Anyone work or worked for PJ? My store failed our first evaluation and a huge portion of it was because my pizzas didn’t get a score! I am determined to learn what PJ expects, but I’ve been trained what the owner expects, and apparently, my “awesome pizzas” aren’t in spec with what PJ expects...

Hey ladies and gentlemen! I took a little break from the internet and now I’m back. Things have changed for the good here. I’m still working at PJ, just at another of the franchises’ locations. I am a day runner and I work on Wednesday then Friday/Sat/Sun and my back is holding up, and the...

Here’s another one I’ve been asked to brainstorm and would appreciate input. We have recently had such a rash of returned checks, that the owner has implemented a processor that will allow us to instantly see if the check or driver license is approved via computer. The problem we’re having is...

Hey all…I don’t know about your areas, but in my neck of the woods, Red Box DVD boxes are taking off like crazy. The customer rents a DVD from the box for $1.00 a night and returns the next day. It is completely “cash-less”, using debit cards to allow the customer to rent. We have 2 in...

Before I present this idea to the owner, I wanted to see what you thought. Another person had a good idea (the one about the cold pizza), but you all came with great ideas back about what customers would and could do to mess the shop over, so that’s why I wanted to come here first. Rather than...

I would have never thought to do this, so I’m sharing it with you because our store recently fired an assistant manager for doing this. We have a POS system, and if someone cancels an order, you can cancel it in the POS. What he would do was look at the system and find the highest order for...

Hey all…pretty much same song, different day over at my place. You can’t find a job with the economy like it is…everyone has the part time jobs that would work with my schedule. I never got my hours back, and only get scheduled 10 hours a week, and of that, because we are SO dead, work about 3...

Hey all, I am fixing to resign from my job because of all the things I’ve whined about, and more that have recently happened. LOL I feel a need to “say my piece” being every time I try to defend my position, I am squelched and made to feel like my feelings are invalid. So, with that being...

Well, I guess you all can say “I told you so”. I think I’ve finally seen the straw to break my camel’s back. My nerve test results on my back say there is no damage to my nerves, and that with continued chiropractic alignments and 2 more cortisone shots, I can have a nerve ablation done to my...

Hey all, My boss wants me to work at another location of his that is in desperate need of help, and promote to GM. As you all know, when I began working for PJ last year, I just wanted a 2 day a week cook job, and then went ahead and accepted a shift manager promotion about 6 months ago, and...

Well, I don’t know if I’ve told you guys and gals, but I have been off work for 2.5 months because of my back. It is a reoccurence of an old injury, NOT a worker’s compensation issue. 40+ hours a week apparently isn’t good on it now that it’s acting up. Now, I have a new problem. Bursitis in...

Lately, we have been noticing an issue with being short about $5 to $20 in an evening. I know it doesn’t come from my “watch”, because I always count the change back manually…and then I always verify my funds before I leave. There are 2 employees we suspect, but hope it’s not deliberate. My...

We normally make 2 racks of skins for our night crew, because we use them all rather quickly…leaving the night crew not as much work in “slapping” so they can get the pies out timely. Lately, we’re in Oklahoma, mind you, it has been EXCESSIVELY humid, and our shop stays about 83º F, and the...

Here’s how my day went. UGH (This is very long so you can see the whole story and make a complete assessment…again, HONESTY is appreciated!) Remember me telling you about the 1 or 2 people resentful for me becoming a shift leader? Well, one of them is now doing some marketing for us with a...

Okay…I need some help. Lately, I’ve been having some issues with new and older employees in regards to food costs and cleanliness standards, and they’re not listening to me because I am just a shift leader. I have spoken to my boss and he says I need to speak to them about these issues, but I...

I haven’t heard back from my boss, even though he is VERY excited at the prospect of sponsoring a girl’s basketball team for my daughter and her school mates, so I thought I’d run this by you as I wait for his reply. The league fee is $350 and meets what he would like “exposure-wise” in the way...

The past 2 days, we have had a lady calling us, “comparing” us to the other pizza places in town for delivery driving. She wants a job, but called during our busiest hours wondering how we paid, how our business was, yada yada. Today, she calls for the THIRD time, wanting to know how we paid...

Wow…my first open for a pizza joint in about 6 years. Yes, they need me to be “shift leader” now…I made sure they knew I accepted it this time, so now I’ll be fill in between the days that the other guys have off. Nervous but excited at the same time. Wish me luck!

Our Friday (the 8th) was so busy, we had back to back 90+ pie hours. It was great after the Super Bowl bust I mentioned in another post, where Mother Nature stepped in and allowed our customers to have nice weather to grill in. haha I figure, being it was just the 8th, that it must have been...

I gave this idea to my boss, and he was so thrilled with it, I thought I would share it with those of you trying to increase your website ordering…run with it or don’t…just thought I’d share. He has this ongoing trivia question board, and if you get the answer correct, you get a free 20 oz...
