all caps-lock-battling aside, i think red barn has a good point…advertising on tv may make more sense if you have multiple locations…then again, TV advertising is “image” advertising, so you’ll have a tough time measuring response rates to tell if its helping or not PIZZA1DUDE:

i have mine done full color thru gotprint.com . i know there’s other companies that offer about the same price, but i use them since they are closer to me than other print shops (geographically), so my shipping is lower than if i used a shop in florida. if you have alot done up at once, the...

no problem, hope it didnt mess up your sunday too bad 😦 Anonymous:

j_r0kk: hey j, i tried sending a PM but i dont think it made it over to you, but thats ok. well, we did have a dip in business, but it was only about 15%…turns out they arent marketing so agressively for some reason. an example, i’ve only come across one mailpiece they’ve sent out (oversized...

wow, i am surprised that you would say soething like that having zero knowledge of how this distributor has been treating us over the years. lets see, we used to get our pizza boxes thru the ‘little guy’, but he kept sending us bundles that looked like he ran the forks of a fork lift thru them...

thats awesome news paul, thanks for the tip. if i can keep from having to adjust my spice pack, that would be great paul7979:

yeah, i hear ya otis. i’m only bitter about the whole thing because its completely inconsistent with the message they are always pumping out about how they’re committed to their customers and all the rest of what now amounts to lip service. when it comes down to it, our family has spent at least...

yep, i reminded the regional sales rep of all those things when i had my chat with her earlier this week. to make a long story short, we use 2 distributors to get our supplies for our shop. one is US foods and the other is a smaller “one man show” type of company. we get the majority of our...

yeah, we hate to switch. our family has been using the sapporito for over 25 years, and they dont really care if we change to something else or not. its a shame they choose to run their business that way

hey guys, i’m in th process of setting up with them for some fundraiser cards the price i was quoted was 1000 = .89/each 2500 = .53/each they do layout work too if you dont wanna mess with it. -tyson

the back panel engages a kill switch when installed properly. might wanna check that you didnt bolt the cover on upside down, as i’ve seen that cause the kill switch from being engaged properly

funny this topic would come up at a time like this, but i’m in the middle of a change over as we speak from stanisalus to escalon. we currently use stanislaus sapporito super heavy, but due to stanislaus’ unwillingness to allow us to continue to purchase their product thru a different...

hey, just wanted to get some thoughts on folks about whether you plan to be open on easter sunday or will close. those who stay open, are you very busy? thanks!

Scott, My pricing structure is more around $2.80pp for pizza and about $2.10pp for salad…i try ti always sell them together though to arrive at a figure thats near $5pp. up until now i’ve just let the customers pick the pizza types they want for their catering, and most get a few 1 tops and...

i’m having some trouble getting my catering setup as well, but it mostly centers around how to break the price down to something easier for the customer to understand. point being, i’ve sold a few catering jobs so far and keep running into the same problem…they’ll say ok, i need to feed 25...

was hoping to hear something back from j_rokk

just wanted to drop back in and give an update. PJ’s is about a week away from their opening now. i dont understand this guy really…he went doorhanging about a week ago…mind you, they’re not open yet and the phone number listed on the doorahangers just rings with no PBX answer or anything...

thanks for all that info tommie, its good to hear it straight from someone that’s done it before. i don’t think he’s made any approaches towards my drivers…i’ve got a pretty tight nit group of staff, and i think they would have told me if they were trying to be headhunted…however, there’s...

forgot to add a funny tidbit…i did some sleuthing and found out the name of the guy thats opening the PJ’s in my town…did a little check on the secretary of state’s website to get an address and such…turns out he’s ordered from us 5 times in the last month…haha i think more than once or twice...

thanks for the tips j_r0kk, i’m not sweating it too much…i just want to get them out of their comfort zone as much as i can so they have to re-maneuver themselves. for instance, i just checked out pizzakeycards.com and it looks like its their standard thing to get their ads onto the local...
