It is my understanding that the Dodd-Frank law prohibits a payment card network such as Visa “from inhibiting the ability of anyone to provide a discount for payment by cash, checks, debit cards, or credit cards”. So it is my understanding that the law prevents any processor from preventing a...

The class code for restaurants is 9079 and most states include all workers in this class code. For a clerical person to be classified as 8810 (Clerical) they have to be totally separated from the restaurant and not enter the restaurant environment. If an employee enters the restaurant then they...

It may not be your price. It could possibly be other factors. I skied there one time back in the 1970’s so I don’t know too much about the town now. A Google search shows the population to be around 12,000 so that limits the potential buyer pool. It may simply be the fact that Steamboat Springs...

Yep Looks like it’s taken but perfect-pizza is not

Simple name that says it all …Perfect Pizza. 🙂

Some very good suggestions and I do thank you! @GotRocks, I am trying to determine several things. 1st off I am doing 2 different cheeses and I like the idea of tasting it separate like you and Tom suggested. 2nd is I am testing the take N bake concept. Pizza’s will be made in front of the...

I am having a taste testing party for around 15 ± people. My plan is to make A and B pies with same toppings. I will be using different sauce and cheese on A pie than B pie. Topping will be the same. Planning on doing a Cheese, Pepperoni, sausage, veggie, Ham and deluxe with all the fixing. I am...

Another method to do sausage is to poach them. Take a turkey roaster or large pot and bring the water to 160 to 165 degrees. Plop the sausage in and bring the Internal temp up to 160 degrees. You will not fat the sausage out and it will be nice and plump. If your water is hotter than 165 you...

It is correct that the general public does not understand economics and do not understand business. People do not understand that the business owner must pay rent, utilities, insurance, debt service on equipment/fixtures, labor, repairs, spoilage and taxes and those costs must be included in the...

Tim, I like your down home style website. Nice job!

Buying Arrizio mozzarella for $10.40 for 6 pound block. Works out to $1.73 pound or $0.11 per ounce.

Brian Williams has changed jobs and is now working in the cheese distribution industry giving quotes on cheese prices 🙂

I thank all of you that have replied. Some very useful information has been shared. PizzaPirate I do like your chart and that can be very useful. Here is another question for you all. Different toppings have different costs. If one is using 4 main meat topping such as pepperoni, ham, sausage and...

What meat portions are you using on a 14 inch pizza? I am looking for weight that you are using and not the number of slices. I am still in the research phase of opening a place and need to have a handle on costs of goods sold. I know some places advertise that they use X number of slices of...

I scan all of my receipts and keep them in folders name by company. The scans have date stamps for easy identification. I keep the hard copies grouped by week in a box in case I ever need hard copies. I also record all transactions in Quickbooks.

Breakeven point is the level of sales where profit is ZERO. Rent is a FIXED cost and should be included. If you are paying yourself a salary that is part of the VARIABLE cost of labor and should be figured in. If you would have to hire someone to do what you are doing you would figure that cost...

If $15 per hour is good then why stop there? How about $20 or $30 per hour. Heck lets get it up to $50 bucks an hour where all non skill labor can make a good living. Progressives just do not understand Capitalism and the free market place. When a McPuck hamburger costs $20 and all of the...

In your post you said that you have been open for about 7 months and you and your oven guy did not have any experience and you both figured it out together. I would suspect that you now have the experience to run the oven and that you would be capable of training someone to bake pies the way the...

I never carry cash. Only use a debit card that way I can document all my transactions.

Not only should one research the State and Local laws regarding delivering alcohol to customers one should also contact their insurance agent regarding their liquor liability insurance policy. I am working in the insurance field on the loss control side of things. I can tell you that a big RED...
