Derek, Congrats on the strong sales. Y O U D A M A N ! ! Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, the other guys are right. You are going through your “honeymoon period” at your store. Sales are going to be fantastic for the next couple weeks. Don’t, however, under any circumstances fool...

Dayum Ali, That’s a smokin’ hot order right there. Good job. Sometimes being nice does pay. -J_r0kk

Wizzle Wassell, Here ya go: http://www.geocities.com/j_r0kk/Boxtopper-withproductshotupdated.jpg -J_r0kk

I’ll be signing autographs in aisle 3 of the swiss bank that holds funds on the royalty payments you guys have been sending me. LOL. Thanks guys. -J_r0kk

Crusher, I put boxtoppers on EVERY box. We unwrap the plastic from the bundle and place the boxes on a counter. We then fold the boxes upward (along the crease in the middle) until we’re holding all 50, using our thumb for support. We then drop one box at a time, gluing and boxtopping each box...

I’ll reiterate: Food $ / Net Sales as a percent. Example: Food $ = $300 Net Sales = $1,000 $300 / $1000 = 30% -J_r0kk

Fat Boy, One thing I’ve always found is if I put out an ad for a manager, I get a good assistant. If I put out an ad for an assistant manager, I get a good shift runner/driver. You never seem to get exactly what level you seek. Maybe put out an ad for an area manager? You might then get good...

Good post Dave. Could you imagine how much you would do if just one of those places closes down? I mean, you never want to see that happen but it sounds like that’s more of a possibility than them being able to sell, re-sign the lease, etc. Hang tough down there brotha. Sounds like you’ve got...

LOL Nick. Sorry, I’m burning the candle at both ends right now. But you’re right, so Tony: Y O U D A M A N ! ! -J_r0kk

Oh lawd. I’m sure that mural had 'em running for the hills. Congrats on the comeback party. -J_r0kk

Tony, Good job brotha. I’m proud of you. My only suggestion is to not be satisfied with your result (as hard as that may be) and keep pounding away. Challenge yourself each and every day. I know it’s monotonous and tough, but you’ll be patting yourself on the back all the way to the bank in...

Back in the day… and I mean wayyy back, there was a Domino’s Pizza store in Denham Springs, La. The store averaged between $10k-$12k/wk. The manager over there decided to sell pizzas (not slices, but actual pizzas) in the Wal-Mart parking lot out of a concession trailer owned by Domino’s with...

SLICE, My concept is to start small and work your way into it. It’s like building something. You start with a little bit until you’ve generated enough money to acquire another piece. Once those two have become successful, you generate enough money to acquire another piece, and so on. I do the...

pizzapirate, You don’t need a $15,000 grease interceptor. I just ran into the same problem over here in Podunkhickville, Kansas (aka Salina). I blew a gasket when they told me $15k for an in-ground grease interceptor. They then informed me there was a grease trap called the “Big Dipper”. It’s...

I’ve tossed and I’ve turned with this issue. The answer lies in my marketing philosophy: Try to reach as many demographic profiles as possible each and every time you advertise. So my answer to accepting checks is a simple one: yes I do. I’m not going to disregard a percentage of my customer...

I agree this is a good promotion. However, this promotion is apparently being pushed by a store manager of a Papa John’s store. While he is aggressive in trying to create response and new customers with this offer, he is obviously doing this in an attempt to increase his store sales. If I know...

pizzagirl, What kind of bid is the school board conducting? Here, we had a sealed bid process where they sent me the form, I wrote the price per pizza, and then I mailed it back to them. It was pretty plain and simple and took all of 5 minutes to complete. -J_r0kk

SaraH, They all work well because they cover each demographic profile in my area. The newest offer on this boxtopper is the “Crazy 8’s” special. I did this because of the Papa John’s intrusion. Every time PJ’s goes into a market, they offer a Large one topping for $8.99 to raise customer...

Crusher, It’s the law. You’ve got to prove your employees are legally eligible to work in the United States. To do this you must have an I-9 for every employee. You can get a 50-pack at Staples for like $8 if I’m not mistaken. But, get it done… quick. I know fines are administered if you don’t...
