The swine flu IS here in Florida. Our pediatrician said EVERY case of the flu that he has treated so far this season is the swine flu. The expectation is that 25 percent or more of the college students will get it. So far the cases are relatively minor. People are dying but most of the...

Charles: You seem a little sensitive there, Charles. I did not imply that a national health care system which may have less choices would be better or worse than the fiasco we currently have. Only that under this administration we may take a step towards socialized medicine. With the way our...

pizza2007: Health insurance? I think there are lots of choices for health insurance. Maybe no GOOD choices but lots of them. I currently have humana. I have previously used blue cross blue shield, mutual of omaha, aetna, golden rule, and 4 or 5 other companies i can’t remember at the moment...

Wow, I don’t even know were to begin. Are you serious? A food distributor is an extremely large investment of capital. Even on a small scale you are probably looking at a 5 million dollar investment minimum. Nearly all products are bought at wholesale and marked up. Some distributors may...

I would take whatever extra cans of product I needed to get rid of to get my ratio back in line and donate them to my local St. Francis house soup kitchen. No aggravation and you can feel good about your “mistake”.

LOTS if them!

The same thing that you have to be wary of in Philly. Criminals with guns.

BlueRay: There s no problem leasing the property. If you have a proper lease, it will remain in effect even if the property is sold or foreclosed on. There is no “book value” for a business. Some would say you should pay 2-3 times annual earnings. This could be higher for an extremely...

When some people calculate their food percentage they base is solely on the amount of food purchased/sales dollars. Make sure you factor in beginning/ending inventory to get an accurate food cost %.

I had the same problem with my XLT ovens. I think the problem may be unique to the 70 inch ovens since I don’t hear guys with the 55 inch ovens complaining. My 70 inch ovens had 2 blower motors. When I switched to Edge ovens the the temp in my store dropped significantly. My Air Conditioner has...

I find after a year or two they need to be thrown away/recycled. The last time I tried to clean them I brought them home and tried the 3500 PSI pressure washer. They got clean but I now have pizza screen imprints in my concrete. They were never quite flat after that either.

Check you toilet also. A toilet that runs can use 1000 gallons or more per day!

Wizzle Wassell: 150 is quite do-able. We do close to this every now don’t forget that side orders have to fit in the oven as well. Maybe a little space for the pie that the customer wants to be ‘well done’. I’m sure there’s a few guys here who do over 150 pie hours maybe even 300 per hour…...

I would also consider a double stack of Edge 60’s. Can be bought in the low 20’s and bake great. They are also one of the quietest conveyor options available.

Integraoligist: If you are baking in 8 minutes during slow times and 15 minutes during busy times you are not baking a consistent pizza. The pizza baked in 15 minutes will have a different look, a different bite and might be much more oily. With a conveyor, every pizza will have a similiar...

PRISM by Microworks! I have used it for more than 10 years and there tech support is second to none. They are competitively priced also.

Instead of telling the customer you don’t offer specials why not offer 2 or 3 specials each night. If your large 1 topping pizza is $12 and your garlic knots are $3.99 you could offer a Large 1 topping with an order of garlic knots for $14.99. Only a $1 discount, Better than throwing them in for...

qcfmike: After reading Chris’s posts, I do not see where he made derogatory or negative comments about his customer. It seemed to me that he tried to graciously make his customer happy. Not all situations end up with happy customers. I don’t think it is right to expect him to refund the...
