    Groupon

    No specials/coupons here. Same prices, same published menu every single day. Both locations. Identical prices every day. Every week. Never a coupon. Or if it makes you feel better: same “sale price”, every day, every week. If a new Chevy cost’s the same today as it did last week, like it will...

    What are paying your top cooks these days?

    Man it’s a different world up here in the great white north… Start high school kids training to answer phones/prep at $10.50 for first couple weeks. $12 within a month. Cooks start at $14. Opener/cook/closer manager $3,000 month, five weeks paid vacation, medical, $3,000 credit once a year for...

    Groupon

    So if I understand correctly… The customers attracted by coupons don’t come back? You mean to say they are fickle and only buy from places that coupon? Next thing you know you will be telling me you all have regular Tuesday night customers that call every week and order your Tuesday “Special”...

    Negotiating with Vendors

    I appreciate what you are saying. Just not the way I do business. Understood it is the norm. Just don’t agree with it myself. I agree we could probably save some money following that route. Choose to have my managers spend that time on customer follow up, quality control and other areas that...

    Negotiating with Vendors

    The concept of buying from the cheapest source after openly make them fight for your low profit business is alien to me. I actually find it offensive. Would you want to enter into a business deal with somebody on that basis? Cheapest is never best in the long run. Think that guy in the stupid...

    Designing an online ordering system for pizzerias

    From my point of view any on line ordering system better had integrate 100% with my POS. If I have to check anything, enter anything, any benefit has vanished. Really believe you are starting a war that can not end on a positive note…

    Pizza Boxes

    $31.86 for a hundred?? I dream of such a price… I recently switched my box order to a local independent supplier that has them made in China. He supplies Sysco who then warehouses them for me. I spent a few months trying to find a local supplier who could give me a three colour box, B flute...

    franchise

    If having two stores makes me part of the Borg, I’m guilty lol… Franchised without the rules or a head telling the body what to do.

    That would have been my post that showed the arrest record etc that was subsequently posted by Royster and let stand. I was told it was deleted due to nothing positively linking the person/mug shot in the link and Shimmmer. I was not happy.

    How many of you guys pan your pizzas?

    Well I’m sure if I ran my heavy load pie through at 465 for 12min and 20 seconds it would be done as well. In fact I know it would be burnt. Different pie than yours. Not saying better, just different . At our new second location the brand new XLT 3255 is set at 460, 9:30. Cooks the “mid load”...

    How many of you guys pan your pizzas?

    I think you mean “de-pan” the pizzas… We do this with our larger heavy topping pies. Take them out of the pan and use a peel to put back in conveyor. Helps to crisp the crust and finish baking that “Ultimate” loaded pie. We use XLT conveyors and stacking pans… Why? Absolutely no way can you...

    Helping A Friend

    Quote… “The $5 medium pizza is the only deal that I know is a huge discount. He sells his large pizza at $9.99, and toppings at $1.50 each. So, I wouldn’t really say it’s a dirt cheap pizza place. The other pizzerias around are selling their pizza for $10.50 or so, which isn’t much more.” Trust...

    Thank you George. I purchased the MM’s this morning . Got the double Stack , 2010 models, for considerably less than half new.

    MM520PSg. Vs. Star Hollman UM1833

    Looking at these ovens as secondary kinda backups to my XLT 3255. Any input,experience greatly appreciated. Obviously the volume ability isn’t even in the same ballpark as the XLT, more concerned with bake quality and consistency.

    Cheese first or last?

    Our “rule of thumb”… Meats and any toppings that tend to burn go under the cheese. Wet toppings on top.

    Just to clarify: Marcus has tried the approach that I only paid for Recon Ovens vs Refurb. He conveniently has tried to forget his salesperson offered the Refurbs at Recon pricing to “close the deal”. This is documented. Secondly, as there salespeople realize what they have got involved with...
