    food Cost

    We recently switched from Roma to Sofo as our main supplier to save on food costs. The problem with changing suppliers might be finding equivalent meats and cheese so you can serve your customers a consistent product. Paul

    Tried to take a couple of days off

    Big Holler/Point of Success Questions

    It’s great that with BigHoller we can make changes ourself but it doesn’t seem user-friendy/intuitive or easy to figure out. Some kind of manual explaining how to make changes would be very helpful. This way, those of us who are reasonably intelligent but with less of a technical backround and...

    "Special" sauce ingredients? disclose or not

    You want a box to take the food home and you want to not pay for it? Maybe they should pay for the gas you used to drive to their crappy restaurant. If this was my competitor I would tell them “the pizza is great, don’t change a thing” If you were my customer I’d grit my teeth and give you...

    My FB rant about Urbanspoon and Yelp posts

    We had 1 review on yelp at our new location “The pizza was decent and the delivery time was fair” this is the entire review So, Yelp starts calling me to advertise with them I told her " why would I want to spend $300 per month to direct people to see that we have a 3 star rating and decent...

    Dough Trays

    Thanks for all the feedback Sam, I did a crazedlist search for cities within a couple hours drive and found 40 in Austin but they look to be the cheap kind. I had bought a dozen of them brand new a while back and ended up sticking them in my storage shed because they were so slippery and...

    Hidden Valley Ranch Recipe

    Royster, I don’t recall anyone ever asking what brand of ranch we use, but if they did I think Hidden Valley Ranch probably has as good or better perceived quality than Marzetti’s. We just put it into souffle cups for dipping. We also have packets of Ranch and other dressings for our salads If...

    instant yeast trouble

    http://www.pmq.com/tt2/videos/id_181/ti … ugh-pt-1a/ There’s a video I think the main thing is to not let the instant yeast contact your cold water You can mix it with warm water if you like - or not If you’re mixing in a VCM, you should use active dry or rehydrate your instant yeast in warm...

    Thoughts on ROMA

    We’ve used them for amost 11 years now as Multifoods then Vistar then Roma now PFG The prices and products have been pretty good although we do have a 2nd supplier so we can keep them honest on the pricing. (when we used them for everything the prices seemed to go up- maybe someone got greedy)...

    Delivery charges

    We also charge $1.50 for delivery but we give the drivers 1.25 We’re leaning more towards raising the food prices a little here and there instead of raising the delivery charge to $2. Seems like this might be better for the drivers and still bring in more money. On the other hand $2 for delivery...

    Marketing to Apartments

    We have a lot of apartment complexes in our delivery area. Only a few of them will allow us to doorhang. Does anyone have any good programs you’ve done with apartment managers to get in the door? Also do mailing lists, like from melissadata, contain apartment numbers. Thanks, Paul

    Five guys burgers and fries

    It looks like there’s about 16 at least now in the Houston area. I haven’t tried them yet. Smashburger is another chain that’s popping up. I wonder if part of the reason that sales are flat is that there’s too damn many choices of places to eat.

    need a pos system

    Howdy Frank, I’ll suggest POS Pizza too. It’s a good reliable system and Scott Slater was always very great to deal with. Point of success is also good but POS Pizza can get you started alot cheaper. We started out with Paper and Pen ourselves (11 years ago) as we hadn’t much money. If you...
