Roger, Good to hear man. I wouldn’t recommend it if it weren’t first class stuff. Our boxtoppers are now better quality than the big boys. If image is a key indicator (in the customer’s opinion) on how well you’re doing, we “LOOK” like we’re up there with those guys, if not surpassing them...

REDBARN, Did you check your e-mail? -J_r0kk

driggs, If you’ll look at the front page of this forum (the page where you see all the topics posted) you might notice some “stickies” at the top. There’s one that lists FAQ’s. This post is an FAQ and you will find a wealth of “free” information there as there are about 10 subjects discussing...

paul, Goddddd you’re killin’ me. I remember you and I talking about the salt water fishing a couple months ago. I just don’t know. I’ve got a store that’ll be less than a month old when I get there so I’m not sure if I’ll have too much time on my hands. Unfortunately, I think I’m a day-to-day...

And if you want to buy an 8 dip ice cream cabinet let me know. I’m selling mine for $1000. It’s 9 months old and I don’t even think it has its first scratch yet. -J_r0kk

The guys I really feel sorry for are the “barely making a profit pizzeria owners” that provide delivery service. Since delivery is offered, this pizzeria owner must keep extra employees on the schedule and always has more hours to account for vs. pizzeria owners with no delivery service. Here’s...

GT writes: I haven’t seen Micky or Goofy since I was 5 so I figured I’d better pay them another visit since it’s been so long. No, actually I’ve been invited to come down and do a little seminar for folks who have questions about pizza shop operations, or marketing, or opening a shop, etc.

td, You don’t have to worry about it too much up there. Your state doesn’t even have a team does it? :lol: :lol: -J_r0kk P.S. Unless the first name of your team starts with Kansas City, or ends with Chiefs… you don’t count.

Rut Roh paul. I’ll be there.

Minimum wage is increasing for all states on Tuesday. If your state is one that has not issued a mandated minimum wage increase, federal minimum wage of $5.85/hr. goes into effect on Tuesday. Just a reminder. -J_r0kk

Who’s going to the Orlando Pizza Show this year?

Hey guys, Just a reminder that school is closing in quickly. If you haven’t started bidding on school lunch programs you might be missing the boat. I’d advise you get on that as soon as possible. Also, re-acquaint yourselves with your school night contacts from last year and start hashing out...

Can you transfer all of his calls to your number? I’m sure you’ve got to wheel and deal with the former owner, but you might be able to talk into doing something like this… for a fee of course. -J_r0kk

td, Something else you might want to look into, and I’m not sure if you have them out there, are the student planners. We have a company out here that produces these student planners and distributes them to all the students. Inside these planners the distribution company sells advertising...

It kinda reminds me of the old Robert Redford movie, “Brubaker”, where the warden goes in as an inmate and then later announces he’s the head guy in charge. Good stuff there. -J_r0kk

Derek, Congratulations on opening night. I’m sure you’ll find your “PMQ time” will suffer a little. Don’t worry about posting as much as usual, but I’d recommend you still come in from time to time. I wouldn’t want you to miss out on anything you might find important. Good luck. -J_r0kk

td, Take a look at your portioning. If a 16" pizza has an area of 200.96" and a 14" pizza has an area of 153.86" You’ve got this problem: 14" pizza (153.86") / 8 oz. = 19.2325" per ounce of sauce 16" pizza (200.96") / 9 oz. = 22.3289" per ounce of sauce Which means, you’re putting far less...

Cowtown, The star cut-out is much better than the circle cut. I think (and I could be wrong) the circle is cheaper so that’s what most people use. If you can get your hands on star cut I would advise it. The 110# paper is fine. I actually use thinner (100#). The only drawback to the doorhangers...

Tom Lehman seems to think there’s no noticeable difference. In my experience however, I must admit I have seen a difference. It seems as though the electric ovens produce a crisper crust vs. the gas. Also, electric in the long run is more expensive to operate than gas.
