yep! yep! know your regulars. doggie bones are great around here. remember when the kids or parents have been sick and ask how they are doing. I am in a rural area and grew up in a rural area so I do okay conversationally with farmers, which most of my customers are. We send coffee to the local...

the little gas station down the street from me has Hunts bros,. Once people got a better fresh baked i have about knocked it out of business. In the bigger town a few miles away, they advertise thst if you buy a hunts bro. unbaked on your food stamps they will bake it for free. I am not sure how...

i use a little vegetable oil on a scotch brite pad to clean my rollers, but I have metal a very old roller. it works good and doesn’t clog or screech .

I use full red fully prepared but add sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper, a little Italian seasoning. not too much tho as it is a good sauce as it is.

i have a drive thru. Was here already. Mine keeps us hopping but I have beer and cigs sooo As far as pizzas go most of mine is people picking up call in orders… We have a few that drive thru and order then go do errands and come back to pick up. Those i make pay for when they order or a lot of...

Be careful , the FCC is out there. I do a little community broad cast out of my building and can only go like 1 frequency or so sort of cb ranges or you run into licenses and stuff. If you bleed over to any bigger stations you can run into some big fines so I had a local DJ guy hook mine up so I...

I also use Sysco, but have found having a secondary supplier is a good idea. The cheese I use is $8 case cheaper then sysco so I get cheese from them. Just make sure you ask about minimum order cost . I also am lucky enough to have a restuarant depot not too far away so I can go there and get...

I tend to agree on the consistency of doing your own bread. I was a bakery manager for 8 yrs and dough can be a fickle thing. There is a lot of things that affect the proofing and baking process. I have only had pizza shop about 1 yr in May but my business has picked up so much that I have hired...

anyone else stay open late on christmas eve and open on christmas day?? I did and boy was I suprised!!! I have 7 day beer sales so that did not suprise me on Sunday but the fact that pizza and sub sales were only a couple of percent less than beer sales really surprised me. People go crazy if...

don’t have delivery but am closing at midnight instead of 10 pm for New years.

I read in one of the replies to keep your stones in the ovens clean. How do you do that??? Clean them, I mean. Mine probably need it. I know a lot about other food stuff but not much about deck ovens. If you turn down the temp. can you bake cookies and things in them or no?? Thanks in advance.

I did not need case studies for my financing in buying an existing biz about 4 months ago. I did need lots of facts. I got a lot of percentages on pizza growth sales on the economics of the growth of the industry. I put these in numbers and on graphs. I also threw in a lot of numbers and...

some great ideas here. I have only been open about 3 and a half months. i have no advertising except a sign out front and word of mouth. Of course, I have a carryout for beer and cigs too so do not rely solely on pizza and sub sales. I add new items constantly and give some smaller versions to...

I use deck ovens and pizza screens. I had trouble at first with one of the ovens burning the crust and the top was not done at all. I would have a repair guy check the oven out for correct temps and evenness of temps. the only pizzas I have a problem with are the ones that have a lot of...

What if you try one of those big thermal containers like the caterers use to transport food to parties?? I am not sure how long they keep things hot but might be worth checking it out to save some trips. Or you could see if the person you are making the pizzas for will go in with you and buy a...

Thank You, I think we got it. We brush ours with garlic spread which we use for cheesy breadsticks anyway. Can you do a dessert calzone?? Maybe pie filling in the pizza crust, brush with eggwash and sprinkle with sugar?? I am really new to the pizza biz but have lots of foodservice experience.

I am located in a rural area. I bought a small carryout with pizza and subs about 3 months ago. Evening and weekend business is great but am looking to expand the menu to get more daytime sales. Anyone know where to find recipes for pastas and calzones. I have 2 pizza ovens and am installing a...
