    Need help finding immigrant workers, any ideas?

    He said IMMIGRANT, not ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT. I’m going to make an assumption here. I’d bet he’s simply looking for people who come from an impoverished background and understand the value of money and are willing to WORK for it. He’s already said his area is 95% caucasian. If there’s anything...

    American Cheese?

    Actually, there are two VERY distinct “American” cheeses (yellow ones). Kraft Singles is the best I’ve found in a grocery store. However FOOD SERVICE “American” cheese has a different flavor. You’ll find this type of cheese on your cheeseburgers from fast food joints. But I’ll tell you one...

    Anyone using these patriotic pizza boxes?

    dewar: I don’t like it based upon trying to cash in on the whole patriotic craze as Nick mentioned. I also believe that the box takes away a premium advertising spot for your business. They look like something I’d expect to see at the local gas station/“pizza” place – the kind where the cashier...

    Recommendation for prep table/dough retarder?

    NJFrank: I’m sorry, I didn’t make my concern clear. If you’re going to get a traditional pizza prep table, often the front apron isn’t deep enough, and people will make cutting boards that extend forward past the apron (more work surface area). Some do have a large enough apron. If you’re...

    Marketing to Women

    I believe I’d stay away from “gender-specific” advertising. You can target a demographic without mentioning it. How about “I don’t want to cook day”? You might get away with “Ladies’ night off”. Advertise to the “no cooking, no cleaning” idea rather than something gender-specific. Oddly, I...

    Anyone using these patriotic pizza boxes?

    I wouldn’t use them based upon being overly-ugly AND possibly driving off the portion of customers that don’t believe in God. They seem to be getting more offended at the mere mention (or writing) of the name.

    Bumper Stickers

    I’m afraid that the usage rate on bumper stickers is very low (compared to the amount you’d hand out). Also, the absolute most important property of a bumper sticker is it being something people would even consider putting on their vehicle. Now, if you wrapped it in a pink ribbon, the world...

    Recommendation for prep table/dough retarder?

    I see a few downsides to your requested table. First, you’re bound to get excess flour on the table. You don’t want the screen (assuming you’re using one) to ever get near flour. The marble top is going to be expensive AND heavy.

    Humidity...Help!!!

    bodegahwy: I’m sorry, but I cannot see this as being remotely possible. As the dough proofs, it grows, into the holes in the screen, it expands larger than the hole in the screen and cannot be removed. As to the original question, how about a dehumidifier. If you’re set up like a standard PJs...

    do you have your promotions in line?

    What: I don’t see the sales pitch in this one. He’s asking about promotions, which could be anything like product giveaways, certain specials, etc. For instance, perhaps a “tailgating package” which would include 2 pizzas, 2 breadsticks, a few 2-liters, AND eating devices/utinsils. While this...

    ready to sell

    I think you are over-estimating the value of your equipment. Age and condition have some impact on value, but not as much as I believe you’re asking for it. Naturally, I don’t know what pieces you have, but the price you’re asking seems high for the equipment. Also, the “recent appraisal”, was...

    Door sensor or chime or something for the cashier to WAKEUP!

    Re: Door sensor or chime or something for the cashier to WAK I’m thinking something like a vibrating coaster would be cool. The downside to a “chime” is that customers can hear it and it would “cheapen” the experience IMHO. Of course if the chime is in the back and not audible in the dining...

    32 In a row.

    My “concept” has a small room in the back with a twin bed and a TV. It serves two purposes… entertaining the kids and me getting a nap in when needed/possible. No, my “concept” doesn’t exist except in my head.

    Credit Cards

    bodegahwy: T’was a joke about you being so far behind. MasterCHARGE was changed to MasterCARD back in the 80s I think.

    Mamma Mia! Papa John's raking in the dough online

    Wizzle Wassell: A solid online platform where someone else handles the orders and ships them to you is relatively easy to achieve. Putting forth the hardware to host all of that yourself, with 99.999% uptime is NOT relatively easy. I doubt that PJs uses some “off the shelf” product or...

    trouble w/seating

    big joe pizza 726: Here are a couple of options for tables. First, you can buy ugly crap tables and put a vinyl topper on them that is stapled on the bottom. A paper covering like Macaroni Grill uses would certainly work. If you’re insistant upon nice table tops, check with your local high...

    Post topping

    If veggies on top cause puddling, you can use a paper towel to soak most of it off. The cheese doesn’t stick to the paper towel due to having the fat on top. A deck oven without any impingment will cause more moisture to stay with the pizza than a conveyor with impingment due to the forced air...

    Blodgett question

    George is obviously the expert here. I don’t know the model numbers, but I thought the standard 4x6 (or 3x6) decks used 120k BTUs for pizza. If it’s one of the 3x5 decks, I have to warn against them unless the space is limited. I had some and it’s very difficult to work without that extra foot...
