My oven is an electric double stacked deck oven dated 1952! (This was part of the building purchase deal) Ummm I am not even sure of the make right at this moment (I am not at the same bldg as the oven right now) Through trial test runs I find that the cheese was cooking and browning really...

Yes, I know… If it sounds too good to be true… it usually is. I will check it out next time they have it but I will NOT buy it if is not the real thing. Things like that can happen. There are alot of wholesale type places in Winnipeg that just get a TON of stuff in and sell it quickly at rock...

Well, maybe you can help me with this… It drives me absolutely crazy when pizza prices are something like this; large “combo” - Pep, mush, green peppers, onions & tomato - $18.00 BUT… if someone buys a large “5” topping pizza they pay (this is an example of course) $14.50 - now add $1.50 per...

Hi there, I am in Canada though. Seems our cheese prices are WAY above the U.S. I just got a “tip” from one of the other business owners in my town though. There is a place in the City that has shreeded pizza cheese (Mozza) for an incredible price of around $1.35 a lb. Now, the problem there is...

Yes, too true! dog eat dog, that’s the hardest part of business for me. You should hear me apologising to people when they have late fees!! LOL!! The person who wants to do the coupon with me is constantly giving me inside tips of where to get what and how to save money etc… so I’m feeling a...

Yes, thats right, I am about 30-40 minutes North of Winnipeg. Absolutely stop in if you are out here. I have big competition in this small town namely Chicken Chef. I think they make awesome pizza but they are pricey so I am going to market the angle of “Because there is no dine in or delivery...

Hi Royce, Thats great!! My video store is RIGHT BESIDE the post office and I did not know how many mail boxes were there! Thanks! I guess what I am doing is “low balling” my prospective customers so that I can go into this without huge expectations. I have a customer base of around 850 at the...

Sorry, I’m new - the reason I replied to this subject is that I am going to try being open for basically just the weekends. Thurs 4-9, Fri 4-12, Sat 4-12, Sun 4-9. I currently have a video store that I can not staff on Mon, Tues and Weds. Therefor I don’t really have a choice. Small towns are...

Hey Nick, you are not alone! I am opening up my place knowing that I will be lucky to have a customer base somewhere around ummm maybe 400. Not saying that is your numbers but saying that I too live in a very rural small town. I need all of these potential customers to order at least once a...

Well, I must say thank you very much j_r0kk. To make a long story short(er) I am opening up my take-out only pizza place hopefully by August and I was having alot of difficulties with the whole cheese portion thing during my “trial” pizza making. I was a free thrower until I tried the whole...

Thanks Daddio, being really new to this business I have tried to do alot of comparison shopping. I will keep trying cause every cent counts. Through Think Tank I have heard that Mozza/Provolone seems to be one of the best tasts around but when I went in search of Provolone all I could find was a...
