Thanks Bodega! Any chance you would be willing to share your spreadsheet with me? I’m not all that proficient in Excel!

Hi All, After a nice little vacation, I’m back in the swing of things here at the shop and in my rejuvenated state I am tackling some things that have been on my to do list. Since purveyors are notorious for sneaky price increases, I am trying to find them best way to track prices with our...

Pizzamancer: This sounds tasty! Tuna, cheddar and corn=delicious combination in just about anything.

Thank you all for the feedback! I think I am just going to use our logo which is a pretty neat design in itself. I am conflicted on whether or not to add any additional information to the shirt. Part of me thinks I should at least put the city/state since anyone wearing it is essentially a...

I was wondering when this thread was going to come up as I have been wondering myself. I still have to finalize but I think this is what we are going with: Friday, Dec 23: Regular Hours Christmas Eve: Close at 6pm Christmas Day: Closed December 26th: Closed (as we are always closed Mondays) I...

Here are a few off the top of my head: Gorgonzola and Grape drizzled with balsamic glaze/reduction: More of a gourmet type. I have not tried it yet but I hear the sweet and savory flavors play off each other nicely. Mashed Potato/Loaded Potato: Mashed potatoes atop dough with cheddar cheese...

I am in the process of designing t-shirts to have printed since many of our customers ask if we sell the t-shirts. The staff shirts only have our logo and our name on the back, with nothing else on them and I want to do something a little different for the shirts we will sell. For those of you...

Thank you for all your suggestions! I most definitely don’t want to create a work environment where people can’t have fun. My fondest job memories are working at places where everyone was a team and got the job done but could still have a good time doing it. I should clarify, the vast majority...

We have been having a problem of late at the shop where I can’t get the employees to stop idle chit chat. It has been a standing rule that there is no talking on the line other than what is pertaining to the job at hand. On several occasions, talking on the line has contributed to errors (go...

mbinca: Lot’s of booze and Xanaxs. I joke, I joke! I try and remind myself that I am making an incredible investment of my time into an asset that will hopefully pay off in the next few years and lead to a comfortable like for myself and future family. I’m in my mid-20’s with no children so I...

I would suggest taking a good look at how you want your customers to view your establishment and how you’d like to position yourself in their minds. In the eyes of the consumer, more often than not, a first impression is a lasting one. Are you viewed as the local, hometown pizza shop that makes...

Best: -Being my own boss and not having to follow protocols that are created by upper management who usually have not a clue how the day to day operations go. -Getting to work with my significant other and not having to work with people I don’t care for, for one reason or another. -Results are...

Good luck with the new venture!

That’s a very creative and neat idea Mike! Not to mention, if I were a customer and walked into a place that had one of those, I wouldn’t mind waiting a few minutes for my food while I take a look!

I appreciate all the feedback and advice, thanks! We are in the midst of implementing a cheese portioning protocol, (I know, shame on us for not having one in place from day one) and I wanted to see how far off base we are now that we don’t currently portion control. Since my partner is in the...

Thanks for all the suggestions, very good feedback!

Was chatting with my partner about our cheese costs (riveting, huh?) and was wondering to myself what others are spending on cheese per month. What percentage of your food cost is solely cheese?

I usually give the customer the benefit of the doubt and if there is some sort of issue that comes up, I will always give them another try. Any other shenanigans after that and they go on the PITA/No Orders list! These type people have a knack for knowing just how much they can get away with and...

I was curious after reading the original post and wanted to read more. I found an article in which this Michael Shepherd was quoted regarding the food delivery business, not the whole story but some interesting tidbits. Almost at the bottom of the page. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m …...

I watched a couple of videos before buying the software and thought they seemed pretty basic and straightforward, I suppose I thought there was “more to it”, but hopefully not. 😃 I will definitely check all the videos out, thanks again!
