    Lets talk about lunch buffets.

    Since we’re talking about buffets, here is an example of how to mess it up, and pis off your customers: There is a fairly large Oregon based, mostly statewide chain in town, and their big thing is an all-you-can-eat dinner buffet. They feature both thin and thick crust pizzas, chicken, pasta...

    My review of a Marsal Oven

    Bad news, Rich: You ARE YOUR DEALERS. The excuse that, “Any problems are with the dealer, not us.”, doesn’t work. Because it is YOUR responsibility to ‘vet’ your dealers. We certainly can’t do that. I should also add that your (theoretical) claims about the oven are not worth much, compared to...

    Active dry yeast question

    We used to do that exact procedure, until we got rushed a few times and skipped the hydrating step, just mixing everything right away. We discovered that there was no difference. So we don’t let it sit anymore. As for how long it’s viable, I would say a half hour is about as long as I would...

    ancient, gas, Bakers Pride x 2. Two times six at a time, and about 50 max an hour.

    Downsizing?

    I’ve alway had a small (10"), large (14") and Giant (16"). After thirty years, everyone else in town was calling their sizes: small (10"), medium (14") and Large (16"), after fighting the confusion for ten years, I gave up and scrawled “Medium” across the 'Large" pan, in an obvious...

    Dough Sheeters

    I use a sheeter, and would never consider not doing so. But it is undeniable that a sheeter gives you a crust/skin/dough that is different than tossing or pressing or whatever. Ya gotta pick one style and stick with it.

    Types Of Crust

    Depends on what you have and what you want. Easiest solution: try it and see.

    Start-up costs

    The people on this board mostly think that you must have about $200,000 in spending money AFTER you open your doors. I flatly don’t agree. I think there are two ways to do things: Work hard, or throw money at it. But I will concede that you will sleep better if you have as much financial backing...

    zpizza interview

    When I read “Green” or “Organic”, I hear “It’s more expensive, and tastes bad, but you should feel honored that I’m giving you the opportunity to buy it”.

    The first week of my first GM position

    It should go without saying that the two shift leaders are gone…

    Another payroll question

    I don’t use the POS for payroll in any way/shape/or form. It’s just too simple using totally separate timecards.

    How do you do payroll?

    Just to be contrary to the previous posters: I do all my own payroll, and year end taxes, too. (TurboTax) And I encourage everyone who CAN do their own, to do so! (I will admit that I have less than ten employees & love math) You do not need to be a “math whiz” to do your own books, and taxes...

    Just posted this on our FB page

    I agree with Pizza Pirate, nutritional info on pizza is a big, unwanted, waste of time. But if (or when) we are forced to post that sort of thing by the PC busy bodies in the state (or Federal) capital, I plan to post about ten pages of the most detailed, incomprehensible, and totally accurate...

    Delivery Times

    I no longer deliver, but, in these days of everyone has a cel phone, I would suggest that your drivers always call the next delivery, as they finish the last one. This would notify each customer that their delivery is (10?) minutes away.

    Hand stuck in sheeter

    I’ve had that happen, I still remember the ER doc saying, “There was minimal powdering of the bone”…

    Gregster is going to like this, or not?

    In Oregon, every business is supposed to have this kind of audit, I believe, every six(?) years. I have had at least four or five, over the years. They weren’t anything exciting, just a review of records that you should have anyway. But we don’t do any of the stuff that people get in trouble...

    One pizza maker shop volume?

    “With the declining selling price of pizza…” Wow, I knew most of you guys were from the East Coast, but it turns out your not even living in my Universe!! (Oregon, BTW)

    Credit Card machine Pin Pad encryption?

    I got that letter, too, but they said $150 per machine. And don’t worry about paying, we’ll just take it out of your bank account.
