Re: R U satisfied with what U have or do you want to open mo I think it was the pact created by the Iroquois, or Haudenosaunee, Also known as the Five Nations, who early on recognized the strength of many, is better than one. You know the old story “its easy to break one arrow in half, but if...

We have power outages in my small towns all the time. I am going to outfit all my stores with enough power to at least run the walk-in, and one oven should the power go out for an extended timespan. Occasionally we have floods, or snowstorms that knock out the power for a week at a time, I...

As I know it… Gross Net Sales minus Total Variable Costs (i.e. Food, Variable Labor, Payroll Taxes, Advertising, Supplies Expense, Delivery Expense, & Donations) equals Contribution Margin. Contribution Margin Minus Fixed Operating Costs (i.e. Rent, Telephone, Electricity, Gas, Garbage, Water...

Ditto Bodegahwy… Its mandatory that ever driver have one in my store…

The price of Cheese is making me ill!!!

I have primarily used Hobarts. You can usually find one for around $1000 to $2000. Look in your City, County, States, or Federal Government Surplus Auction. I have seen several go for under $2000 on these auctions. Secondly, use 32# bags of Flour, adjust your recipe down to match, this will...

Exodus 20:2 ~ 20:17 Spells out the Ten Commandments… #3 if you remember is… Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it holy. For six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a Sabbath (Sunday) to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work ~ you, your son or your daughter...

I am running for City Council in my small town, and will be running for Mayor next year and I view it at a Conflict of Interest. Providing free food in a natural disaster, or an emergency might be acceptable, but giving officer a discount, or even free food is not acceptable. It will create...

It has been a tough year… Increased cost in the Beef Sector due to Mad Cow Disease. Increased cost in the Poultry Sector due to Avian Flue Pandemic. Increased cost in the paper & cardboard market due to reduction in mills, and supply. An increase in Minimum Wage… $5.15 to $5.85 (15% increase)...

I have checked with the so-called czech experts and Klobasy is similiar to the polish sausage, but ethnically different, I guess the Czech tweaked the recipe. I am finding allot of Klobasy, Cabbage(Sauerkraut), and Dumpling recipes, and I have found a couple of pizzaria’s in Prague that serve...

I have a catering event coming up for a Czech Band that is coming to town. They would like to have me make a pizza that is somewhat Czech related. They have suggested using Klobosy Sausage, I am not sure of the spelling. I just wondered if anyone has come up with one before. I already google’d...

Yeah, this seems like a now win situation. I used to be in exactly the same situation. My business partner made about $250,000/yr at his regular job, and looked down upon our business, as this little side venture, I worked for a sub-standard wage for 3 years. We made very little money, because...

Sounds like its time to start another investigation. Call your Congressmen today!!!

Those work too. I have had plenty of $65 Pelouze scales, they work really well, until the get dropped a few times. What I really don’t like about Pelouze, is that about 20 years ago they were built like tanks, now the materials they use, is so flimsy, you drop the darn thing once, and the neck...

If someone asks me that question I will probably say it an 8" Cheese pizza $5.00 I think what people are looking for is a starting point. Kinda like a Auto Purchase Negotiation. Since everyone of us has a different price, the customer is just looking for some kind of baseline. I get allot of...

I use Angel Computer Software. It was created by Robert Hamm about 20 years ago. It is real easy to operate, it is really inexpensive, it cost between $3000 to about $7000 depending on how many terminals you have. Software & Tech support only cost you $30/mo. You might be able to get a used...

the meaning of that quote: was I am in small towns where I am the only guy around. In New York City, you might have two or three competitors in the same block. and another 50 within a 1/4 mile. Granted the population density is greater, but so is an available workforce. Most of my shops are...

Yes, I agree with the others, I worked in the franchise system with Dominos Pizza, and Papa Johns for about 18 years, I have taken what I have learned from them and applied in my own strategy. A franchise is good, in that it provides a well planned map on how to operate, menus, prices, product...

The recipe I have calls for it, but since Tom Lehmann set me straight on it. I am wondering whether it will change my flavor at all, and whether I should just omit the quart of milk, and just add another quart of water. The quart of buttermilk I use accounts for about .25% of my food cost (1/4...
