    Having a washer/dryer on site is perfectly safe as long as you don’t dry on high. The heat will start a fire. So you have to have someone that you can trust 100% to not crank up the heat. I’ve never had a problem w/ insurance, health inspections, or fire inspections. IMO it’s definitely worth...

    Cintas Uniform Co.

    I bought a washer and dryer last year and had it installed in our basement, we wash all the towels and aprons once or twice a week when it’s slow. You just have to make sure that no one puts the dryer on high, this can cause a fire if you are drying towels that have been used to clean up grease.

    Does anyone make pizza with gloves? I've developed a contact allergy to pizza

    I use rice flour as dusting flour. However, I tried using cornmeal a couple of weeks ago with bare hands to see if I would react, and I did. I’m not sure if the allergen is in the cornmeal as well or if I reacted to the flour in the dough itself, I’ll know next month after testing.

    After 10 years of pizza making and 1.5 years of owning my own store, I’ve unfortunately developed a condition known as “pizza makers’ contact dermatitis” (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25000237). It’s basically a contact allergy to something in flour (I’m waiting for an appointment to...

    How to sell a pizza store- where to start?

    Thanks for the reply! We’ve asked our other operators and no one wants to take on the store because of the distance from their current locations (its about 45 minutes from any other of our locations). When we open up a new store we usually carry the note for one of our current managers and have...

    need ideas to add menu items

    We started selling sandwiches on Ciabatta bread about 5 years ago, they started selling well pretty quickly. We get our Ciabatta bread frozen from US Foods or Sysco and use ingredients that we already use on other items. The bread thaws pretty quickly, you can pull some out of the freezer every...
