    Equipment provided by vendors?

    Does anyone have a list of vendors that provide free or reduced price equipment? I know Coke does, but what about coffee, tea, refrigeration, dishwashing, etc?

    Can you place a deep fryer outside a building?

    I am GUESSING that it has to be “inside”. Of course, inside is the operative word. BBQ pits tend to be under a roof and have makeshift walls made of a screening material. If you can protect from weather (coming down, not necessarily wind) and control pests (bugs), you might be able to get away...

    Soggy dough at home...

    His oven is pre-heated, right? How long is he taking it out to dress it? Also, I can almost guarantee you that he’s using a shiny pan instead of a dark colored pan. In short, he’s reflecting the heat, not absorbing the heat. If he put a stone in his oven and had it pre-heated for 20-30 mins and...

    Re: Found a pizza shop listed online for sale, advice needed PROVE THOSE NUMBERS… until then he’s just telling stories.

    Lost an eagle....

    Kris: You weren’t FAKE, you were merely keeping your personal issues personal. If you were going through a divorce, would you not put on the same happy smile? You would have done a disservice to your staff to close. They got to try to “work” through it and be with each other. In small towns...

    Gorilla Gift Cards

    Gorilla Cards: Jeff, if I may inject myself into the discussion here. Thanks for introducing yourself to us. You’ve told us what you do and we can assume how you make money. How can your making money help US make money? Can you make hotel cards and get us ON those hotel cards? Do we buy the...

    Debate Nights

    Acknowledging the debates is one thing. You’re not injecting your own political views into it (and shouldn’t – no need to polarize customers or potential customers). It’s no different in my mind than doing a “big game special”. Large Double-Pepperoni, Double-Cheese for $10. It may not be a...

    Unexplained business blues...

    You’re simply overworked. It happens, it’s overwhelming and while you may be making SOME money, you compare what you’re giving up for the money and it’s just not “worth it”. It’s depressing and it makes you just want to quit. Instead of quitting, figure out how much money you ARE making, how...

    Wish me luck...

    Truth be told, for being closed for 30 days, that ain’t nearly as bad as I’d expected. Imagine how much less it would have cost to pay the people to clean it up 30 days ago…

    Left dough cross stacked

    After spraying the tops, stack the boxes so the heat can help soften the tops without any moisture escaping.

    Stupid HCM-450 Question

    It should sound like a motor turning very fast, no rattle or any of that. Of course, if you’ve got something IN there, then the cheese, etc can be noisy, but that’s not bearings, that’s crap getting knocked around. In short, it sounds like the unit is not in great shape. If the attachment is out...

    Houston Hunger Rush!

    From the email posted above, it looks like the “redundant data center” was also in Houston. It doesn’t matter how many different companies provide networking into the building if all networking is cut off. However, they’re covering themselves here… their equipment was up and it’s the network...

    Putting customer photos on your website.

    Yep, I walked into a Subway and they had it posted on their door. It was one of Jared’s visits. I made sure they weren’t ready to tape and got my sub and left. I have no desire to be on TV, and if they thought they wanted me on TV, they need a new marketing person anyway. If you put something on...

    Free Whitepaper - Pizza Advertising Results

    pizzatime: Here’s the issue as I see it. Bury somewhere in the “terms of service” that by signing up, you agree to be contacted (blah, blah, blah), which isn’t what Nick wants. Nick is simply saying that Chris offered something for FREE, and while there’s no cost involved, it’s not without...

    ?_Giannini:

    Use your drivers for intel. Are they seeing other companies delivering to these places? If so, who and how much? Do you have any places where you could “cater” lunch to their breakroom? These are businesses with a couple hundred cars in the lot – too small for an on-site cafeteria, but large...

    How do you know if you have what it takes?

    amnkeefe: How important are your friends and family? If you have a weekly poker game you “can’t miss”, or want to go out on dates with your wife… you aren’t ready. You’re about to have a new wife and she will require every minute of your time – and if you think your current wife can make your...

    Employee question....

    Thank her for her two weeks notice. Then ask her if she’d do you a favor. Tell her up-front your (this) whole plan. The next night she works, ask her to empty her pockets of all money and give her a receipt for any money she has – she will get it back at the end of the night, so she doesn’t have...
