I got a postcard in the mail from this company called Restaurant Payment Club. It says that they are a specialty division of Card Payment Direct. Their website is www.restaurantpayclub.com. Their numbers and offer seem pretty good, unless I’m missing something. Have any of you guys heard of...

Does anybody know of any restaurant inventory applications that are available for smartphones? I have an android phone was searching for some type of app like this but couldn’t find one. I think an app like this would be great if it had the right features. I know there’s inventory software for...

Currently I don’t have subs and salads on my menu. I recently was approached by the owner of a well-known and popular sub franchise in my area. He wants to co-brand with one of my pizza shops and have me sell their subs. It would be a little different than one of their typical franchises. No...

I’m looking into ordering some magnets. In the past I’ve always planned on getting magnets, but for no specific reason, I just haven’t even though I know they are great advertising tool. So now that I’m finally getting around to doing it, I have a couple of questions for those of you that use...

A few weeks ago I got my pizza prep unit fixed. It’s now working great and cooling to around 35 degrees. I’m happy I finally got it working right but it’s now brought about another problem. The cheese in the bottom of the bin is now getting soggy and turning some of the cheese to mush. It’s...

Here’s the situation that occurred: This happened towards the end of the night. I had myself, my brother and one other employee working for me. I was getting ready to go out on a delivery and decided to check the computer to see how much we had done for the night so far. I then headed out on...

I thought I’d pass this along for those of you that have Facebook fan pages. Last month I came across a website that provides a free social media dashboard that allows you to manage your Facebook, Twitter and other social media accounts. The website is: http://www.hootsuite.com/ I use it to...

I’m looking to add boneless wings to my menu. Is there a frozen product out there that can go straight from the freezer into the fryer? For those of you have them, how do you do your boneless wings?

The thermostat controls on my Pizza Prep Table got messed with so I now I need to readjust them, but I’m not 100% confident in what the cut in and cut off settings need to be. It is an 8 foot long Randell unit. The compressor has a Ranco thermostat. What do you guys have your unit’s cut in and...

I’ve read different posts that have talked about changing your Facebook URL to a vanity URL but never seen anyone explain how to do it. (ex: your default url might be http://www.facebook.com/pages/XYZPizza/233101648663. A vanity URL would be http://www.facebook.com/XYZPizza) I figured out how...

Now that the weather is getting better here in Upstate, NY, I’m going to start door hanging next week. I’m excited to get out there and start pounding the pavement again! Tonight I got thinking about what type of door hanging strategy I want to use. Strategy #1: Break the city up into groups of...

I just got a flyer in the mail today for a direct mail/print company called Mail Shark. Do any of you guys have any experience with this company? Their weekly mailing program seems like a great deal. With this program they have a schedule where they send out 6x9 postcards, 11x17 menus with a...

Back years ago when I used to buy Grande cheese they gave me some free cups for measuring cheese. They had various lines on them for the different ounce measurements and one side was for shredded cheese with the other for diced. Does anyone know of any companies that sell something similar to...

Hi guys, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I came across a pretty cool alternative for anyone that’s on a tight budget and can’t afford a walk-in-cooler. A couple of weeks ago my cooler started crapping to bed (it wasn’t getting below 55 degrees). It was a small, older style wooden walk in...

I am a long time reader of The Think Tank and love the fact that we have a free forum to share ideas with each other. There aren’t too many free sites like PMQ.com around. I visit the pmq.com everday and will continue to be a lifelong reader. I am often scouring the internet in search of...

I got a visit from a lady tonight who is looking to place a large order for May 8th & 9th. The food is for an employee appreciation night at a nursing home. She is looking to purchase 55 Large Pizzas and 960 Wings. The catch is that she is going around to all of the local pizza establishments...

Thursday night some lowlifes broke into one of my shops. They stole 3 of my computers and clipped all of the wires. Unfortunately they stole my main server computer that has my pos program on it. They also stole my cash drawer. It was empty but I’m a little upset that my manager shut the drawer...

Here’s my situation: I’m in the process of opening a 3rd location. I’m leasing a space in a plaza/strip mall. It was formerly a Chinese restaurant that closed a couple of months ago. I figured this would be an easy switch to a pizza shop. All the gas hookups I need are there, they left the...

Here is an article about a restaurant in Brooklyn that makes a deep fried pizza: http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2 … izza_3.php They take a cold slice flour it up, dip it in batter, and throw it in the fryer. It sounds like an instant heart attack but I’d love to try it and I’m pretty...
