Got a couple more videos up on youtube. -J_r0kk

Up, The dough profile is a little rough until you get the recipe down. I can remember beginnings where there would be “spiderwebs” everywhere in the pizzas as if the wheat just didn’t want to hold shape. That was just the stretching. Then, with the slapping, we had the same problems again with...

Paul, Here ya go: http://66.155.31.240/expocad/vr2/shows/ … start.html -J_r0kk

I’m in the minority: Hand tossed wheat: 10", 12", 14", 16" Hand tossed white: 10", 12", 14", 16" Thin wheat (different recipe): 10", 12", 14", 16" Thin White (one size smaller and roll it out): 10", 12", 14", 16" And yes, we make our dough at the store. -J_r0kk

Bobes, I’d like to make a little correction. Although the advice is good, the numbers are off. You wrote: It’s actually $17.45 / household in monthly pizza consumption. With that being said, I’d like to adjust the numbers if you don’t mind: 25,000 addresses x $17.45 = $436,250.00 in potential...

Nick, That’s awesome to hear. Do me a favor and send me a copy of your menu. Check your PM for addy. Thanks Nick. -J_r0kk

Nick, Sorry… I was mistaken. I didn’t realize you were quoting a price for a touch screen. However, with that in mind, why are you spending precious funds on something that’s really not necessary with Point of Success? I figured you’d spend the bulk of your excess funds just trying to get the...

Nick, You don’t need anything that extravagant. All you need is a decent office computer (one with a 2.4gHz or higher processor, 60 GB hard drive, and at least 530 Mb of RAM), some cheap slave computers (3) that you can get off the internet for $80 each (here’s a couple sites...

I know a few of you use the Point of Success program. This program apparently has the capability of storing billing information for customers, though I’ve never used the function. However, I am curious as to how it works. If anyone can give me a little step by step demo on how to use it I would...

Duggy, it’s come to my attention that some people (competitors) close to me and my stores have discovered this site and my postings. So, I’ll tell you when we open the day we open, fair enough? -J_r0kk

fatpapaj, Here are some great ideas to getting volume up in your store. The biggest factor affecting the success or demise of an advertising idea is planning and follow-up. If you can plan a great advertising activity and follow up to make sure it’s done to your specifications, there should be...

Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys… duggy1983 wrote: Actually, I think I confused you. I said we were going to try to set record ourselves in this town, meaning we were going to try to break the “Wheat State Pizza” opening week sales record… not the Papa John’s opening week sales...

pizzabarntn, That has got to be the most original pizza shop idea I’ve ever seen. Personally, I’ve never had an original idea in my life so kudos to you. I’m glad to see you up and running and hope business starts kicking for you guys over there. Congratulations again. -J_r0kk

I got an Epson TM-T88IV printer for the driver dispatch station. I got a Zebra LP2844 barcode printer, both from eBay. Epson TM-T88IV…$220 Zebra LP2844…$120 -J_r0kk

Domino’s Pizza took food stamps in some of it’s inner city stores in Jackson, MS if I’m not mistaken a decade or so ago. They had to get permission from the franchisee and franchisor before they could pursue this route but got it approved. Of course, with food stamps, the pizza cannot be cooked...

I use a 60 quart in my shop but the recipe we use never fills the bowl. Another one of our shops opened about a month ago and they started with a 30 quart. They’ve got the same recipe and the mixer does the job, although the ingredients are dangerously close to the top. So Nick, I guess I would...

This seems like a gooood way to get some free advertising. Remember, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. I’d definitely cool off about the whole thing, but go into this upcoming conversation giving them the idea you’re pretty hacked off so you can capitalize on their screw up. Then, after you’ve...

Nah, I’ll sign 'em free with a $5k donation to my favorite charity…“The J_r0kk Home Improvement Fund”. But seriously, what’s in there is no different from what’s in here. The only difference is now I can’t go back and edit if I wanted to, and now people know my name. grrrrr. -J_r0kk

UP23, I don’t think it’s necessarily the temperatures that are keeping your sales lower. I think you’re in the right ballpark, but what you should truly be looking at is the big round thing that creates the hotter temperatures. That’s right, the sun. I’m sure temperatures affect business a...

Yeah… 14" = Large
