Hi Piper, I hear ya, I’m trying to think outside the box here. Maybe come on as an employee, or even lease the kitchen space if it’s a bar not using their kitchen or would like someone to lease it. I have met one person who leases kitchens at legion halls that do well with take out and delivery...

Hi Everyone, Well I learned a lifetime of lessons on my first venture that was coupled with our economy woes. As you all may know Hannah Bananas is closed, the good news is there are a couple prospects looking at my property for lease purchase option. So, I have my oven, make and press and...

Hi All, Due to my new heart condition we are sad to be closing. We know it’s tough out there, and we have several pieces that someone may be able to use. I’m not gonna list them all here because I think that’s another thread. Anyway just email [email protected] with items your...

Hey Rockstar, I remember running across a study on percentage off. If I remember correctly the best return for you is 15% off. The way it was formulated is your sales went up and your labor costs came down a bit because of volume. Maybe use that for the single deal and go for the combo for...

Thanks Everyone, I saw our local radio station rep in the restaurant last night and got 700.00 of a month for 3200 Spots! Thanks for the advice. 🙂 You guys rock. And yes, I’ve been slacking on my internet marketing, on it right now. Happy Fathers Day!

Thanks Paul

Hi, If you have a liquor, or even just a beer and wine lic. your deck is a gold mine. I have no idea what they are looking at, but if it’s a back road, sidewalk or water, you need to have full service out there. With any change you should promote the heck out of it, maybe even do a full color...

And you might get more residual sales when they come to redeem the voucher.

I too have a space issue, so I gave my baker my dough recipe and he makes it for me. I pay 1$ for a 16oz dough-ball. It may be a little high but I think flour just shot up here for some reason and it’s extremely convenient for me.

One thing I have learned here Royster is value verses profit. I agree with you, and plan to move them instead of them getting dusty. I agree 100% my Candian friend. Gratz on the Olympics well done!

Awesome post Steve thank you. I will move in that direction. Until then i will sell T-shirts and mugs. I got a PM that I should sell re-fill-able cups and discount the re-fills for return guests...

OK Then, If it’s not family at this time of our economy, I suggest not doing it. If it’s family, don’t make them a partner and make sure they don’t expect a return for at least 2 maybe 3 years. You need deep pockets, especially these days to market market market. Look at the posts here about...

Welcome to the wild ride brah, keep your arms inside the ride at all times.

I know a lot of you guys have no room or resources, but offering items out of the mainstream seems to be working here in the Poconos. I sell burgers, steaks, tons of chicken and even Chinese. Also, as is well known on these boards I always boast about our superior ingredients. I chose not to...

OK, I was told by another pizza guy near me was, “punch out” dough comes in a variety of sizes and forms frozen depepending an what bun, roll or pizza skin you want. Then you place them out on sheets, then bake when thawed? Lol, it’s driving me crazy too. I don’t know if you remember my...
