We have had recent success with the potato. People love our new BAKED POTATO PIZZA.

Cheese was $1.61 block price on Friday. I paid $1.77 for 6lb blocks of WM Low-Moisture 100% Mozz. Just wondering what everyone else is paying. Saw an invoice for a Dominos Pizza store last week and they were paying about 10% below block price… Wish I had that contract. So happy to see wheat hit...

I use MS, and have found it to be worth every penny. If you think they are expensive try doing it on your own. I did some investigation on the cost of menu’s, cause they were quoting me 14 cents per for a run of ten thousand, and I saw other print houses offering 6.5 cents per… When I brought...

Only a 120 locations? I thought they had over 400. They are known as the poor man’s franchise. However, if you look at there franchise agreement, I see nothing poor about it. Honestly if your interested in the pizza business. My best advice is go work for someone for two maybe three years...

Thats some very good info. I saw the label on a bag of whole wheat today, and the wheat protein or gluten content was 15% which I am sure will make nice bricks. I am wondering have you every made HOP DOUGH. Was thinking of approaching a local brewer and seeing if I could use the leftover...

Tom Lehman suggested I go to the Pizza Today and find a Beer Batter Recipe. I found a really good one over there. I also found a really good WHOLE WHEATE DOUGH RECIPE. I thought to myself it might be tastier if it was a HONEY WHEAT RECIPE. So I wondered how much honey I would need to add to make...

I may be going independent in the upcomming month, and I am trying to duplicate a beer batter dough recipe that my current distributor provides. I have talked to many people some say just replace the water in your dough recipe with beer, other say its 50/50 beer/water ratio, and some other say...

The key to upselling is to sell products (add-ons) that have a minimal labor component. Like a two-liter of pop, or a pint of ice cream, or Dibs, or wings. These are products that don’t take long to add to the order, and produce instant easy profit. For instance. You sell pizza. Let say you...

I would think it would be intelligent for an Independent to have as many online gateways to their restaurant as possible. You should not limit yourself to just one online ordering system. I have a franchise that provides a website, and online ordering for a fee. My online ordering is about 25%...

ONOSYS has a strong platform. I highly suggest you start making the move to internet ordering. My internet order are now 35% of my sales. It reduces the stress in the restaurant on a Friday night when the phone is ringing 1/3 less. My average internet order is also 30% greater than my phone...

THATS WAY COOL!!! I THINK THE LARGEST PARTY ORDER I WORKED ON WAS OUT OF THE REDMOND, WASHINGTON DOMINO’S PIZZA. MICROSOFT ORDERED 6000 PIZZA’S FOR SOME COMPANY-WIDE PICNIC THEY WERE HAVING, IT WAS SUCH A BIG ORDER THAT WE RAN IT OUT OF THREE STORES EACH STORE MADE 2000 PIZZA’S. IT WAS A BUSY...

Its not just location, location, location… If one thing is for certain the price of our food and labor continues to climb, and yet in order to stay competitive its important as an indie to maintain a low overhead, and minimize your fixed costs so that you can compete with the franchises, and...

Cheezy, Peterson Co. out of Auburn, WA carries GRANDE CHEESE, it all we use. I know they delivery up to the border cause I have friends in Bellingham that use them. I imagine you could get it from them if you asked. The more pizzaria’s that use it in the Northwest the better for all of us, cause...

Charlie, I have seen 3.5 times EBITDA used for the last 20 years or so. However, if your business is strong, with little or no competition, you might be able to get as much as 5 times. For instance. $250,000 annual gross, $25,000 EBITDA, Restaurant Value $88,000. $500,000 annual gross...

I have a store population 2500, open Monday through Saturday 11p - 9am, Closed Sundays. Avg. $3500. One Major Competitor, One Other Indie.
