    Mixers- Precision

    Re: Precision We have had a Precision 60 qt for 13 years. We have Hobarts in other locations and even though we have used Hobart equipment for decades we now favor Precision over Hobart. It is a pricing issue, repair cost issue and cost of parts issue. Ever tried to have a non-Hobart repair guy...

    We are gonna be on the Travel Channel!!!

    One fine Sunday in the 90’s my wife and I were having breakfast and reading the newspaper here in Orange County, Ca. I see this “Best Pizza in Orange County” thing. I happened to know the owner. He had one location and his pizza was decent. I said out loud to myself, “Oh no!” My wife asked what...

    Switching Cheese from Grande

    there might be a couple of other ways to look at cheese and the “acceptability factor”. Perhaps different areas of the country develop different taste preferences. That is certainly true for other types of food. Years ago I was associated with a restaurant chain. In California their chili was...

    Building customer traffic

    I have been spending a few hours today thinking and working on this subject by reading everything that might relate. I checked the marketing forum for things that would trigger my mind in different directions and then the Think Tank. We know the product is at the top of list, customer servicing...

    Question for owners

    What catches my attention. When I see something that indicates the sender knows something about the business and then MY business. It seems to me that in business you must find some differentiation. How does your material or pitch differentiate itself from other marketing companies? In our...

    Coupons

    In the past I used to make the mistake in making certain judgments about aspects of my business as related to my customers. I learned that I have to be careful about looking at the world through MY rose colored glasses thinking that if I like it (food or promotions), my customers will also. My...

    I sold one of my stores to a "friend"

    I agree with bodegahwy. You are losing time and that time is going to cost you more money. I would also suspect that given the history of the guy who is operating the place I would not place much stock in a mailer turning everything around. Tell me the sales stayed the same then maybe but if the...

    I sold one of my stores to a "friend"

    There is an old saying in the restaurant business that when you sell a business and then get it back you make more money the second time you sell. Unfortunately this relates to the necessary and proper paperwork relating to the first sale. Another thing I learned many years ago is that never...

    Unbleavable

    Used to be in business in Denver, Colorado years ago. Short story sweet. Manager calls about a girl stealing. Witnesses I asked. Just the manager and asst manager. Forget it I said. Wait until you have more witnesses. People who steal always continue the practice. Manager calls. How many...

    Papa Murphy's

    Interesting comment on Papa Murphys. The landlord of our center allowed a Papa Murphy’s to locate there. Our pizzas are higher end in terms of quality, portions and price. PM has not effected our business and, frankly, they are not doing well at all. I bought a couple of pizzas just to check. I...

    SLICE SALES AT HIGH SCHOOLS anybody?

    But the Feds are not only requiring the schools to serve that junk that across the country the kids are rejecting but they are now going to fine any schools that will not do it. I talked to an administrator who works for a school district in our area. She says that they dump significant amounts...

    can anyone give me any feedback on Revention?

    We have gradually replaced our POS systems with Microworks. We have about a 4 year history with them. No complaints. Our experience has been good support and good communication. We have had two glitches in four years. One was not even their fault and the other was fixed asap. Others here have...

    Revel POS?

    Have had one system for about two years. Pizza restaurant. Have been in the restaurant business for 40+ years and many restaurants and POS systems. Revel is the worst system and company I have tried. They told me they had a pizza system up and running. Terrible, inconsistent, etc. Business-wise...
