I started taking online orders in Dec and got about 45 orders that month. Now I get 150+ a month and it’s already over 7% of my $$$ sales volume. My system is not integrated with a POS but will be when I next update my POS system. YOU MUST do this sooner or later to compete… might as well do it...

I purchased an Auto Fry System MTC-40 (double unit) a month after I bought my place. I felt strongly that not having deep fried appetizers, french fries, wings, desserts was a little like not being diviersified in my investments. Within a month I was sure happy that I had purchased the double...

Consider co-oping a PIZZA promotion with a Community or Charitable cause in a way that will benefit both of you. A High School, A Church, Local Charity, whatever… the short and long term benefits to you are imeasurable Here’s an idea for one to benefit a local HS (or college) Football team...

I have coverage through Program Underwriters Inc, Tampa. Fl (800-282-2033) It costs me $5755 all inclusive annually.

TY for the reply… We charge $3 delivery fee… drivers get it all, plus tips and $ 6.50 wage. Each (of 3 drivers) is getting around 70 deliveries a week over 35 hrs. In all, delivery is about 30% of my business. When not driving, they do EVERYTHING, from boxes to dishes to phones and prep. They...

Those "details’ make it more understandable. Since you are providing and paying for the “fleet” expenses, what is your delivery chage and who get what between you an the drivers. Iv’e though of doing it in whole or in part as well andcould get more drivers (retiree’s) if I provided the vehicle...

Ah… but the devil is in the details. Check with your agent to see what non-owned policy endorsements say regarding the type of insurance that the drivers are required to carry. That’s where the surprise is. If they don’t carry “delivery insurance” you will find (as I did) that your deductable is...

The Cape Coral market runs the whole gambit, as does my competition. We are in the downtown area of an average size city with every chain and lots of independents. Our customers include seasonal tourists, retirees, and proportionate blue and white collar workers. We are highly dependent on the...

Ok, I’ll admit up front that I’m hunting down new ideas. In turn, anyone interested in what I’m doing can visit www.salspizzaparlor.com That said, can anyone recommend some independently owned killer websites that also feature online ordering. My own is doing 5% of my sales after 7 months or...

#1. First, find a new agent ASAP! #2. The rate will varey depending on a number of factors but will wind up in the $4k-6K range. Pay it from the part of a delivery fee that you keep. #3. Non-owned is only one line of defense. Be very aware that your policy will almost certainly require the...

NO… you let him/her buy it individually and you reimburse him as a perk

A Non-Owned Insurance Policy on you drivers is a must but it’s not enough. You need to require that your drivers be incident free for the prior 24 months and require that they carry an individual policy that cover “pizza delivery”… otherwise your non-owned policy only kicks in after you pay a...

I have an extra driver… me. I’m a backup mostly but I replace anyone who might needs 😃 short suspension for a reality check!

We use only extra virgin olive oil in our sauce. It’s no a huge amount (in fact it’s 50% less that the amount of blended oil that we once used). The whole idea of using is to form a thin but effective resistance to other forms of moisture in other toppings that can make your dough soggy. Even...

:lol: Send me your plan… I love pleasing my customers any way I can.

We do about 30% delivery on sales of about 1.1M. I employ 3 adult drivers (32 hrs ea p/wk). They are paid 6.50 p/hr and each driver averages another $7 per delivery from a combination of tips and a delivery fee ($3 per delivery). They usually average 2.5 deliveries per hour for avg hourly gross...

I’ve been taking orders online now for a month and a half. I love it. It’s not going to replace all the phone calls anytime soon but it is already cutting into them and average checks are higher with web based orders for sure. The “how much”, “fax me a menu”, and “what are your specials” calls...

It would have been a whole lot easier to have forseen the dilema and priced the buffet at $6.69 to average out those who use cards and those who don’t (and you still can). Life is short…keep it simple! 😃
