Can I adjust the syrup flow on my Pepsi machine myself or do I need to call their tech? The reason for asking is that I think the last tech purposely adjusted the brix so I use more syrup. I’ve had several customers tell me that the soda tastes too sweet. I never had that comment before the...

The stock menu designs are nice, but a custom design is the way to go if you want to kick it up a notch! I can’t wait to see my menus that I’m getting (maybe tomorrow?). Thanks Chris (and T-Lynn) for your help. Taradel rocks!

I’ve been doing my due diligence on Twitter for the past few weeks and decided to give it a try. Amazingly, after only a few days, I already have 6 followers. This is without any marketing at all. In fact, I’m not sure how they heard I had a twitter site at all. Anyways, I finished putting a...

Piper: I can’t believe they don’t share revenue. Why would Wal-mart want this box taking up space in their store if they’re not making something off of it. It’s not like they need more people to come in. :evil: Or, maybe that’s what RedBox is telling the little guys so they don’t get bothered...

Giving them away is a much better idea. It seems that whenever I drop off a pizza at the fire dept, I usually get several of them return within a week. It’s just good PR.

Wow, tough call… You’re right in the middle of Coca-Cola Country. Didn’t they invent the stuff just a few miles south of you and Coke’s HQ is just to north? I don’t necessarily know if Pepsi sells better than Coke in that part of the country. Nevertheless, it’s hard to believe that Coke would...

Piper: Yikes, not much room for error. Do you not feel that your customers are not willing to pay a premium for chicken as many of the posters have mentioned? At least this way, you’ll actually make something. I too charge 2X for chicken. Some people may balk at the price, but usually end up...

Re: Are any of you taking advantage of the stimulus job prog I don’t necessarily agree with all of the bailouts that we keep hearing about. I did not think this was going to turn into a political thread. But, this money was already allocated. So, it’s use it or lose it. If I don’t take...

Re: Are any of you taking advantage of the stimulus job prog pizzachop: Hmm, that’s a pretentious statement without even exploring what’s out there. I interviewed two candidates this morning. One of the kids I interviewed has two parents that were both laid off. He has a “B” average in high...

Re: Are any of you taking advantage of the stimulus job prog You can just google “Teen job stimulus” and see all sorts of articles about the program. But you should contact your local employment office, since they are the ones that are administrating it. As far as I can tell, almost every state...

I am in the process of hiring 5 teenagers this summer and it’s going to cost a whopping “zippo”! I’m going to have them do odd 'n end type jobs (cleaning, portioning, handing out flyers, etc.). Payroll is through my local county employment office (from Fed fund), plus they take care of Workers...

Do you use a distributor? The two box companies I deal with (Star & Bayline) will only work through my distributor (US foods) and not with me directly. Also, 4 color may get kind of expensive. Rarely (in fact I’ll say never) have I ever saw a 4 color pizza box. Even the big chains limit their...

Before I starting out, I picked up a book called The Art of Pizza Making by Dominick A. DeAngelis (http://www.amazon.com/Art-Pizza-Making-Secrets-Recipes/dp/0963203401). There are some good nuggets of info in this book including the idea of mimicking a commercial oven buy creating baffles with...

mrkona: Good question. No, I don’t have it specifically stating a doc’s note. I think I’ll be adding that one in.

I have an employee that has called in sick for the past 3 days. With all the news about the Swine Flu, is it legal for me to ask him to get a doctors note stating that he is fit to return to work?

We incorporate our spices into the sauce and becomes part of our overall flavor profile. On occasion, we get customers that ask for oregano and other spices (besides crushed red pepper). I think this should be left to the customer’s discretion. Having pizza makers shake on spices leaves too much...

bhenken08: Something smells fishy with this. Maybe it’s just downwind from Pike’s Market. 😉 $1200 per month X 12 months X 9 years = $129,600 Wow! This equipment only has 4 more years left of depreciated value. There’s no way it’s worth $129K

Blacklist that location for credit cards; cash only. There’s no need to change your ways for everyone just because of this one bad customer.

I like the look of this in regards to the toppings to the edge. I ask my pizza makers to get to 1/2 inch from the edge, much for the same reason that was mentioned before… so the pizza can be eaten entirely with the toppings and not have a big wasted crust that gets thrown back in the box. I...
