I closed down my shop a month ago and still have my POS. It is one year old. If anyone wants it, let me know. I’d like to get $1000 for everything. Hardware Includes: Dell Inspiron 570 17" widescreen monitor (not a touchscreen) Cash Drawer Epson Thermal receipt printer Keyboard and mouse...

I’m actually closing my doors on June 1. I’ve got a 60 QT Anvil I’d sell. It handles 25# batches pretty easily. Only problem is that I’m in Oregon so shipping would need to be figured in.

pizza_garden: +1 Get rid of those tables and go just carry out delivery.

Regarding Yelp, you can try posting an offer on the site. I’ve used “Mention Yelp when ordering to get a free cheesebread.” This is free and will hopefully draw some of the Yelpers into your place. I’m not sure how many Yelpers there are in Emporia but if you can get one in there, they will Yelp...

Well, you can try playing the game of having your friends and family post reviews or at least mark that they “Like” you on Urbanspoon. Don’t be surprised if majority of your friend’s reviews get caught in the Yelp filter though. Also, some customers can be smarter than we give them credit for...

George Mills: Yup. The store I’m in has been going through owners pretty regularly. It was a franchise for about 10 years. A family bought it 2 years before me, changed the name, then sold it to me. They sold it to me with the contingency that I change the name (since it was named after their...

So, things haven’t been going well since I opened and the truth is, they probably won’t for a long time (if ever). I already have most of my exit strategy thought out but wanted to post as I’m sure you all will give me some new things to think about. Here’s a few key points. I’ve owned this...

deaconvolker: Deacon, Congrats on the awesome abs and the billions of dollars. Is http://dgsullivan.com really your site?

I’m pretty sure I’d ram the mop handle through the ceiling tiles… but that’s just me. And I have trouble with our 10’ er as it is.

Did anybody have a good 2/15 as well? Our V-Day was good. about 60% above an average Tuesday but the day after was great and it looks like it was the same last year too.

No box necessary. You can just wrap them and the trays are sturdy enough on their own.

For some reason, I can’t see the IOC allowing this. If it does work though, you can get your twitter account to blow up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/180789582037?ss … 2810wt_128 I wander it you get your money back if he doesn’t qualify for the games.

Restaurant.com told me that they would not be able to work with me since I was only a Delco and their model is built on dine-in. I wasn’t heartbroken by this as I didn’t think I would sign up anyway. If you are unhappy with them, you may want to talk to the rep and let them know that your store...

It may not be possible, but have you thought of working by yourself for lunch? Tues- Thurs, I am the only one here until 4:00pm. If I have a delivery, I route the calls to my cell and place a “Back in 10 minutes” sign on the door. I would try to raise sales first, but if you are really hurting...

There’s been some debate on whether its a good tactic, but you could buy the closing pizza store’s phone number. You’d have to talk to the old owner to see if he’d sell it to you and how much he’d want.

agostino221: I think I’ll make this my next USP. 🙂

I suppose I’d say something like this. Thank you for inquiring about our store. We make our pizza dough from scratch and the only ingredients in it are yeast, flour, water, salt, sugar and olive oil. Our sauce is also free of any of the items mentioned. We do our best to buy most of our...

So, I just went and checked my caller ID for the last 4 weeks. I wanted to see how many Monday calls I am missing right now compared to Tues, Wed, and Thur. It turns out that the phone rings about 48% as often on a Monday as it does on the others. My biggest fear is something that Paul pointed...

Currently, we are closed on Monday. We’ve always been that way because when I bought this shop, the old owners were that way. Right now, I work almost every minute the store is open. We are 2 months away from our one year anniversary, and its the only way that I can have a positive cash flow. I...
