    What is your pizza history? How did you end up where you are?

    I think it may still be the same person…I know he started working with Dominos in Michigan, but not sure if he was ever a franchisee in Michigan. He developed multiple areas for Dominos, one of his first big ones was in Ohio and I thought Columbus and his most recent was in Louisiana &...

    What is your pizza history? How did you end up where you are?

    I have not met Richard (I have met Glen - brother and long time business partner), but he deserves almost as big of a place in the history of Dominos and the delco concept as does Monoghan. He, or folks in his company are credited with so many innovations and he was the embodiment of everything...

    What is your pizza history? How did you end up where you are?

    Is this all you have done with your life Bodegahwy? This should be taken as the sarcasm that it is. Good topic and interesting to know the backgrounds and context of the members here. I am 39 - going on 95! No kids, no wife, just wonderful team members to keep track of. 1993-1999: 6 Years in...

    How many hours do you work per week?

    @jokergerm - thanks for the feedback! I am more in Lenny’s shoes, just building now, so I probably won’t be “blessed” with this problem for a while, but it is still good to be thinking about. I am constantly asking myself what the proper balance between letting my staff grow and make mistakes...

    help me choose wireless speakers and security system

    Yes, certainly before the ceiling is up! We ran all of our wiring AFTER our electrical (rough in and final I believe) inspections - but with ceiling open, then put ceiling tile up and had our building final. No one ever asked, but I completely understand your concern. Our plans showed where...

    How many hours do you work per week?

    Joker - does your farm play a role in your pizza operations? Or are these completely unrelated? Also, you make a good point about the busier operations and yes there isn’t that much time to slack off and cause trouble when you get higher volume, but at what point did you start distancing...

    what makes you special?

    First I agree with many of the recent posters, you have to offer the best possible service. Most of us here are independents, or small franchisees and we need to be providing service as part of our distinguishing (Unique Selling Proposition - USP if you prefer) characteristics of our businesses...

    help me choose wireless speakers and security system

    I recently did a new build out (only 1000 sq feet and some outside cameras) and we installed a wired 16 camera video system from www.lorextechnology.com ourselves. It was “relatively” simple to setup and has served us well. There can be so much variance in video system’s that it is hard to tell...

    Going from 6 to 7 days a week

    Hi Jay, Good luck with this new venture! A few things to think about… Is this store closed on Sunday for any religious or cultural reasons. I know there are some communities that I have looked at where NOTHING is open on Sunday because the the business would be rejected by and large the other...

    Thanks registered guest. I will look into it further and ask more questions. I am going through an audit right now, so I am losing my ability to be surprised, however not looking to intentionally do anything improper.

    BE CAREFUL

    I am not an internet security expert or a PR expert, however my day job is as a software consultant so I have a solid grasp of the technical details. First, there is little danger in someone having a list of email addresses. Email addresses can also be obtained by any entry level hacker by...

    John - What items have you found that work well from Costco for you?

    BE CAREFUL

    Would it be appropriate to send out an email warning users that this did not come from PMQ and warn them against clicking on the link? Getting the email itself is relatively harmless, but clicking on the link could expose users to more harmful things. Many may not know of the risk unless they...

    BE CAREFUL

    Yes, thanks. The email I received is fairly non-descript and I did not even immediately associate it with my PMQ login until I saw Piedad’s post.

    BE CAREFUL

    I received a similar email. I haven’t looked into the details of it.

    Independent Contractor Drivers

    I understand that reporting tips as income is a requirement, but I don’t believe it is my requirement as the employer. Every store and every owner I have worked for in the past, we never collected tip information from our drivers, but instead we left that responsibility up to the individuals. Am...

    Independent Contractor Drivers

    First congratulations! It sounds like you have some great “problems” to solve. Bodegawhy has made most of the great points concerning liability. I would add one more thought. It seems like if someone is really an independent contractor, they would be responsible for their own insurance -...
