Re: Lawsuit Against Domino’s for Failing to Reimburse Driver dman66: The biggest mistake the executives made where letting the unions get a foot hold all those years ago. This is where unions greatest ability to destroy a business lay - in a weak economy. Unions base all their demands and...

Re: Lawsuit Against Domino’s for Failing to Reimburse Driver gregster: Hmmm… “Terrible things that “will” result if the company unionizes”… Did anyone tell this to the American auto industry?..

Re: Lawsuit Against Domino’s for Failing to Reimburse Driver Right or wrong, agree or disagree if this case succeeds and if it sets a precedent, the result will be bad for the drivers. For example - if the local pizzeria charges a $1.50 delivery charge and pays their drivers $1.00 per...

While I do have my CCW license myself and encourage others to obtain theirs as well, and as much as I hate to say it - I think allowing drivers to carry is not the best idea - at least here in Ohio. We have too many restrictions on where you may carry, such as 1000 ft within a school zone...

Easygoer13: The models from 15-20 years ago required that you move the pies around, but not the new ones. There is a slight difference between the temps of the shelves but not that much. I can cook just about any pizza on any shelf and get the same results. And as far as volume goes, I run...

Take a look at Rotoflex. Very hi capacity and no spinning…am very happy with mine.

Re: The response… steveo922: +1 I had a hard time giving them away. They were horrible, a total waste.

In general the drivers who have the most experience make the call, but the store manager has the final say and then I as the owner have the final say on top of that. If there is any conflict between what the drivers feel and what the manager feels then I will go and check the roads myself, and...

That is the same exact oven that I have. It is definitely an attention getter, the customers are amazed at it. It is such a rare oven in our area the newspaper even did an article on it. We switched over to wooden peels after we mangled the first metal one. The wooden ones snap in half when...

Take a look at the Rotoflex brick ovens. I pulled my triple stack of XLT conveyor ovens back in November and replaced them with a single Rotoflex brick oven. I still have every bit of capacity on a busy Friday night that I did with the conveyors, 100 pies per hour is no problem at all. We have...

LoneStar: You see - I don’t want to build my business the way the chains have. I dislike everything about them. I have chosen to build my business by other means. I agree that if my drivers are giving great service then I do hope they are getting great tips - in that regard. I just have a...

gregster: Profit margin = jobs. As long as the driver is getting a good wage and fair compensation for mileage, I could really care less about them getting tips. I think the whole idea of tipping is totally absurd. I have never liked it as I don’t think I should have to pay that “hidden...

Look into a HDHP coupled with an Health Savings Account. This is what I have and offer to my employees. For a single person it is a $2000 deductible / family $4000 and all cash that goes through your HSA is tax free and it can be used for over the counter medications, dental vision and so forth...

Here are a few bits of advice from all of my experiences and pitfalls over the last 12 years - Don’t even think about delivery without the proper non-owned auto insurance to cover your drivers. One accident could cost you everything. $2000 for delivery insurance is dirt cheap. Conklin insurance...

Piper: AMEN! - I don’t offer it at my second location and would love to get rid of it at my primary store. If I ever open another store it will be strictly dine-in and carryout only. Piper: Funny thing is that if all the independents banded together and stopped delivery killing jobs - we...

Here is my whole take on the matter… I was a delivery driver for one of the big 3 for nearly 4 years, I now own my own store and have done so for 12 years. I have walked in the delivery drivers shoes and in the owners shoes. I think it is very important to give your drivers a decent...

We pre buy all of our propane in the summer, we do this for the heat at our business as well as the heat for our home. It typically saves us about $1 per gallon over the market rates during the peak seasons. Not sure of this is something you can take a look at or not. We paid $2.59 per gallon in...

To get a good grasp of who this poster is - visit http://www.tipthepizzaguy.com Visit the discussion board. He is a major contributor there. Maybe we can all go there and post statistics on how bad unions are and how they destroy business, employees, and our economy in general. I wonder how...

gapizzaman: We bake them on the mesh screens and slide them off onto the stone for a minute or so at the end.

Here is my opinion and experience in regards to ovens - In store #1 I have used Blodgett, Bakers Pride, Middleby Marshall, XLT and now Rotoflex. I had the Blodgetts & Bakers Pride in my store for about 4 years before switching over to Middleby Marshall and then onto XLTs. After having the...
