    paleo pizza

    I’m in 100% agreement with bodegahwy. We have tried introducing a few different options, mostly at lunch, and as good as they were they just did not make it. I finally accepted the fact people come to us for a high quality pizza. Maybe wings or a pasta. That’s it. I now fully accept the fact we...

    Does your lease have a "demolition clause"?....

    The “demo clause” is actually very common up here in Canada. I passed on two potential sites for our second location due to it. As far as I am concerned your lease is actually for the length of the notice required under the demo clause. Period. i.e. that 5 year lease is actually a 90 day lease…...

    Which type of marketing do YOU prefer?

    You, Me and Diannas eh? … we are off on our own little holy grail. Coupons are the problem, not the solution. 100% agree on your post.

    Bricker drive unit vs bricker gear box

    K guys, looking for advise here… We also shred with the Hobart. Set it on speed “3”. Cooks get all pissy if a new employee does the cheese and doesn’t “lean into it” almost stalling the Hobart thus producing long shreds. Easier to handle, doesn’t settle in the insert so much, spreads/covers...

    How long before you broke even on your first location?

    On a positive note you have the numbers going the right way. That said with a gross sales of $12,000 a month it would be a very hard for anybody to break even. Using the one thirds rule, leaves you $4,000 to cover everything apart from labour and food costs. Given your hoped for $500 a day...

    Coupon customers review a Fresno Pizzeria/Beer outlet

    I know before you say anything, I’m flogging a dead horse, Groupon’s different, etc etc… Says it all about "coupon customers" to me. Posted on Trip Advisor.... “I’ve lived in Fresno over 7 years now, and had never heard of ************until I purchased a local groupon type...

    Online Order Companys

    PCI compliance is about the most important aspect when it comes to an online ordering system. Why? How about this… If you accept credit cards for payment, whether it be on line or in store, and your system is NOT PCI compliant, subsequently a “breach” occurs and your customers card numbers are...

    Cheaper pizza for Canadians on the horizon

    Yeah, due to my blend being only 50% mozza I figure I would save less than 10c per pizza… That’s at the high end of a 10% rebate…

    Cheaper pizza for Canadians on the horizon

    Spent a couple of hours on phone today with various Gov agencies. Ended up talking direct to the CDC. The new milk class , 3D, will be for mozzarella ONLY. The actual percentage rebate has yet to be determined? and or announced. When I suggested it would be the same as the 5A license ( approx...

    Groupon

    So Piper, an explanation of my madness… There isn’t one lol… You have to understand that I am so crazed I “fire” customers. I average two a month. What get’s you “fired”? Trying to BS us about making a mistake taking the order. Bullshit. We read the order back TWICE. ( I swear you could read the...

    Groupon

    BINGO… I just re-read the previous post’s and had missed that… Or to put it a different way… There will be an extra charge for a “half order”… Kind of a common practice eh? Your logic could be applied to any menu item on any menu. Hamburger and fries cost’s less than Hamburger and a separate...

    Groupon

    I think I just got it… I mean the underlying basic difference in our thought process… You goal is to increase volume thus increasing profit. My goal is to increase profit with as little volume (work) as possible. Taking it to an extreme… My ideal would be to sell ten pizzas a month vs a few...

    Groupon

    Western Canadian customers are different? I’m really starting to believe there might be a big difference in the thought process of consumers in different areas? It would appear from a number of responses here that if the above results occurred at your store from a coupon, that would be unusual...

    Groupon

    Ah hah, the madness spreads… Will it work? Absolutely, with some caveats… You better have a better product than the coupon guys. You better give better service. ( Like calling at least every tenth customer back to verify their food arrived on time, was hot, was what they ordered etc etc). Area...

    Groupon

    Or one could say I am welcoming 100% full price money to walk in the door every day of the week vs 6 days a week… Enough. We disagree. Let’s agree to disagree lol… My theory works for me like your dough recipe works for you. I might not agree with your dough recipe, no matter. Works for you. As...

    Groupon

    Ok guys, I give. I know I operate in a very different fashion to the accepted norm. I will quit trying to change the world and will keep my thoughts re this subject to myself after this post. Last comment/justification, I opened a second location in the city. There is Little Caesars all the way...

    Groupon

    Mr Donner, if I had ever had the slightest inclination to hire your services you have just sealed the deal that will never occur… Yes, coupon marketing at it’s best. Jesus, maybe my customers are somehow different but I assure you if I could even bring myself to look them in the eye after doing...
