We shred a case of block cheese using our Hobart with a shredding wheel directly into our bus buckets - 4 loaves to a bin, with a lid. I found if we put a baking parchment sheet on the top before the lid goes on, if any moisture condenses on the top, the parchment keeps it from dripping back in...

We have owned our Pizza shop for 9 years. At the time, all the equipment needed replacing and the first thing we bought was a reconditioned IceOMatic which we got from a local (2.5 hrs away) Restaurant equipment dealer. We also bought a brand new ice bin – I think it was doing 500 lbs of ice a...

what I find interesting in our 9 years of our small Pizza shop is that everyone has a different opinion of what a ‘cooked’ pizza should look like! I have some customers that want that edge LIGHT golden brown, and others that want it looking so dark its almost burnt. I find I can’t please...

although this is an older thread, I’d like to share what a small Mom & Pop pizza shop uses. We buy the full pan sized parchment papers, 2/3 of it fits our take & bake pizzas, so those are used for that, the remaining 1/3 is cut in half and stacked for lining our 10" small pizza box, then for the...

Add to your information, remember also that beet sugar is GMO and cane sugar is not. We’ve always used the cane sugar which its getting more and more difficult to locate! WE used to always pick up 25lb bag of C&H at Costco, now its hit or miss if they have it at all. Hope this additional bit of...

Ok, I’m about 3 months late in the ‘new’ game just logged in today for the first time in months! That being said, I discovered the reason the new forum would not accept my password is because the new system has a minimum number of characters which was ONE more than my previous password… I...

WE use the SAF Instant and we’ve never had any problem buying it. I tend to agree its the consumer lines that ran out, never the commercial lines of yeast.

Thanks, this is like the 3rd time in 9 yrs I don’t log in for over 6 months and VOILA the forum has changed… I’m lost all over again! But just so you know, I finally made it in. Frustrating however my old login password would not work, the system needed one more character… so maybe that is why...

This is what we do too. The red sauce is free as xtra sauce, but the pesto and alfredo sauces are already charged as an extra topping due to their high cost, and those two are not available as an extra side anyways. What gets asked for typically are the red sauce, ranch and blue cheese. I...

we keep our pesto refrigerated because we’re such a small shop in such a remote small town, the pesto orders are maybe one a week up to maybe one a day… it would have to be a rather large opening to just squeeze it out. (our cheat is we buy the pesto basil from Costco because we just don’t do...

I’m not talking about a split sauce where they’re doing 1/2 red sauce and the other 1/2 pesto. This is a case where someone orders a standard pizza off of our menu and says they want pesto. So we make it with pesto, instead of red sauce… when served they question, “Where is the red sauce?” So it...

I must say, I’ve been tempted over the years… we’ve had a perfect score for 6 full years, starting our 7th year in the spring… I just could never bring myself to do it… but like I said, ‘tempted’!!!

We’ve done a lot of fixes this way… even parts on our vehicles… its outrageous when you know you need a $1 part, I’d be willing to pay up to $10, but when they charge $50 bucks with a whole bunch of other parts not needed… well that’s it I won’t go down that alley!!!

I hate to say it, it boils down to having to install security cameras in the kitchens, so that you can call them on their chaos when you are gone so they know they cannot get away with that… we are just a mom/pop shop with a son who wants to take over and open one or two locations in a denser...

We signed up for Elavon with a Costco membership. what I hated was after the chip card requirement came in play was the cost of the terminal. So we’re stupid because we are leasing the terminal, we could not justify paying $500 for a machine that previously was provided free with our merchant...

Well quite ironically, we did just start with the MS through Costco – just signed up with them 2 weeks ago… Elavon. And to date we have used it just a week in and it sucks! It turns out they put us on a “daily billing” type of account… I don’t know where or why they did this, and its a record...

our Bakers Pride ovens, are designed to be two decks per oven, if you ordered that way… if the screen extends the whole length of the oven, then its for the brick to lay on. There is a heating element in the top, in the center and then in the bottom designed to heat the brick and cook the top of...

We just used Italian seasoned bread crumbs. works both for heavy veggie pizzas as well as reducing the grease.

And I can attest to living in a community that cuts its nose off in spite of its face because they want to keep us ‘small’ but what they don’t realize is they’re creating a situation that this town is soon to become a ghost town… there’s really nothing left for tourists to do here! In fact...

Also, make sure that the service from the Electric company is set for 3 phase! When we moved across the alley 3 years ago, it required the PUD to come out and add 3 phase supply to the building!!! So make sure you’ve got the right service supplied to your building… you could have it connected...
