Hey guys, This will be our fist MLK Jr. day. We’ve been open 9 months. It sure would be nice to close tomorrow and spend some time with family! If MLK Jr. day typically slow or busy for you? Very tempted to close, especially since it’s a Monday. Thanks in advance!

I’ve thought about doing this too. One question, If all the options on the wheel were positive or discounts for the customer wouldn’t everyone spin the wheel?

Hi guys, We’ve been open about 7 months and are averaging 22,000 a month in product sales. We have great reviews see: here … So far my biggest regret is the location. I humbly believe that if we were in a more visible location we would be doing 50 - 75% more sales with our current marketing...

We’ve been open about 6 months. We don’t have a walk in. As far as refrigerators go, we have: 6FT sandwich prep table with storage underneath 8 FT Pizza prep table with storage underneath 6 or 7 FT 3 door refrigerator. 5 FT 2 door refrigerator 5 FT 2 Door freezer 5 FT Chest freezer / Dough...

Just wanted to add something to the conversation. If your slices are at room temperature, either in a glass container or out in open air, you have 4 hours to use them before you have to toss them (As per our health department). Personally I wouldn’t use anything after an hour or two because they...

What do you guys think of this menu? http://richiebsabq.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/11112840_652069988232178_6241477402580217788_o-1.jpg

I really appreciate all your replies, seriously, it means a lot that you’ve taken the time to help and give your two cents. Oh yes, we’re very concerned with “surviving”! I think I’ve decided to do double sided flyers that we will hand deliver. The front will have a brief introduction, and...

I appreciate all the replies. I don’t have the budget to give away free pizzas via delivery, or to advertise 4-6 radio spots a day on multiple stations. We just started and for now money is tight. Sales are 20k a month, advertising budget is roughly 500 a month. What’s the best use of that...

Well we announced on the radio today that people would get “free sample slices” for just showing up. One person came. For a town of roughly 800,000 and a pretty popular radio station I’m not too happy with the results!

My radio Contract is month to month, so could drop it pretty quick. My other thought was to print 10,000 flyers with menu and a coupon for a free sample as a “Hi, we’re new in the neighborhood” kinda thing.

Hey guys, We’ve been open roughly 3 months and sales have been steadily increasing bit are still quite slow. We’re in a great neighborhood, but store location could be better. We have great reviews and lots of repeat customers. I’m thinking of advertising on the radio on Fridays that we have...

5 Week update! Our sales have gone up roughly 10-15% each week. Word of mouth has been the biggest marketing success. Also, having a guy in a pizza costume on the street seems to be helping. It’s bringing in just enough sales to pay for him to stand out there. The biggest problem we have is...

Here’s our front counter: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/richie-bs-pizza-subs-and-salads-albuquerque?select=usMSPK3njXGZ5qxEA37Q_A It’s not what we had in mind, but it’s the"best" we could do with our budget. The only thing we really did to the space was the stainless steel countertops, the Red...

Hi everyone. Just a quick update: We’ve been open for 2 weeks now. We did zero advertising for a soft opening. Money is tight and sales are slow, but it was expected. Our busiest day had been roughly 1k and slowest right around 300.00 Have a full page new business intro going in the paper...

Hey Jaime, I think one of my big fears of having processing done on my site would be compliance of CC’s & Personal Identifiable Information (PII). With it being hosted with another company I have no risks or worries if they get hacked or loose any data. How does your system handle stuff like that?

Thank you everyone. I’ve gone back and forth many times with my hours and days of operation (it’s probably the thing I think about and worry about the most!). The person who’s helping me has a store that’s in a city 1/5 the size of mine (less competition though) and he’s open 11AM to 3PM...

Do have room for 2,000 + boxes? Check out these. Straight from China. http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/pizza-box.html I’ve ordered things from Alibaba for a separate industry (pool cues) and have been pleasantly surprised with the results. You can request samples before you place a large order...

These are all great replies. Thanks! I will look into Spiral mixers/60Quarts. The hood will stay in place, It’s mandatory for my ovens and deep fryer. Does anyone have recommendations on Décor/layout from the video/picture? I feel like people don’t like sitting on one large continuous bench...

Hi Guys/Gals This will be a long post, I apologize. My name is Preston, I’ve decided to quit my 7 year career in IT (working 9-5) and open a pizzeria. I have a unique opportunity that I’ve given a lot of thought to. I’m buying the name/concept/recipes to what I believe is some of the best NY...
