Do you have a nice four color menu? If so, instead of a coupon you might consider having them do a menu insert 2-3 times over the next 3-4 months to get your product pictures in front of people and increase top of mind awareness of your brand. You could include a coupon on the menu if you feel...

Quite simply, Yes i do deliver! but given the choice to go back in time, I would never start. ALL HEADACHES COME FROM DELIVERY!

re: The Eisenhower comment it is not about the talking, it is about the professionalism and skills of your pizza makers! Bad cooks can not talk and perform their duties @ the same time. If they do not care about their performance silence will not help! the only sollution is better employees NOT...

Does anyone have a preferance of one over the other? I am talking about the local Small town shoper newspaper type that goes to everyhome. I can drop menus in these for a rate of $50/1000 as aposed to bulk mail pricing. any thoughts?

Re: Why does this week s**k? My theory in my area is all the above reasons, plus it is deer hunting season and day light savings really throws peoples internal clocks all to hell. It almost always bounces back in a week or two! 6 years now.

I dream about dropping delivery every minute of every day…ahhh…I just do not have the Dough balls to do it! let me know how you do it, if you figure it out!

Think LONG AND HARD about it!!.. If you are doing well with out delivery, boy-oh-boy WHY WHY take on the headaches of drivers and loss of product control associated with delivery. It will impact your take-out sales and increase your costs, Driver wages/Insurance/ increased coverage of driver...

Ed Debevicks (sp) In Chicago is renouned for their RUDE servers! At some point there is a difference between bad service and “SCHTICK”. Although I do not believe that their servers would be unable to provide top notch service in most upscale dining situations, it is expected in that situation...

Thanks everyone, I do believe you have all helped clarify, that prices indeed do need to be on t/o menus.

I am driving myself NUTS with this question. I am raising my prices after 4 years. I will be doing this annually from now on if not bi-annually. I do not go through more than 800 menus a year(alot of regulars who know what they are getting and do not seem to be concerned too much with price) I...

I mean, just that $200 a month with the little information they give you up front. not that $200/month is HUGE, but it is a real expense with little information as to how well it can work! Most of my mktg. is stealth and social media, but this defintly fits in with stealth marketing. the...

I have been using them for about 2 years, It is a Kamron Karrington company! The dollar amount is scary from the outside, but would not give it up now for anything! IT WORKS!!! but it does take discipline in your staff and it takes time to build! if you are on the edge probably not for you, if...
