    Fountain install . . . floor drains?

    Yup. You will be glad that you have a drain as close to the unit as possible, it gets completely disgusting and can easily back up even if it is right there. The amount of mold and crud that accumulates is alarming, even if you keep on top of it. I would not want to use a drain line of any...

    Little Ceasars

    I think it depends on a few things. First if it is a newer store or an older store -If it is an older store they probably are company owned and are using older equipment and the general condition would be lesser compared to a newer location (franchise or non) Is the store is a franchisee or a...

    sugar cookies!!

    To me if you are going to make cookies and want to use a conveyor oven, dont force the temperature setting, rather if you have a double stack use the lower unit, or if you have a single then do the cookie “cooking” before open at the PROPER temp. The problem with cookie dough and high temp is...

    What kind of oil lasts the longest for the $ in deep fryers?

    Re: What kind of oil lasts the longest for the $ in deep fry The best way to break it up is to get a long knife, if you have two fryers, dip the knife into the hot oil and slice off pieces a bit at a time. Also, if you have three fryers, put the box on a close lid fryer, cut the box down on one...

    Fry Cutters

    The second NEMCO unit without blinking an eye. The durability and quality of the overall product is worth the extra price, plus you can get different blades to cut other items like diced onions and peppers for pizzas. The first one isnt bad but being able to vertically mount the unit speeds...

    Little Caesars

    You havent tried their franchisees using an XLT. It makes a great looking and tasting product. People think of the corporate 20 yr old stores with their cruddy looking inside, old equipment and worn out employees. Their franchisees are doing a much better job and the new layout and equipment...

    Little Caesars

    I think their cheese portion is higher than 5 oz. They dont downsize the cheese portion for hot and ready versus non. The places around me doing stellar business and the new stores are equipped with those high end ovens George discusses all the time and the product is very good and they can...

    old dough !

    Ive never had success with this because the dough you are scrapping has already been through the mixing process and has proofed and is older, so you are mixing older proofed dough with new dough and I just never liked doing that. I would rather use older dough for something else like bread...

    What kind of oil lasts the longest for the $ in deep fryers?

    Re: What kind of oil lasts the longest for the $ in deep fry pizzamancer, Tell me this, where is the thermostat for your fryer located? Is it near the top of the fryer or the bottom of the fryer? If you have two fryers, three, four, whatever…next time you have the two that are ready to dump...

    What kind of oil lasts the longest for the $ in deep fryers?

    Re: What kind of oil lasts the longest for the $ in deep fry pizzamancer, Actually my comment about black oil comes from experience. I was a GM for one of the top 3 burger chains for nearly ten years and things did cook quicker when the oil was breaking down…it ran HOTTER than oil that had...

    What kind of oil lasts the longest for the $ in deep fryers?

    Re: What kind of oil lasts the longest for the $ in deep fry You can find filters which dont need to be connected to the fryer itself, but I havent seen too many fryers that dont have a drain, which is how you hook up a filter. Waiting until the oil starts to smoke is way too long, it is...

    This would make a great delivery vehicle!

    Side comment, Shakey’s pizza is horrible, just an overpriced horrible pizza. Anyone see that LC’s is going to sponsor the Motor City Bowl? :shock:

    looking to buy existing pizzeria?

    I dont see how there will be any profit given those sales and general costs of operation. 200k is less than most here do and I am sure most wont make 50k, that would be a 25% bottom line return. I bet that the “partnership” is running the place, there is little marketing going on, no debt...

    What do you think of this crazy idea?

    I might consider this angle… Whatever PREMIUM pizza is voted most popular that MONTH, if a customer ordered that pizza the month it was most popular, their next order gets 2 bucks off that month with proof of past purchase (reciept, or just POS recognition), only good for the month of the...

    Has anyone ever done a food bank drive?

    Yes several years ago and it can be a nightmare if not managed correctly. Keeping the canned goods out of the way from business can be interesting and the pilfering can be an issue too. That said it can be a very big promotional tool and boost sales, and do a nice thing at the same time.

    Desserts

    Ive mentioned my thoughts in the past about this. I dont see the value in using a pizza oven if you are really trying to make desserts and sell them on their own. If you want to give something away as a sweetener on a combo deal or sell the occasional apple/cherry sticks I guess it is ok. If...

    Problem with Dough Sheeter and/or employees

    From my experience with a sheeter, problems usually come from having the rollers CLEAN and the unit maintained. How often does your team unscrew the front and back and actually detail clean? Having something tearing holes to me would point to what others are saying, buildup issues. One other...

    brixing my soda fountain

    You can get a mix tester easy, probably on Ebay for cheap…then research what the ratio should be and confirm. Ive heard some reps say if you mess with the screws (the mix ratio is just a screw which can be turned) then you can void your agreement or equipment blah blah…and most put cute little...

    RedBox DVD Boxes...food for thought

    Search a little more. You can find boxes to buy outright, or companies that will revenue share. RedBox is not who you want to do this with, they call all the shots and that is not how you enter an agreement like this. I researched and found several operations that will either share or that...

    Party Room Progress

    Very impressive look and a clean sharp store if I might say. On the subject though, I am not sure you can really gain large value in just making it a room with some tables and a flat screen, maybe you could do one of these sort of things… Make it accessible for business meetings, that means...
