    Any one slow this weekend

    IT seems that things haven’t been the same since the week of Easter for me. First I thought it was easter, then the week after and everyone was tapped out from all the easter stuff they had to buy, then April 15th for taxes, and the following week, then this weekend it was Prom and i figured...

    Mozzarella through the roof

    I currently blend the Grande with a Saputo product. Lugano is packaged for Ferraro and is a Saputo product as well as Riselli which is packaged for U.S. Foods. The problem I found with both is they do well when blended with the Grande but I’m not a fan when used by themselves. I also found that...

    Mozzarella through the roof

    I just spoke with my Roma rep(and close friend thank God) and he gave me a heads up that that mozz is going up about 14 cents almost immediately. He has no reason to lie to me and he knows I deal with other companies and that hasn’t affected our friendship so I believe what he says is true. That...

    Thanks to all that responded. It’s only been five days since I found this forum and after staying up late nights and reading posts(when I should be sleeping) I’ve found so many going through a lot of the same things I am.

    Lets compare profit percents!

    Food cost=31% Labor=23% fixed-$1700 weekly average weekly sales=7000 I also work about 75 hours a week in my shop but that is because I make the sub rolls from scratch(I have a bread rolling machine for the “hard” work and a proofer to speed up the process) I have to be in early in the morning...

    ValPak

    I haven’t had much luck with ValPak either. Since they are franchised the rates may be different for each area but I can tell you where I am in Virginia it costs $300 for a single panel flyer and $400 for a double. You have to commit for four months at a time. I tried putting my entire menu in...

    How many distributors do you use?

    WOW…SYSCO $$$$$, I don’t know where you are so it’s hard to say, but i have a pizza shop in Virginia and I use US Food Service, Roma(Vistar), and Ferraro Foods. I have found by having three distributors it’s keeps the salesmen honest. I know they have to make a living but let’s face it, When the...

    Driver misery

    I have a driver that I “inherited” when I bought a failing business last summer. He is an excellent driver, preps when it’s slow and is, for the most part, a great guy, however, he has some major “issues” and some bad habits too. When he starts to pi… me off, i simply post a “Drivers Wanted”...

    Hand tossed versus Sheeters

    I work my shop with an open kitchen…this has it’s good points and bad points…I hand toss all my own and use brick ovens…while this is a slower and sometimes more painful process than a sheeter and conveyors, my customers would bail on me if I switched over. Most of my customers come to me...
