Came across this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JG7Vqldf … ure=relmfu Hope the message of ‘consistent marketing’ is ALL you take from this.

We are facing a disaster, all my staff(all excellent) all leave for university in four weeks time, been trying to recruit for the last three months withh not one application. I joked to my wife a month ago saying we would have to lcose if we can’t get any staff, now I wish I hadn’t siad it. We...

reuben - sounds perfect, they can browse your menu whilst at the coffee shop. We have a normal dispenser outside but we do have a overhang to stop the rain. We are in a low footfall location and go through about 50 menus a month, for the cost to put something out must be worthwhile.

Keep the hook offer just that, a temporary opening offer. A constant discount damages both sales and margins, double edge sword. Giving discounts doesn’t automatically get customers in, you still need to spend on marketing but as your discount make you less per order you need to be busier, so...

As with all things business, keep it simple. Design it knowing that you and staff are going to have to clean it everyday. Although I find it satisfying, the staff know its the last job of the day, they are tired after a busy shift the last thing you want is a kitchen that is difficult to clean...

The trouble with stock pictures, is you get a different style picture for each item on your menu. When you find a picture you like for each item they look fine but once put together you lose conformity and you start to look like every other pizza joint who uses the same photos. Images are so...

In our town, when an event, concert etc is advertised without consent the council slap “Cancelled” stickers all over the posters and signs that have been put up. Wouldn’t it be nice to slap “Cancelled” or “Closed” stickers these signs :lol:

Well Mark, I am happy to give it a go from a UK propsective. You can contact me at [email protected].

The other night a lady phoned up wanting a couple of small pizzas and asked “Are you pizzas as good as Dominos”. Why do people have to see large corparate brands as the bench mark for quality? After a brief lesson in quality she proceeded with the order, I chuckled to myself as I typed the...

A few months back I came for advice, desperately seeking more customers and like many others assumed having a low price means I will sell more. I took the advice and rised prices, and although it defies logic, I am selling more. The pizza, menu and marketing are still the same but are average...

I can’t see why they are selling? 160k and not having to do anything! What makes this pizza place so popular? Could you not open a store nearby, as they obviously need some competition.

Just clicked reciept and we manage with that fine, but if we were busier then I certainly would go monitor, those reciepts are bound to mess things up eventually.

Only companies that have big fan bases can be so elusive regarding their product such as apple, I still don’t know what you product does that isn’t already widely available. I get that you are offering online ordering but so many websites and POS software companies are offering this at the...

Here in the UK QR codes aren’t that popular (compared to the far east where you cant avoid them), I did think of putting one beside each pizza on our menu that would automatically add that pizza to their mobile ordering basket, but we get very few mobile orders. I did hear once of a sandle/flip...

Congrats on the ten years. Why not just use the annerversary as the promotion rather than any particular deal, you will get a boost in business just for shouting out.

Changing a picture on a website would take me about 30 seconds, buying another stock photo another couple of minutes and wouldn’t cost a small fortune. I am a big fan of the idea of using your own pictures, cameras and photoshop are so easy to use and you can easily produce professional picture...

No, I do keep an eye on the production line and the staff are all pretty experienced and know roughly how much to put on. I think you can over complicate things and slow things down if you put to many rules, as always its about finding the balance.

Rant alert! I think it is completely unreasonable and I think your 2 liter suggestion is more than a fine solution. Bringing other products into your facilty is ridiculous. You are there to sell your products, you wouldn’t have people bringing dominos pizzas to then sit in your nice resturant...

Nice to read a positive message after a busy shift!
