I’m thinking about introducing pastas into the store. It seems with the additional customers subs has produced, menu expansion is a good boost to significantly increase sales. However, if I were to do pastas in my store it’d have to be operationally efficient. Who’s selling pastas? and can you...

Sorry I haven’t been on the past couple days. We had a little ice storm over here. It knocked out electricity at my store Mon night, Tues, Wed, and half of Thurs. I just got power back at home today. Anyway, sales are getting stronger so I’m getting a little more breathing room. I’m still here…...

I’m sure a few of you deal with Pepsi as your vendor. Can any of you tell me if they’re requiring a minimum purchase for delivery (i.e. 4 cases, etc.)? If so, are they replacing bottles that are getting close to the expiration date to ensure freshness? I’d like to get some input from you guys...

Minimum wage is increasing for all states on Tuesday. If your state is one that has not issued a mandated minimum wage increase, federal minimum wage of $5.85/hr. goes into effect on Tuesday. Just a reminder. -J_r0kk

Who’s going to the Orlando Pizza Show this year?

Hey guys, Just a reminder that school is closing in quickly. If you haven’t started bidding on school lunch programs you might be missing the boat. I’d advise you get on that as soon as possible. Also, re-acquaint yourselves with your school night contacts from last year and start hashing out...

Hey guys, Sorry I haven’t been as active in the forum as usual. We’re in the homestretch of opening store #2 and store #1 has been demanding lately with the additional sales and events so my time is very limited. I still check in every other day or so but haven’t posted often because the advice...

For those of you who go straight to the forum section and skip the front page of this site, read on. This is a fantastic article written by J. Scott Wilson, a staff writer for ThePittsburgChannel.com: Each man, woman and child in the country eats an average of 46 slices of pizza per year...

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. PJ’s just opened up in my area on Saturday. Poor Domino’s, Ceasars, and Pizza Hut. They’re not gonna know what hit 'em. I passed by Domino’s tonight and there were 4 crew members BS’ing on the side of the store in the parking lot. It looked like they had...

I just got my flyers in from www.gotprint.com . I’ve just got one word to say: DAYUM! Seriously, I’m not lying… they’re awesome. They’re high gloss and actually thicker than I would’ve imagined. Anyway, if anyone’s interested in getting boxtoppers printed relatively cheap, there’s a good source...

What’s the latest and the greatest with the store? -J_r0kk

Whoaaaaa!!! I just saw a post from you today. I thought you’d slipped off the face of the earth or something. What’s going on with you and how’s the new place coming along? Are you operational yet? -J_r0kk

As some of you might know, I’m in the process of building my second store. I’ve been filming a video biography of the entire build process for my own personal files. Recently however, I came across the coolest site called youtube. I’m sure most of you have at least heard of it. Anyway, I decided...

Of course, it’s been a bit of a debate as to which way is the best way to portion pizzas… namely the cheese. I’ve re-discovered a way to cheese a pizza, and though it’s not completely accurate (and to those of you who want complete accuracy with the amount of cheese put on the pizzas I challenge...

Hey guys, Here’s something new I wanna throw at you. Please give me some input if you’ve ever done this before (and results) and if you have ideas to make it better. The idea would be something like a “NEIGHORHOOD OF THE WEEK” where you advertise with neighborhood-specific flyers and doorhang...

Does anyone know where I can get quarry tile for the floors? I’m looking for the same type of design used in the old Domino’s stores before they upgraded. It can also be found in older Subway restaurants. Thanks guys, -J_r0kk P.S. Cheap is nice.

I’ll be in the Denver area Thurs and Fri to pick up a makeline. Any operators out there want a visit? -J_r0kk

Okay guys, here’s the scoop on my Customer Appreciation Day ($3.99 Large Pizza): Although the store looked great when I got there this morning with streamers across the parking lot, streamers and balloons in the interior; I noticed a stack of my $3.99 flyers sitting on one of the tables. It was...

Tyson, How’s that PJ’s intrusion?

Just a reminder to those living and working in smalltown USA: The time is now to get ready for your springtime/summertime carnivals and festivals. I know every small town has one or two and the whole town/county participates. Every carnival/festival has food vendors and getting in now would be...
