Nick, We use Point of Success and I have it set up to limit certain items on particular offers, but it isn’t 100% foolproof, unless I have it set up wrong. I like the idea about positive reinforcement. Might have to try that one! Sara

I would appreciate some help here. We have discounts and coupon specials that we offer such as “Free appetizer with purchase of x-large pizza”, “Buy one pizza, get the second one 1/2 off”, etc. Each of the discounts have certain restrictions such as free appetizer does not include the Combo...

To all of you using Point of Success… Is there an existing report that shows the detail of a voided order? For example, if an order is entered in and the customer never shows up, we void the ticket. Can I see the detail of that voided order somewhere? I’m thinking there should be a way, but I...

Well, of course, here in the home of Anheuser-Busch, we definitely have to say Bud, Bud Light, and Bud Select! But I would have to agree with the others, that it is probably a very regional thing.

Verryyy sloooowww… Last week was one of our worst weeks ever…and of course it had to fall right before payroll taxes were due! :cry: After seeing that paul7979 had a $7200 day I figured I was the only one struggling… So at least I feel a little better… Once again, the Think Tank provides...

MM: MM, What kind of response do you get from these doorhangers? I have thought about doing doorhangers with the doorknob slot, but I was afraid the response would be small if it did not have the menu on it. We have our menu online, but I was just wondering if the response would be as good...

NY Pizza: NY Pizza, I really like that idea. I have been struggling back and forth about how to set down some rules, so this seems like a nice way to do it. Thanks for the idea! Sara

I am. A software change must have gone in today that has a slight bug in it!

paul7979: This is how we do it too. We are located in a shopping center that has a movie theater, ice cream place, TGIFridays, bar, etc. It is a big teen hang-out on Fridays and Saturdays, along with the adult crowd. On those nights, there are cops whose only area to cover is our plaza. So, yes...

Wow, this is why I read the forum every day! I realize I am not alone when I encounter problems. This is how our past three weeks have gone: pizza prep table died (bought a new one), air conditioner failed during 100+ degree week of heat wave (cost $700+ to get it fixed), lost seven employees...

Gpizza92: bodegahwy: I had never thought of it this way. Thanks guys! We have had some checks bounce recently and it has been frustrating, but in that same time frame we have accepted many good checks which, if those customers would not have been able to write them they would have either not...

j_r0kk, That boxtopper looks nice. Just out of curiosity, and a bit off topic of this thread, but which of those offers seems to work the best for you? We have offers very similar to your first two coupons and they seem to work very well for us. Can you let me know? Thanks! Sara

Hey Nick, Just wanted you to know that I think of you now every time I see one of those U-shaped bag closures! We have them on all of the bags of bread we get from the bakery. The bags have six rolls each, so we go through a lot of bags, thus a lot of little U-shaped pieces. So, Nick, you are...

Hello everyone, Just thought I would share a marketing idea I just saw in an issue of “Cooking for Profit”. It is a magazine that we receive, compliments of our local gas company, but it is based out of Wisconsin, so maybe some of you receive it also. Anyway, they suggested creating a postcard...

j_r0kk: Yeah, we will be closed on the 4th too. And, maybe some of you would disagree with us, but we close on Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter (along with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Memorial Day, and Labor Day). We are family owned and operated…everyone has their family they want to spend...

Same with us! We had a really slow weekend, but then yesterday was great (felt like a Friday for us too!). What we are guessing here is that our weekend was slower because everyone was going to graduation parties and school/church picnics. Then, when the weekend was over, they figured that since...

wa dave: Dave, When you say “we did it hard at first”, how long ago was that? I’m always interested to know how long it takes for people to get to the level you are. Thanks! Sara

Anyone use it? I received their information in the mail, but I’m not sure if it is worth sending away for or not. His material contains a lot of testimonials from happy customers, but you know how that goes, you’re never sure what you can believe. Any of you have a testimonial that I could...

j_r0kk, Would you be able to send me a copy of what you are coming up with? I do everything in Microsoft Publisher (it is my favorite software!) I’m thinking your idea would work great for us because the name of our place is The Neighborhood Pizza Parlor. So we are always looking for ways to...

Just having one of those days and so I was looking for some encouraging words from this great pizza community that I am part of. Weekend sales were not as great as I had hoped for, just got done writing checks for quarterly taxes and sales tax, need to pay the rent, thinking about other bills I...
