I’m more of a print guy myself but it has definitely captured my interest. If anyone else has personal experience with this, good or bad, please chime in. Thanks, -J_r0kk

Russell, The only thing I know about Garlic Jim’s is what I read in the trade magazines. I hear they’re AWUS is about $14k and they’re expanding quite rapidly. They’re relatively identical to the operation I’m affiliated with. -J_r0kk

Nick, can you tell me where you found this information? Thanks.

Nick, you sure that wasn’t your bank looking for the lein on the casa? I always thought SBA loans up to a certain amount (I think around $200k) were 85% guaranteed with no collateral required, and it’s the evil banker that wants you to sign away your home, firstborn male child, etc. Either way...

My Junction City store is 865 square feet… with seating for 24. Yes, it can be done. My walk-in cooler and dry storage is outside, though. That’s the only drawback. -J_r0kk

LOGO and phone number. It’s all about brand imaging guys. -J_r0kk

Another thing, Daddio, if that didn’t work for you is headhunting. Tell your current drivers to bring in friends, friends of friends, and aquaintances of friends of friends. Once these people work for 30 days, pay your “headhunter” $100 bonus for each new teammember brought in. -J_r0kk

Big Dave, I see your problem with lack of return. Let me help you out here on this one… Instead of “Drivers Wanted” on your boxtopper, you actually create a separate, small half-page boxtopper. This boxtopper is called a “mini-ap”, or mini-application. On it you have them list the same basic...

They’re still hanging around. They’re called TopDogz now. -J_r0kk

Up, I know this won’t work for you but it might for other folks so I’m going to post it: On Monday nights we totally got away from the pizza marketing and advertised $1.00 Longnecks (this is only the domestic beer as others like Mike’s Hard Lemonade, Blue Moon, Boulevard Wheat, and Heineken...

Guest, When I do my payroll I do not include my salary. My payroll percentage is based solely on hourly employees. I goal myself for 18% Labor each week and it works out nicely. -J_r0kk

I’ve seen it around $2.33/pound back in the summer of '93. It might’ve been more. -J_r0kk

Piper, Ya know, I’m not sure. If they do referrals, great. My user name on there is Jr0kk. If they don’t, no problem. Helping you out and saving you money is reward enough. -J_r0kk

I printed boxtoppers. I did the artwork and sent it in to them. They printed and sent it out to me a week later. The boxtoppers are 4.5"x6.5" and really heavy glossy paper. Total was $169 for 5,000 -J_r0kk

I just got my flyers in from www.gotprint.com . I’ve just got one word to say: DAYUM! Seriously, I’m not lying… they’re awesome. They’re high gloss and actually thicker than I would’ve imagined. Anyway, if anyone’s interested in getting boxtoppers printed relatively cheap, there’s a good source...

Whoaaaaa!!! Wait a minute Dave. Let’s clear something up here brotha. What’s this all about: You tryin’ to say we’re fatter? Why ya always gotta be picking on the fat kid? -J_r0kk

What’s the latest and the greatest with the store? -J_r0kk

Another source for obtaining this box would be a used pizza equipment place. That’s where I got mine. It’s 6 ft high and holds about 40 pizzas (that’s a guess). It runs off 110v ac and holds a temp of 180 degrees. $350 used is what I bought it for. -J_r0kk
