    delivering beer

    The difference is the store clerk has to watch the minor walk out of the store in full view of anyone who cares to look, get in a car and drive off. The delivery guy hands the beer to the guy standing in the doorway of his house, and the guy shuts the door. Done.

    Looking for feedback on going from a deck oven to conveyor

    Re: Looking for feedback on going from a deck oven to convey VAScotty wrote: Buddy’s uses a conveyor. They have 9 stores and 22mm in sales. Do you think they are competing with Domino’s or Pizza Hut? Furthermore, the biggest chains in the country use conveyors. Why wouldn’t you try and...

    Looking for feedback on going from a deck oven to conveyor

    Re: Looking for feedback on going from a deck oven to convey I’ve got to ask: If you have experience only with deck ovens, and know nothing about conveyor ovens - why did you design a kitchen for conveyors? As for the deck vs conveyor debate: If you plan to compete with the likes of Domino’s or...

    Malt in pizza dough

    It’s on it’s way Daisy. UPS. Should be there next Friday or Saturday. I sent a copy of everything it says on the label for you, but it did not mention diastatic or nondiastatic. (Our dough is NOT sticky, at any time. Quite the reverse, in fact)

    Malt in pizza dough

    We use malt in our dough - well, technically we use “Diamalt - Dried Malt Product” it looks a lot like light brown flour. For a 50LB bag of flour, we would use 8 oz. It does function like sugar does, although we add both to each batch. I’ve been told that people that use Malt in their dough are...

    How long before you broke even on your first location?

    How many employees do you have? Being a delco, there has to be at least you and one other, but are there more? If so…why?

    OLD Bakers Pride Stone Oven

    I didn’t want to say anything until I talked to my oven guy, (but my first thoughts were identical to those of pcuezze). But he (independent repair shop, over 30 years experience, has done hundreds of retro-fits for those mercury type thermocouples) says the pressure DOESN’T change (just like...

    Need some constructive criticism about my new store interior

    Re: Need some constructive criticism about my new store inte I can see how it would look shocking if you are used to all white, but I think it will look good when u are all done. Hopefully you have realized that you will need different lighting from what u had when it was all white?

    replacing burner in a blodgett deck oven

    Assuming this is a gas burner? You don’t need to remove deck. You don’t need “special” tools. In theory, the whole operation should take less than an hour. BUT : There are always complications. I would really just call a pro to do it, $80 to $160 in labor will seem like a great deal if you try...

    Numbers question

    The just counting the bills thing works for me. It gives you a vague idea of how you are doing - which is really all you need. It gets more accurate the longer the time covered, of course. Most people get too hung up on exact numbers and spend way too much time attempting to get them, time they...

    open a year and struggling what next?

    Without knowing any of the details of your place: If I see a place that “pushes” gluten-free, then I interpret their overall pitch as, “Try our gluten-free food, it is nearly as good as normal food”. Which isn’t much of a recommendation, unless you are looking for gluten-free. Which eliminates...

    Time to Let This One Go?

    Seems most people are missing what this lady does: She does NOT order the same pizza every time, so the idea of naming or making an official one just for her won’t work. My take on the situation? It’s your store, it’s your decision. Only you can decide if she is a big enough pain to “fire”, but...

    Hot water heater

    Have you been wandering through my store? I have the same two water heater setup u reference, and my secondary doesn’t work, either! (I’m in the process of replacing it). The setup is awesome, you never run out of hot water, and if one water heater breaks, you STILL don’t run out of hot water...
