PizzaMaverick: That’s a pretty cool idea to have some regulars mystery shop your store. Making them feel like VIPs can go a long way. As for first time customers, maybe it’s just a matter of inviting them back. You can send them a Thank You Card and inside you can hand write “Dear Mr. Doe...

Good for you. That’ll help offset the missing revenue from Thursday. If it were me, I would still keep the store closed until 4 and just focus on the two orders. That way you can possibly do it with just you and your wife. I love running zero labor when I could. You should be able to run some...

Nice. Very good choice with Daddio; although don’t Canadians have a slightly different perspective on things? JK 😉

Welcome Indie, First off, I hope you turned over that old staff and got new people. By keeping any of the old staff, they will: a) keep stealing from you; just in a sneekier way 2) resist your change. 3) ruin your new staff. As for seasons, my strongest months seem to be in the winter and...

What’s the best temp to hold dough to minimize proofing?

I don’t feel it’s censorship when action is taken against a poster that continuously trolls for arguments with the membership of this board (or any moderated board for that matter). It wasn’t his viewpoint that was in question; it was his the continuous insults and ridicule that led to the...

TangoPizza: But was it premeditated or just a spur of the moment car heist?

I buy this stuff from Sam’s Club called Perfect Blend Seasoning & Rub by Lowry’s. I just sprinkle it on my chicken bre.asts and run it through my conveyor ovens three times, turning the chicken on the last pass. The chicken comes out delicious. I use it for pizza topping, salads, pastas, and...

Pizza of the Month: Oh, I’m not opening. I was just wondering if any of you are. I’m glad to give up a couple of hundred in sales to give me and my staff a break. 😃 Happy Thanksgiving!

Was the delivery related to the car heist? In other words, did the thief call the order, waited for his prey to come and then jack the car? Did the driver leave his car running or did the thief hot wire it? I just wondering because I’m trying to get my drivers to be more aware of their...

I keep having to replace the cigarette lighter cords to my lights (cut cords, broken connectors, lost, etc.) Any suggestions on how I can convert my lighted signs (Cassel) to cordless, using a 12v. rechargeable batteries? There seems to be room inside the light box to hold a small battery.

I had two customers ask me today if I’m opening on Thanksgiving day. I thought to myself, “Are you crazy?!” One of them told me that it was kind of their family tradition to eat the “big supper” like at 2PM and then order pizza around 8PM. Just curious if anyone opens that day and what kind of...

scootie: scootie: Isn’t that competition? Have you considered delivery? You can add that in your existing buidling with minimal investment (labor, delivery bags, cartop signs, insurance). The upside with delivery, you’ll possibly attract a whole different clientele. And if they like you...

piemaker2007: I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions. When you stated your job is in IT, I just figured you were probing and then would hit owners up for business. If that wasn’t your intention, then my bad :oops: I and probably every business owner at one time or another has received calls like...

Hi Hannah, Might I suggest that you go out to other businesses around you and see if they’re experiencing similar drops in sales? You may want to target restaurants that are similar in price as you. If lots of them are seeing 50% or more drop in sales, then could quite possibly be attributed to...

big joe pizza 726: Not trying to be a smart-A, but why don’t you try it for yourself? Although our doughs are probably similar, there are a lot of factors that could affect the results (i.e the dough, type of screen or disc, temperature of cooler, how long it’s been in the cooler, if the screen...

I just got my new gift cards a few weeks ago and am in the process of launching my holiday campaign. We are giving $5 bonus for every $25 purchase. We’ve already sold a few and haven’t even put up the posters yet 😃 I’m hoping to generate some nice cash flow from these cards and also to give out...

RapidFire_Guy: Can you please elaborate, Mr. RapidFire? What specifically will POSuccess not do? I’m using POSuccess and it seems to do everything that a single DELCO/Dine-In store would need (with exception to integrated online ordering). But online ordering was never brought up as a...

Registered Guest: doh!~~~ :o I forgot about my profile. Oh well, I’m sure if he was really sharp, he could figure out a bunch of our URLs.

I have one. I put my URL on everything. At first, it was a relatively static site (home page, map, hours, menu, etc.). But in October 2007, I added online ordering. For me, my web site is a vital part of my business. That said, I’m cautious about giving out my URL on this thread because the...
