    While I'm asking....

    Thanks… yeah they seem best build quality. Length the machine can hold a slice and retain quality is my main focus. Obviously has to be humidity controlled. Just wondering if there was some new magic out there lol…

    Reducing bake time

    Hi all, basically retired a few years ago so have not been around. Been asked by my GM to help out with increasing volume of ovens. Question… we sell a heavily topped pie, dual XLT 3270 split deck ovens, pies take 9 minutes avg. Some require “pushing back in” for another minute at least. Nothing...

    How often do customers complain about sliding cheese?

    Not required IF you have your cooks be careful with the sauce spread. If the cheese has to float on sauce it will slide. It will also slide right off the slice and burn your lip when you bite into it… Minimum of 1/2" of cheese overlap onto un-sauced crust so it can hold on!

    We did a discounted pizza experiment on friday, pleased with results

    Long time since I’ve posted here… Retired a couple years ago and son now runs both stores. I’m liking that I see a movement building here towards zero discounts/zero coupons. Never issued a coupon. Never will. Printed Menu prices, period. Same price for all every day. It has definitely worked...

    Do you charge automatic gratuity for large tables?

    100% guaranteed for sure way to make me avoid your establishment (even if I’m eating alone). A view also held by anybody I know. That said, I usually tip anywhere from 10 to 20% depending on the service I get. MY CHOICE…

    1st Year Sales

    Man I have to tip my hat to you… “really small residential town about 3,500 on a really busy 2 lane road, about 22,000 cars daily.” and you decide to open up a pizzeria when there is two indies and two franchises in that small town already? Wow. You must have huge faith in your product. I like...

    what sould i add to a can of stanislaus saporito

    what sould i add to a can of stanislaus saporito

    As usual, it appears we do it very differently… Add water to the sauce? Never. Full Red with some spices. We spent a lot of time developing handling/storage/prep methods for all our toppings to reduce the moisture, to then add water to the sauce would kinda defeat all that no?

    cheese prices...how much you pay?

    $3.75 a pound here in the great white north for block mozza. Shred/blend in house. Small local supplier. Sysco can’t touch price even though we buy everything else through them.

    Acceptable amount of mistakes?

    Thank you all for the replies. Got Rocks, I am 100% onside with you. Cost is approaching $1,000 month. I am not willing to accept any mistakes. I have posted the “total washout” that a mistake actually costs us for all staff to see. I just wanted some other opinions as to what might be an...

    Acceptable amount of mistakes?

    As we get busier we seem to be making more mistakes. I am aware that mistakes will happen, however, what amount is “acceptable”? As in per 100 orders are two mistakes kinda the norm? 10? My one location is running close to zero. Other (busier) is running around 3 per hundred. Am I too demanding...

    managing your store vs working a position

    As stated, you are most assuredly the exception to the rule… Having said that, you have to “build up a crew” so you can go away for a for a few days? We all do things differently. My goal was to have a business that payed me while the EMPLOYEES worked. Isn’t that why somebody would want to own a...

    managing your store vs working a position

    I just realized I missed a key component of what you have to plan for. No paycheque for a minimum of first year. Yes, I’m serious. If you are planning to take a paycheque within first twelve months you better understand that your business plan needs to incorporate having that expected annual...

    managing your store vs working a position

    You have to do/be aware of everything yourself. At first. Once established it is false economy to replace a $15 an hour employee ( approx $2,700 a month total cost ) with yourself. It will cost you WAY more than that in mistakes, decisions being made by staff, instead of you, while your too busy...

    Hobart Dough Mixer Safety Guard

    http://www.wasserstrom.com/restaurant-supplies-equipment/Product_584811 Found this when our local Workers Compensation Board got a new inspector and he went on a mission with local pizzerias. Never bought it. I managed to get him to realize that most pizzerias wouldn’t know what one was, let...
