    Lets discuss pepperoni and mushrooms

    I’ve been in business 16 years and used canned mushrooms the entire time. I am going to guess it depends on the part of the country you are in.

    Minimum wage increase in NY

    I pay my inside help up to 17 an hour depending on length of service and abilities. That is not what my problem will be. I pay my drivers, which is 2/3 of my employees, 7.25 per hour. With tips, they are the highest paid employees in the store. If their wages were to jump to 15 an hour, that...

    Minimum wage increase in NY

    I would not underestimate the effects of an increase of the minimum wage , especially from 7.25 to 15 an hour. The people who now make 10,12, or even 15 an hour are not going to be happy if they don’t also get an increase. Our suppliers will have to raise prices as their payrolls also increase...

    Ventless fryers

    We started out using the Perfect Fry PFC fryer because the landlord would not let us put a hole in the roof for a hood. They worked great except for the capacity. I switched to the Broaster VF3 fryers for greater capacity. They are expensive to buy, but they work great. We sell a lot of wings...

    Your most used marketing/business resource

    Message On Hold has been the single most important resource for us in the 15 years we have been here. Every customer knows what my specials are each time. Any new item can be advertised from day one. It has increased my sales of specialty pizzas, desserts, appetizers, etc. I would be lost...

    Night time delivery

    I tell my drivers to look for an address as soon as they turn onto the street and then count the houses. It’s not fool proof, but works in most instances. We also put directions in the POS system for difficult addresses. In a pinch, I tell my drivers not to hesitate to call a customer if they...

    Looking for a phone system....

    I am looking to replace my current phone system with something better. I am not ready to go with VOIP yet. All I really want is something that can handle 4 lines and give me Message on Hold capabilities. All the systems that I have tried, are either made for office buildings or no longer take...

    Help w/Pricing @ Festival

    I would sell Pepsi cans for a buck, I would find something cheaper than Aquafina, and also sell the water for a buck. Make the whole situation as easy as possible for yourself, no quarters to deal with. Make your money on food sold.

    Anybody using wireless credit card units?

    Just curious if anybody is using wireless credit card units for delivery. For almost 10 years we were able to store customer credit card numbers but with PCI compliance our POS company has us back to using Verifone units. This is causing a bottle neck having to enter all the information each...

    Hobart HCM450 mixer for sale

    I would not be selling it except I bought a Robocoupe mixer that grinds our cheese very well. We never had problems with the cheese clumping, but we would shred it at night and grind it in the hcm450 in the morning. It is a well built machine. We have only been using it since October 2014. It...
