2015 was a crazy year for me. Sales are the highest i’ve ever had, lost 3 key employees (They moved on to careers in their college degrees) I knew they would be leaving this year, and I was very nervous how things would go without them. They’ve been with me for over 6 years and I counted on them...

I’ve never used deck ovens in my store, but I like the idea of using them. My 1st store is too busy for me to switch to decks, but my new store will not be as busy and the kitchen is very small. I found these Peerless Multi Deck ovens and they look like they would fit great. I am wondering how...

I have a two XLT 1832s in my current store. We are doing $11-$12k a week with them. I think we could do more with bigger ovens, well maybe not more sales, but provide faster service. I can do the calculators to figure out each size differance, but what it really comes down to is during our...

So this 2nd location is turning into more than I thought it would and am now buying the building. When I started the process to buy the building, I assumed it would be just like a home mortgage. I am not financing any of the equipment or build-out, I am just buying the building. I have 20% to...

So I am about to open a 2nd location and was running low on my gift cards at location #1. I decided to add the address and phone number for both locations to the cards since they are close enough that customers could sometimes order from one sometimes the other. I am putting the same POS system...

Those who own their own buildings, do you have them in a separate llc or the same as the business? I used to work for a restaurant that had The business as lets say ABC Kitchen and the property was owned by XYZ Properties, both the same person.

When I got my new building, there were two clothing collection bins in the very small parking lot. I called the company Usagain, and asks for them to be removed. They said it would be a week or two. So after three weeks I called again and they said it would be that day or the next. 3 days later...

Anyone running a store without a walk-in cooler? If so how do you do it? The new store has a 60" makeline cooler and a 2 door stand-up. I can fit in another single door, maybe a 2 if needed. My main store has a walk-in and if we have to I was thinking maybe we would have some items delivered to...

Does any one have a suggestion for a good source for a wall bench. I plan putting one against one of my walls and spacing tables out along it. Then I can push the tables closer for large groups. Also this is my 1st dine in space, it’s pretty small, but what is a good size table to accommodate...

I am opening a 2nd location in a small town and got the building from the cafe owner who was going out of business. I negotiated the purchase with her so that the closing on the building is Dec. 2106, I can rent the space until then and the 1st 2 months are free or rent starts the day I open...

I am starting my new location (after 9.5 years I’m finally getting a 2nd store!) It’s in a very small town and I am trying to do it on cheap. I have an extra set of Lincoln 1832’s that are 3-phase. I just found out my building is single phase and it would cost $15,000 to get 3-phase service. My...

When you opened your 2nd store, how did you set it up for taxes and accountant. I am currently an LLC and have an accountant who does my taxes and payroll. I use Quickbooks to record everything and at the end of the year give a thumb drive of my QB file to the account. I can’t decide how to set...

I am working on a 2nd store that is very small. I planned on making dough at my 1st store, balling and traying and taking it to the 2nd (8 miles away). I don’t know if this is even legal. My other option is to bite the bullet and buy a mixer for store 2, but with no walk-in I wondering how my...

Hi Guys, I am working on setting up a 2nd location in a small town. The kitchen is pretty small, about 500sqft. It is also designed really weird in a triangle shape with alot of wasted space. If you have pictures or layouts of how you set up in a small space, I’d really appreciate it. I’m used...

why in the middle of summer am I getting cases of unrippened tomatoes? Shouldn’t they be at there best right now?

I am having issues with people claiming they asked off after the schedule is done. For the last nine years our system has been to fill out a little form and put it in an envelope that’s next to the schedule. Apparently I need to do something that has a copy for them or something. Does anyone...

When I first opened I had a Movie Gallery, Gas Station, and Karate Studio next to me. Now, I have a Gas Station, U.S. Cellular, A church, and the karate studio is being remodeled into a physical therapy office. There is also a new building next to mine with a 24 hour gym, chain family salon, and...
