it seems to be worse on the dark pop over the clear pop. Any help would be greatly...

    Anybody else here dead?

    Steve, The store on North Park is now called 4 Diamonds Pizza. I was going to reopen it, but I couldn’t find adequate help to trust. This store here in Rockford is exactly what we were looking for, plus the economy is stronger up here and this is where we live. People bounce back quickly here...

    Anybody else here dead?

    There’s an old saying, “Worker smarter, not harder”. I’ve found that if you find ways to reduce costs even when times are good, you’ll end up farther ahead when the times aren’t so good. But, I also have to agree, we just need to keep our chins up high, be confident about our business and when...

    Anybody else here dead?

    I agree with Dave, we’re just going to hang in there and try to figure out ways around this. It isn’t good sense to try to offerr huge deals when all the costs are rising. You’ll be working harder with no return. It is tough to do everything you can do to make a great product, do all the...

    Anybody else here dead?

    Holy Smokes!!! Gas jumped up 15 cents today and everywhere was dead tonight. It’s now $3.55 per gallon here in Michigan. And once again, we’re slow… I hate coming off of great weeks only to start off down due to something out of my control.

    Anybody else here dead?

    The only time we seems to have any problems with business is when they raise gas prices like they did today. It takes a couple of days for people to adjust their finances.Otherwise, we’re also doing good compared to what the previous place was doing in this location.

    Manager question....

    the basic thing everyone is talking about is accountability. It’s part of their job to be held accountable as a manager for their performance. One thing you might try is a surprise visit when you’re off. It’s easier to hold someone accountable if they’re caught in the act. It could turn out to...

    Pepperoni topping

    ilwp: I wasn’t aware that Pepperoni went into a veggie pie, that must be a shock for the vegetarians in your neck of the woods…LOL We always put the flat meats, then the veggies, and then sausage on top if the pie has it.

    Pizza Peels & Cutting Methods?

    We also use the aluminum peel and take it straight to the box. Like Nick says, “No fuss & no muss”. We use wheel cutting for most of the pizzas, a rocker on the ones with tons of toppings.

    Customer Problem

    Honestly, it’s better to just take care of the problem and move on. 1 pizza won’t hurt you as bad as the fact that he may tell others that he wasn’t happy, that hurts more. I’ve always been one to just make the problem go away as fast as possible. What’s worse is when you have a full line of...

    inexpensive buffet items

    When I worked for Sbarros and Villa Pizza, our food set out like a buffet, except we served them and they paid by the slice. In our county, there’s a 3 hour hold time on pizza allowed by the health department. Not that we left it out for 3 hours, it became a judgement call. If it looked bad or...

    $5.99 pizza

    We also picked our slowest day of the week and decided to do a whole pizza special. $5.99 for a 14" 1 Topping. With us being newer in the area, its more about getting people to try our food. As it is with the chains, ours is for a limited time only.

    Good information on Restaurant Success

    Sara, We’ve set our kids up in the office with games, tv, stuff for them to do so they can still be close to us, but have their own time. It does get rough sometimes, especially when we’re busy. It’s better now that our daughter is out of diapers. It just depends on the room that you have and...
