Piff, I’m sorry. I just realized how far off topic we have sidetracked your thread. Sorry. We tend to go off on tangents apparently. Maybe we should just leave this for spoodle talk.

Yeah, I have the do the same when we are roasting chicken or turkey. I basically do it at a time when I can shut down a stainless table to everythign else and pan and season it up there so I can then clean and disinfect it before we need it for random stuff. In thinking about it, every other...

I really need to come visit, GotRocks.

I’m leaning heavily towards Point of Success for us.

I’m sure it has to do with the extra labor involved with fresh. Also, the added steps required when working with raw pork around pizza toppings. Being in BBQ, you have a pretty good setup for that I assume. I would like to grind and mix my own, but there’s the space required and the room to keep...

Yeah, I think that’s who we’re going to go with. We met them at the show and I think they will do a great job. I have been playing around with the point of success demo for a few days and think it’s really going to work well with some tweaks.

We just use the one 4oz ladle. Works for our Medium (4oz) and Large (8oz) but we have to eyeball for XL (10oz) and Small (2.5oz). I would love to say just use one to stay fast and efficient, but nothing else we do is as fast and efficient as everyone else. We are also lower volume right now than...

Every time I send a salad clamshell out on top of a pizza box, I think of this Family Guy bit. If you ever come up with an idea, please share!

I found it at Restaurant Depot. They also have blue, black and green I believe.

What are some things you wish it would do that it doesn’t?

At NAPICS, I sampled a bunch of awesome POSs. Speedline was great along with a few others. If I was purely pizza/restaurant, I would be very happy with them. But I asked each one “Can this also handle a large retail inventory?” and all but 2 said, “No, I don’t think anyone out there can.” A...

Just following up, how did your friend like it? I think I’m leaning towards Point of Success.

I’ve been in the pizza business for about a year and a half (and, since I don’t make my own dough, I’m sure many people will tell you I’m still not in the pizza business) and I don’t know if I can recommend my path to get here, though it has worked for me. When I decided that this was what I...

We sell oven baked boneless “wings”. We package them in a 9x9 clam shell on a printed deli paper type sheet. We used to use vented clamshells but I switched to the environmentally friendly clamshells and they don’t have a vent option. They have held up well with no complaints. Those that buy...

I signed up for it before I heard all the horror stories. If it was run as straight forward as they let on, it could be useful. It’s not very popular in our area. We don’t have a review yet. Or at least none they are allowing to show anyway.

We got a ton of useful information out of it. A lot of great marketing ideas from the seminars. I learned new things, found direction for ideas I already had, and confirmed some things I was already thinking. I got to test out some POS systems and sample some great ice cream. All in all, it was...

I worked briefly for that national sandwich chain that required gloves. It is absolutely not allowed to handle cash or touch anything that isn’t related to the food. In fact, technically, you’re supposed to change gloves in between each sandwich. Now, enforcement of this policy depends on the...

Thanks for the responses. For the record, we do try to walk them through and give them a good experience. I was just looking for some polite ways to steer them to the website to save us time on the phone and let them decide at their own pace. Some times it’s never going to do any good. We had...

I don’t get why they keep the delivery fee if they are using your vehicles. I gave my drivers the delivery fee but they were using their own cars, gas, insurance, ect. I paid them regular wage to offset the fact that tipping is hit and miss here. I keep trying to figure out a way to make...

Your time is worth money, so as long as you spend time counting and going to the bank to deposit cash, there will always be costs involved with it as well.
