    Middleby Marshall 350 "failsafe" Error?

    I’m only aware of the 2 blower motors under the openings. We’ve already closed and I’m home with my kids tonight, so I can’t look at it right now, but that sounds like it could be a possible problem. It never reached it’s operating temp today, was about 60 cooler than what it’s supposed to be.

    Middleby Marshall 350 "failsafe" Error?

    I had to replace a dead blower motor yesterday morning and now my oven is warming up very slowly and giving me a “failsafe” error (electronic controls). I assume it has something to do with the blower motor situation, but how do I clear out the error? My manual only talks about the original...

    For those of you with loans on your business

    My loan is 15% of my sales, but I’m buying my building, and will have the “business” part of the loan paid off next year after only 3 years.

    Box Labels Won't Print For Online Orders

    Jeff Ward: No, that’s not it. I’ll probably have to just call in on Monday, although I think it’s something on the Big Holler side of things…which is always fun :cry:

    coupons on menus???

    I’ve had a good response from offering 2 medium 2-topping pizzas at a discount. I’m also a fan of offering a free item with something at regular price. If your breadsticks cost you $1 to make, wouldn’t it make sense to throw them in free with a 16" pizza than just discounting that pizza on it’s...

    Box Labels Won't Print For Online Orders

    When we originally set up our online ordering (Point of Success/Big Holler), box labels would print for online orders. At some point, it just stopped doing it. We didn’t get that many orders, so it wasn’t a big deal, but we’re starting to build up more business through the website and it’s...

    Question about "tender payment later"

    The first one I saw you do, you were the main deal in the email I got. Perhaps this is where the demographics comes in, you were a side deal on the last one I saw you listed for.

    A Good Night To Remember Your Local Women's Shelter

    Hey guys, just wanted to put a bug in your ears. Since tonight is such a big family pizza night, it’s a good time to remember that there are a lot of scared families in women’s shelters about to have a very tough Thanksgiving day. A quick call to your local womens shelter offering to make them...

    Question about "tender payment later"

    I think (sounds like you’re using Point of Success) the person entering the payment passed over a screen where it asks if you want to enter the payment into the till instead of the driver bank. As far as I know, there is no reversing it from there. P.S. Almost bought your Groupon deal today...

    Getting Ready To Start My 2nd Full Cycle With Mail Shark

    What’s the scratch off piece you’re talking about? Is it something you’re having done somewhere else and MS mail it for you? I haven’t heard anything about it.

    Getting Ready To Start My 2nd Full Cycle With Mail Shark

    Just wanted to share my experience from using Mail Shark the past 6 months since they’ve been discussed several times on TT. A quick recap of how I’m using them: 1,000 mailers a week with 10,000 addresses so I’m in each home once every 10 weeks for $299/wk. We started with 11x18 menus with...

    Halloween

    Really not a big deal for me either here, I do maybe 10% more than daily average (this is my 3rd).

    GPS Systems

    PPG2270: I guess I fail to see how the 15 seconds it takes to punch in an address every 4th or 5th delivery slows things down so much. If I’m not positive of the street/area, I more than make that up by not having to slow down looking at house numbers and street signs. It works very well for...

    Steamboat makes headlines.....

    We’re actually thinking about taking a trip to your area with the little ones after the holidays, kind of depends on how the store finishes out the year.

    Delivery Driver Insurance in California

    I would suggest checking with a few independent insurance agencies. My entire coverage for the year (I own my building too) is about 3 months worth of coverage with one of the big guys.

    Taradel

    pizzatime: I think, if I understand the way Taradel (and most print shops) work, is that they’re reserving time on a printing press owned by another company. So, the discounting comes by crushing as much, uninterrupted work in a small block of time. Kind of like if we could get someone to keep...

    GPS Systems

    Registered Guest: Do they take the delivery map with them? I have a guy who has a Goodwill Hunting complex where he just memorizes…right, 2 blocks, left, 7 blocks, right, 3 blocks, left 1 block…etc. I can’t do it.

    GPS Systems

    Registered Guest: No, I have no patience for drivers that think their phone is a proper GPS unit. Just eliminated a guy who used his phone for GPS and refused to use our proper store GPS. He had more “late” deliveries than our entire staff combined in his first 90 days. Registered Guest: My...

    Looking back, what would you of done different?

    Wrong: Putting more effort into my shop than my young family. Buying a failing shop 2 weeks before the big banking crisis of '08. Keep the existing staff that was losing the previous owner a small fortune every month. Spending the first six months without a POS or electronic time clock. Not...
