My username, password (even if hashed), e-mail address and all of my posts are in the hands of an unauthorized 3rd party. That means your database was compromised. Never say there is “no way” to compromise a database - not knowing or understanding the risks is the path to weak security. There...

Yelp’s letter to them is the money shot: Hi Davide, I’m contacting you from the Yelp User Support Team because we’ve received complaints from the community that you may be offering incentives in exchange for reviews. To be clear, this violates our Terms of Service...

Are you currently using King Arthur from RD? I think that’s the only one they could carry that would compare to a “00”. That price still seems high at RD though. I use a run of the mill (literally) high gluten flour and paid $13.91 this week. It comes from a local miller though, so I don’t have...

Just remember that it’s a reality TV show, and as such they will be looking for drama. They will probably “cast” your staff with wannabe actors looking for attention. They’re looking for drama kings and queens, not actually good employees. They will interfere to create story arcs, probably...

I’ve noticed this with the places around here that sell 18" pizzas. They are all severely under priced for the size. I don’t think it’s possible to correctly price them and not give sticker shock. Most customers perusing a menu are not doing the math in their head that an 18" is 66% larger than...

Corn on the cob and turkey legs at Taste of Chicago come to mind. Although I remember thinking, “the heat index is 110 and I’m packed in here like a sardine. Who the hell wants a whole turkey leg?”

Except the price of pizza, unfortunately, which is cheaper even in real terms than it was in 1994. Accounting for inflation, it’s probably half the price.

I’m just using that as an example to demonstrate that the First Amendment doesn’t apply here. Here’s what you originally posted: That is factually incorrect, and therefore poor advice and a common misconception of what the First Amendment actually does. There are many, many companies that have...

I’m not sure on poundage needed, but we use about 500/wk. I’ve had this agreement for a very long time though, back when I was probably only using 300. But at the time, I was buying everything from them so that may have made them more willing. Yes, how you described it is exactly how it works...

I think it depends on the definition of “accurate”. If they take all of the overhead of the entire house and the variable costs of the drop, and divide by the number of drops per year, then $250 could be accurate. The marginal costs of dropping a truck (which I would argue is what actually...

I use Sysco’s Arrezzio brand, which for all 10 years that I’ve been using it has been Saputo (you can find the manufacturer of a private label by looking at the plant ID on the box). There are Sysco houses that will ship Leprino under the Arrezzio label, which is a cheese that I don’t care for...

But I don’t think a continuously running motor can be using that much. Now that I’ve thought it through… It looks like that oven has a 1/3 hp blower motor. If it’s 80% efficient that’s 307W. The conveyor drive motor is 1/8 hp. At 80% efficiency that’s 115W. The electronics can’t be burning...

I don’t have much to add, but I completely agree with GotRocks and Piedad. I believe you’d be doing this company a service by calling them. Not only would they not be happy about losing a customer and creating ill-will because their attorney failed to do any actual research, but I imagine they...

Here’s the electrical calculations I come up with. You’ll be able to calculate your gas costs from your gas bill. For the electric, just look at what you’re paying per kWh. MM PS360: 2200W (2.2kW) + Gas cost Lincoln 1130: 10560W (10.56kw) @ 220V Lincoln 1132: 10669W (10.67kW) I’m kind of...

Oh, my number one thing not to say to an operator… My wife was traveling a couple of years ago, so we ran a little Facebook campaign with “Where is my wife?”. She’d take a picture and we’d post it on Facebook. Customers would then guess where she was based on the picture. One guy - somewhat of...

“That’s where they get ya… the drinks” That’s my favorite, and I just got it today. They always say it like they just unlocked some sort of secret scam where we lure them in by selling our food below cost, and then really stick them by forcing Coke down their throat and adding it to the bill...

I didn’t say it wasn’t going to “bounce back” on him in “some way”, nor did I say that I thought he should take some sort of action (I don’t). What I said was that the First Amendment first doesn’t apply here. If we were taking about public sector employees it might be different, but we’re...

The First Amendment protects you from government action against protected speech. It does not apply to a private organization. It protects you from going to jail for saying something, not from being fired. The possible exception could be an NLRB violation, where somebody is attempting to...

If you’ve ever done a pizza shop in Chicago, and I’m guessing you have, then you have encountered a jurisdiction that hasn’t adopted BOCA. New York City only adopted in 2008. And adoption doesn’t mean a jurisdiction didn’t make minor or major amendments. I don’t have a dog in this fight, but my...

George, municipalities are not required to adopt the National Building Code, nor required to follow it. In my city, I do not need a hood for my deck pizza oven. It is vented via direct flue through the roof. We do have an exhaust fan and make up air to remove the heat, smoke/odors and provide...
