We get ours through Illinois Casualty Company via our agent. Rates are based on percent of revenue as delivery. Of course monitoring MVR of drivers on policy helps. Not cheap. But better than not being covered. Also have a business umbrella. Call several agents. If you are getting all the info...

I don’t know where they got $1750 for own car insurance but it sure isn’t what I’d pay to replace HNOA. Non owned is based on percent of revenue that is delivery. On commercial for the two autos I own every time I add a driver it bumps my premium (progressive). In my case just two owned vehicles...

I’ve read the green bags help keep it fresh longer. If I buy anything from a cooler it stays in a cooler. All fresh greens go in the cooler or under the table. Some shops also turn it to pesto if it is getting close to being unusable. I’ve played with it a few times but for a delivery and...

I really like the idea about only online customers being in the loyalty program! Will probably steal that.

We recently installed pizzacloud. So far very happy with install and system. We are in a ski town (very seasonal) and I am intrigued by possibly using a call center to answer our phones this winter. I think having 2-3 in a center on our busy nights for 2-4 peak hours would really free up our...

@Gordon Johnson Having owned and founded a couple companies you often form your LLC or S corp for your businesses before you have an office address. First form legal entity then go get investor money then go get office. In the IT and/or cloud world is likely a lot more common than the industry I...

Box topppers, word of mouth, facebook ads. It’s tough right now. We just went through our busy season pretty understaffed. I don’t work in the store regularly but ended up cooking and delivering pizzas several busy nights. I have another business I work full time in as well. I didn’t get...

I bought Bodegehwy’s last store and real estate. Had a screw loose. Still do. Wife and I wanted to move to Steamboat for several years. Saved our money from our corporate jobs for about 12 years and then made the leap. Still consulting in the old line of work and keeping managers running the...

I feel your pain. I strongly suggest trying instagram if you want to target a younger crowd. FB seems to have turned into a cesspool of bitterness. I’d get rid of the account completely if I could figure out how to without losing instagram. The instagram posts we’ve been boosting seem to get...

The only way for any real push back would basically be if a large portion ie over 50% of small businesses stopped accepting all plastic for a period. The big guys like amazon, wallmart, costco already have some negotiating power to get their own sweetheart deals so they won’t do much. Kroger...

I have no problem replying to comments about high prices. Most of the people complaining about prices are the same people that want me to pay cooks $15 an hour. I have what people consider high prices. I think we have good pizza. We sell it for what can to keep our store open. When people...

I don’t like texting as a consumer so I don’t do it to my customers. I want texts from friends, family and my managers. Not sales pitches. Anyone that texts me a coupon or offer gets blocked. Agree with Mondo, if they sign up for email I use that. Looking at a loyalty program through our POS. I...

2 Slices and a can of soda for $6. We drop it to $5 in slow season.

Free Handed them, posted a few pics online and sold about a dozen. Busy night. Just used a cutter.

Good info here. I spoke to a sales rep. For me at a current $300/month bill with equipment charges and figuring I self install it looks like 11 months to break even and then start saving money based on the monthly fee. That isn’t taking into account pushing customers to online ordering, the...

Go buy a burger or burrito meal from one of the fast casuals like smash burger or chipotle. That would be my target customer. Heck a#1 large sized from any of the fast food joints is going to go over $10 a lot of times. If it costs $3 to make sell it for $9 or so. Also agree about going 9" for...

Did I really need to tell an employee that he can’t post on shop social media pages with a handle of “hail_satan…”? My fear is that if someone actually thinks that is ok there is no helping them.

A friend of mine owns right coast pizza in wheat ridge. Not far from Lakewood. If you stop in ask for Mark or Dana. Good atmosphere, great food and beer list. Good lunch specials. Pizza Colore in Denver used to be good. I haven’t been there in a few years. They had a good breakfast pizza I used...

I agree. They have been the most proficient part of this process when it comes to vendors. They treat you like a customer, reply promptly, and answer the phone. Michael A has been top notch. They also did not ask for direct access to my bank account and to sign away my children for a chance to...
