I may have the opportunity to purchase an existing store that has a non-operating salad bar. The buffet itself works but a piece of the glass is missing. Im told it is about a $500 fix( so i assume it is more like 750-1000). Ive been doing pizza for 15 years but have never done buffet. It is a...

crusher and i are very much in the same boat. however my system was down for about 6.5 hours, and it was in the middle of our rush. also after it was up it went down again 45 min later for about an hour. this is what makes me concerned about the reliability of arrow. I have had many hats in this...

im down too. took forever to get through (which i understand) but the woman answering the phone was very rude(which i dont understand).i asked if she knew when i would be able to use my pos again she said 15 minutes(an hour ago) and hung up. Looks like pen paper and a calculator for a while.

I am thinking about addind twitter to our options of advertising. If anyone uses this how does it work. My idea was to ask easy questions about our food and our town and give away food as a prize. When doing this on twitter are thie winners the first to respond via twitter or the first to call...

is there a formula for the amount i can get from a landlord. i am a decent negotiator so obviously i will work for the best number i can get but what should my jumping off point be. a percent of yearly rent? percent of buildout costs? or just a flat rate? sorry if this sound naive but have not...

just curious what the forum thinks about the 30% rule on food cost. is that just for food or an all inclusive cogs(paper,food,bev,etc).

i guess that was obvious the business is profitable and has positive cash flow. i guess i was just double checking my train of thought.everything i have read says a major downfall is not starting with enough capital and i wanted to make sure i was thinking corectlly. i have read this forum for...

just a quick background… i have been a managing partner for many years now and i now may have the oppurtunity to buy out the owner. my question is how much cash should i have in the bank. i do not mean purchase price but more of how much cash should i have on hand when i open. most of what i...

We also do a stuffed pizza but out cook time is much lower than most of yours. We do not par bake and stretch the dough to order. We cook for about 7 min then cover with out hot pizza sauce then cook for about another 4 min. We also dampen the edge of the crust to make sure both layers stick...

We have basically a cookie cutter. We use our med. dough then cut off the excees dough and reuse it.

We expect to be very busy. It’s usually the biggest day of the year. We do heart shaped pies as well and send a rose with each one. it’s amazing how many shocked faces our drivers see each year. We get a ton of out of towners calling for their loved one’s. Anyways it will hopefully be the...

i along with my business partner just finished our budget for 2010 and while we were finishing we were talking about next years advertising. It started as a joke then became a somewhat serious idea. we sell a big clover pizza through march and were thinking about hiring some little people to be...

I am involved in a loosley ran franchise and was wondering about starting to make our own dough. right now we have a local bakery who makes all the dough for the franchise. we may be allowed to start making our own dough( in discussions with the franchise president now). What my question is how...

Thanks for all the posts. I will take all these comments under consideration and try to come up with a plan.

Thanks ittza. Is the instalation a do-it -yourself type of deal or will I have to bring someone in to do it. I’m not much of a handyman but can do most repairs in my stores. If I did need someone who would it be, Im assuming I couldn’t have coke come install it.

Yes you are missing that these are FAILED businesses. These are operators selling equip at pennies on the dollar. You may get a good deal on equipment but you will have to make up for it in changing the perception of the location. People eat with their eyes and if they see the same type of store...

We buy our 20 ozs and 2 lts through coke. Basically they told me we do not have enough dine in sales to make it worth there while (about 5% of total sales). This is not a super busy location about 10k a week, closer to 15k during football season. Not sure if this is just a way to make me buy...
