Just received an e-mail from PH, who are rolling out their new pizza sliders. Sounds like a lot more work to me…but it’s definitely different. I think we’ll just stick to our regular size pizzas - I can’t imagine all those little tiny pizzas filling up our ovens and then trying to get them all...

Awesome reply Piper. Just what we wanted to say, but couldn’t quite formulate it the way you did. I appreciate it!

We had a driver get in a car accident last night (not her fault), but she got shaken up pretty bad and her car was totalled. Of course, it happened during the dinner rush…but the staff did a good job at getting another driver in and getting things back on track. This morning, we received this...

Now I have somewhat an opposite view of hiring someone to do it. To me this is my chance to get “up close and personal” with our customers. A chance to get them to know us and to interact with them. If I hire someone to do it it wouldn’t have that same personal feel that we have now, it would...

We received an email today from our insurance broker concerning things that need to start being looked at in terms of being in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. From what I understand, we don’t really have to do anything until we have at least 50 employees. Am I right? Has any of this...

My own personal view is that restaurants shouldn’t be allowed to pay $2.13 an hour to servers, who then have to collect tips to make up the rest of their wage. The tip shouldn’t be a part of their wage…it should be payment for a “job well done” above and beyond service. One of the definititions...

We always close as well. We have 2 stores and have a company softball game and picnic, where we provide all the food and drinks for the staff, their families, and a guest. We have a great turnout and it’s the one day of the year that we can all get together, have fun, be competitive, and no...

I just took a stack of 8/12 x 11 fliers to the post office today to mail EDDM and the clerk asked me if they had contacted me about their new size regulations and that my fliers did not qualify. I just mailed on Monday and no one told me anything. The postal clerk showed me a memo that was...

Re: Seller to be avoided SHIMMMER.com We had CLOSE to a similar incident when trying to purchase an oven with him when he was doing business as PESI about 4-5 years ago. After a month of discussions regarding the shipping date, etc. all of a sudden we were told that it was going to ship out in...

Actually Paul we do have most of what you have suggested. Everything was in the safe that night except for the little bit of soda money. The alarm does have a siren, and we do have camera system with DVR which is viewable from home. The alarm company we currently have will be fired in the next...

We’ve been in business over 12 years and only had 3 or 4 break-ins and nothing was ever stolen. The last month has been terrible. We live in the Houston suburban area and apparently small businesses are the main targets lately. Our first location was broke in and nothing was stolen…cost us $500...

First thought that came to my mind was: Chuggin Choo Choo

Hmmm…guess our new marketing campaign will be “Get the pizza YOU are paying for the way YOU want it” http://www.click2houston.com/news/Domin … index.html

Now you have fresh fish for your pizzas for Lent!

We too have to chime in and say Happy Anniversary. It’s great to come to a place to share all our stories, our victories, our defeats, our problems, and our “great” ideas with people who are working just as hard as we do. This magazine and this forum have really helped our small business these...

We are planning to come this year…IF 6 employees don’t quit that week, the oven doesn’t blow up, and…well you all know how it is! 🙂 As we get closer to that date, we’ll all make plans to meet up.

Last year we did heart shaped pepperoni and cut our Cinnamon/Sugar dessert into hearts as well. The customers LOVED it. In fact, it was one of the best Valentine’s Days we had ever had. We found a package with three different sizes of heart shaped cookie cutters in the cake decorating section at...
