Re: Need Full Red FP sauce… kind of in a bind… please he Easygoer13: Easy, you are absolutely right about Stanislaus. That is one of the reasons why I insisted with my current distributor that I want to continue using the same sauce.

Re: Need Full Red FP sauce… kind of in a bind… please he “Call Stanislaus”… I did. They told me the best they could do is refer me to another distributor that keeps this sauce in stock. I’ll probably “will call” this distributor on Monday if I can’t get any through other means. I was hoping...

Long story short, my distributor has decided not to carry my usual sauce (Stanislaus Full Red Fully Prepared). They neglected to inform me until I tried placing my weekly order and the system said they were out. I called my rep and she did some poking around. Come to find out, another client of...

Patriot'sPizza: I’m not a big fan of using hyphens. Numbers are ok, but not ideal too. Telling a customer, “my website is xyzpizza.com”; is much better than “my website is xyz ‘dash’ pizza.com” Many people will forget the dash and never get to your site, so what’s the point? With numbers, you...

In my jurisdiction, if the sign is not part of the building/property that I’m on, it’s considered an “off-premise sign” that holds a bunch of different rules. As for the message, I’m thinking you may not want to cut down the competition. IMO, it’s just not business-wise and some people get...

Re: “Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand” - labo That is very well-put Nick.

You ought to post your questions to http://posroundtable.com You’ll definitely be able to get your questions answered there.

Re: “Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand” - labo Dox47: What did I miss? Your original post was in response to justifying Internet surfing while on the clock. Now you’re saying that if it’s work-related than it’s ok and that’s what you meant. If so, then excuse me and I would have to agree...

Steveo, I feel for you bro. I wish you all the luck in getting this turned around. You’re getting some excellent advice from true industry professionals here. I hope you can convince your dad how worthy it truly is. I agree with Kris that if there’s never been a better time to put your plan...

Re: “Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand” - labo I’m absolutely fine with socializing/chatting about non-work related stuff, as long as it doesn’t detract from the employees’ ability to work and/or adversely affect the customer. Unless the employee is a mono-tasker, he/she should be able to...

Re: “Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand” - labo So Dox47, you have tried this management style and it seems to work for you “when you’ve been left in charge”. I’m not trying to sound condescending, but how the heck do you know it worked well? Because the workers got their “chores” done early...

Re: “Sometimes nothing is a real cool hand” - labo Dox47: Is this the management style that you employ at your own store?

Dox47: Sorry, I don’t buy it. My employees are being paid to be productive (to benefit the operation). If they’re not working darn near 100% of the time that they’re getting paid for, then they’re wasting labor dollars. Plain and simple. I have a very low tolerance for goofing around while...

Integraoligist: Bi-Weekly here. Currently using PayChex.

I can’t speak specifically about this class/program, but I would definitely recommend getting some “real world” practical experience by working in a shop. As I’ve said it many times, “making good pizza is the easy part.” There is just so much more to it… employees, suppliers, customers, pricing...

I have great apps that are all oven-able, as we do not have a fryer (nor do I want one). We offer wings, mozz sticks, potato skins, cheesy garlic bread, and soon to offer chicken fingers and jalapeno poppers. These items carry a higher food cost, but virtually no prep. People like them and it’s...

You should be able to control Internet access through your router. As a side note, it’s in my employee handbook that personal use of the computer, phones, or fax is strictly prohibited and could result in disciplinary action up to and including termination. All my employees signed an agreement...

I started off with pre-shredded stuff, but switched over with no regrets. I figure I save about 20 cents per pound by shredding it myself. It also saves space to keep blocks rather than a whole week worth of preshred. I find that it has very little effect to my labor, since I have to have...

I use a Nemco Easy Slicer. I highly recommend it.

I was at Wally World yesterday and saw one of those digital picture frames on the clearance rack, so I bought it. Went back to the restaurant and took some pictures of appetizers and had them rotating on the digital picture frame every 5 seconds. Low and behold, I had several customers order...
