    The Spectre of Food Poisoning

    Hey guys sorry for abandoning my thread… my laptop went down right after I peeked at your answers… and since I’m a cheap bastid I bought the part on ebay and fixed it 😉 (I hate trying to type on my tablet) Answers were divided enough that I was Ok with how I handled it. I did talk to three other...

    Anyone going alcohol-free?

    I did have a plan in place if they only gave me a beer and wine license. It involved as many drafts as i could reasonably afford to put in place(6-8)(used equipment)(tell those asses from bud they r giving u a free keg or three at least!), a really good selection of well priced, unheard of...

    Anyone going alcohol-free?

    We can petition to the City Council to get a waver, but they are likely to refuse it, given the overall mood in the town. I started on a tangent(below lol)—I’m within a hundred feet of two schools AND a church. In MA that law was struck down. BUT—NOONE. NOONE. Except one realtor knew this…plz...

    I need better applicants! anything working for you?

    I too pay better than other pizza places, but also expect more too. Mostly though, I talk to other owners and head chef’s in town who don’t allow their employees to go over forty hours a week due to OT reasons and have them send me the best ones who are looking for an extra 15-20 hours a week...

    Water vs. Air Cooled Ice Makers

    My refrigeration guy is sitting here…short answer-use the air cooled machine. Longer answer, water cooled machine is using upwards of 5+ gallons/hr IF set up right and your not recycling the water. Also depends on cost of utilities, here (cape cod mass) water is relatively more expensive than...

    Negative review

    One of the seminars at Pizza Expo presented the Yelp Us Out idea. The basic concept is you give your customers a reason to put a positive review on one of the internet sites. If they bring in a printed copy of their verifiable review they receive some sort of promotional deal. Thank-you! This...

    any opinions on pizza prep and other refrigeration?

    Buying used is only as smart of an idea as the relationship you have with the guy who’s gonna fix it… I have an amazing guy who loves my food and booze and works in TRADE (under utilized nowadays) (yes im lucky). therefore EVERYTHING in my place is used. It works really well for me–INSPECT this...

    Screens: don't understand

    I’m very much a newbie to pizza(I tend towards nightclubs/bartending). When we first opened we had big time problems with pizzas sticking to screens. Completely thought we were screwing things up–driving me bonkers crazy. then experience taught me that a “seasoned” screen was the answer. now for...
