Never tried, but you just gave me a great idea. Jim Beam Bourbon Brined Chicken! It just sort of rolls off the tongue. I have to cook a batch of chicken topping up tomorrow, maybe I should throw a shot or two into the brine.

I run into a lot of people that can not effectively communicate verbally, a skill which is essential when we are busy. Years ago somebody posted an interview question that helps weed these out. “Tell me how to get from here to your house” ( or school or old job or anything they are not expecting...

I have refused to allow key drops. period. never. no way. I have been with the same main supplier for 13 years (although they have changed ownership). Most of the truck drivers we have had have been good conscientious people. But we have also had a few idiots. Once in a blue moon, they have an...

Don’t use them but just wanted to bump your post because I know several folks here do.

The sad part is that we used to look for superstars that could out perform us. Now we just try to find folks that will show up and at least make an effort to make the food right and not take all night to throw together a garden salad.

I would much rather see cash, it is cheaper, quicker and hack proof. I have also never had a chargeback on a twenty dollar bill. In 13 years of business we have had one bogus $10.oo bill. Have you ever wondered how long it will be until the hackers figure out how to reprogram your terminal...

I recall a seminar I went to about 10 or 12 years ago where the presenter, when discussing hiring, said never hire anybody that you would not have over to your house for dinner. I have tried to follow this advice but quite often you need a position filled quickly and relax the standards. The bad...

Pizza in a bag:

I play around with old cars, mostly VW’s. My avatar is VW based kit car from the early 80’s called a Laser917, the body is loosely based on the Porsche 917. I used to deliver in it which was a lot of fun but I would lose a lot of time with people looking at it and asking questions. The last few...

Love it! We are looking like we are going to have the biggest week in about 7 years unless tomorrow night is a dud. Had to close a little early New Years Eve because we ran out of dough and we closed on dayshift New Years day to give the young ones a chance to party and us old ones a chance to...

OMG!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

We have been using bag solutions “Pizza Jackets” as well. They do a great job keeping pizza warm and they have a cute little handle on bottom which turns out to be useful on very windy days. My only complaint with them is that after about a year or so the Velcro starts to give out but that is...

No positive replies? I guess I will solicit some samples and do some testing. If steaming is an issue we can always punch a couple of vent holes and see if that improves it.

Royce, I am thinking of this sort of thing http://www.samsclub.com/sams/insulated-thermalbag/prod8020112.ip?navAction= but with our logo on it. My idea has always been to charge the customer for the bag and that would make them a member of the “Carry Out Club”. Showing up with the bag in hand to...

We were thinking about getting some carry out bags with our logo on them and using them as a marketing tool for our regulars. Every year as the temps go down I get this idea. I have a couple of customers that use the mylar looking bags that Sam’s used to sell and they are very happy with them...

Once I got over freaking out over the fact the thing was leaking, I cleaned everything up really well saw the leak was at the top of the little dome in the bottom center of the bowl. My bowl appears to be made of of carbon steel with a stainless cladding. Instead of welding, I got out the torch...

The bowl on our Hobart H-60 has sprung a leak. I have no idea how old this thing is, the previous owner bought it used about 15 years ago and we have run it hard for 12 years. Do they do weld repairs on these things or do you have to bite the bullet and purchase a new one. If purchasing a new...

Wow, I haven’t dropped in for a couple of weeks and missed all of this. As Steve said, I too got the email and ignored/deleted it because I assumed it was another scam. Not to be too judgmental, but the comments from Websitetoolbox posted by PMQ read a little like an email from an exiled...

Open from 4 to 9 today to catch the dinner rush. So far it has been a mistake. 2.5 hours, 13 orders.

What is taxable under sales tax is a state issue and/or local issue. Our state is really screwed up on sales tax exemptions (medicine is taxed, but certain types of string are not) . We currently do not charge tax on most grocery items, but, ,like most states we do tax prepared food. When I walk...
