UPDATE It seems that my area is slow to the text message sign up. I currently have 54. I projected 500 hundred by now and if you talk to anyone trying to sell this to you they will say the same—it’s not so easy. I sent a text out tonight from 8pm-11pm It offered a free order of breadfstixs and...

I did multiple dry runs to see how far 10 minutes would take me from my shop. I went north, south east and west and to my suprise, I could get twice as far going north in 10 minutes than sout and east. Do you draw a line within miles or do you look at distance driving? If distance, how many...

I had 3 pizza shops open up this year within a 2 mile radius of my store plus a subway. I was talking to owner of my food vender and he said he has seen this before. When the economy is bad, everyone jumps in the pizza business but only a few make it. The problem is that these newbies give away...

I remember when dominos hit my area hard with locations in the 80’s and they didn’t open till 4pm everyday. competition has pushed the open hours. If you can make a living being closed then close and enjoy your personal life. If your going to be consumed with business on that off day then you...

For us that answer no it’s not the “grass is greener”. I worked for corporate America, was it greener? No! But I can say that the food business steals your life. I’ve owned other businesses and nothing compares to the food business. Think about it, we work when everyone else is relaxing. Our...

It’s politics time and the “flat tax” is being floated again. Basically its a 17% sales tax on all goods and services sold. What say you tt’ers pt

I no longer take personal checks(unless they are a friend of the business). You can’t win with these people that don’t care and write these checks. Gone are the days of “floating”. Every checking account gets a debit card these days - they can use that. I thought I would lose customers by...

I was pounding the pavement with menus today. I noticed more people at home than ever. It was funny seeing the mailman go down the street and all the people coming out to get the mail. Does anyone work anymore? pt

Did you get your situation resolved? pt

I think curb appeal is very important to newer places. With that said, places that have history(20-30+yrs) seem to be able to get away with the curb appeal a new business must have. I have a shop up the street from my house that has been there for 30+ years and has zero curb appeal but are...

Change the name Change the outside colors Change the menu look Have a grand opening special with balloons and signage Have new shirts Sometimes it better to give birth than to raise the dead! pt

Wow! I’m glad nothing happened to anyone(driver claims her back hurt.hmmmmmmmm) Turn this into a positve with a re-opening media blitz. Specials like… The crash a go Everything including the kitchen sink Free breadstixs for those that park outside Ketchup with that? I’m sure others will jump...

Thanks for the response. I think the reason there is only your response is because most places do not have a espresso machine. It seems that espresso/latte drinkers are geared towards the coffee houses. I do have great beans locally roasted and a top of the line machine. I agree with the...

If you serve espresso,lattes,mochas etc… is it worth it? It seems I spend more on keeping my $8,000 machine heated than what it makes. It does give me a upperhand on the competition. What say you? pt

Now that we are being honest, my first shop I owned in the early 90’s has all kinds of stories. One Friday night, I left the deposit bag out in front of the shop on top of the garbage can. I found it Saturday morning :oops: pt

I have carried a couple of notes and have to agree with the above info. In addition, make certain your contract states that if the buyer defaults on said loan, the note excellerates and is due within 7 days. If not paid in full (the complete note) you take over ownership and ALL monies paid by...
