Rick G: No not really. I’ve looked at the towns that a lot of you are from and their demographics and naturally everyone where you guys live eat pizza. Where I am from, you will go out the whole day and will not here English being spoken in the background. All of these people do not order-in...

Here’s how the pizza turned out: http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r261/mikedavid00/6e800455.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r261/mikedavid00/bca0286d.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r261/mikedavid00/0e2942e6.jpg http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r261/mikedavid00/502c8153.jpg...

NicksPizza: And what if half of those homes and more do not speak English, are from other countries, are low income, and do not participate in the activity of ordering in food. What if basically it’s ‘pointless’ trying to attract them? (trust me they do not order in food of any kind and I can...

Hello, Again I’m contemplating opening up pizza delivery. But I have yet to get an answer to this so a couple years later maybe people will ‘understand’ what I’m asking. Ok. I never know how to get people to understand. In this day and age, there is an average of 50% of households that do not...

Hi, I was curious about deep frying in Tallow or Lard and which is better. Any more insight? Also what kind of potato do you use? In the past decade there has been a dramatic drop in the quality and taste of fried foods. They almost taste bad now to the point some places (KFC, Wendy’s, other...

Heya, I couldn’t buy a place that went under becuase I can’t afford it. I’ve looked through the listings quite a bit actually. I’d like to modify the existing place in a neighbourhood where people ‘eat/order pizza’. I had no idea the hood would cost more to install than fully assembling a Ford...

Piper: A friend wanted a washroom in his basement. He called about a dozen people. Prices from $2000-$8000(!). Finally, someone quoted a fair amount - $600. Even then… I mean man… 10 hours work $600 tax free. Not too many people get paid that much! And to think people wanted 10x that amount...

Then I would do delivery’s. Advertise and then deliver. That still takes a bit of startup capital of course. They won’t know the difference. Actually I spent years ordering from my favorite pizza place that I never even set foot in.

Hey, I’m in a similar situation but have some startup costs to do the barebone minimum storefront. I mean barebone. Even then if the hood is a problem I may forgo the plans. I’m almost certain that you are not allowed to cator out of your home address. Call up the city and ask if you are...

CaptSammy: Thanks for all the info Sammy. Your prices made me feel a lot better. the sink was a sprise though its further regulation that adds expense to my startup costs. I was looking at a fridge like this for the dough. Also there is the coke 3 sliding door that I would also like. He could...

Piper: There’s nothing that justifies $1000 a ft for a hood. The gov’t regulates these things and the prices jump sky high because of it. When I was planning my wedding every vendor was insisted that my flowers would cost in the $5k range. Even on the forums. Then I did my research, found out...

royster13: Lol… This is exactly how it was done in Ottawa (my hometown) and exactly what I was planning to do here! Hahah… too funny. But things changed a lot in the last 20 years with laws and gov’t union expansions accross the board so nothing at all suprises me anymore. Next thing we’ll...

royster13: Agreed.

Wow you guys can deliver beer over there??? In Ontario here the gov’t owns all the liqour and there would be a police sting operation with full survalence if you tried to deliver beer hehe…

mmmpizza: Thanks for the post. I’ll be sure to stear clear of this product. Their testimonial says: "Amazing Results! "Since adding DiamondTouch to my store, we’ve been able to increase our sales over 30%! " Tell support that they need to manually go into the database and find the corrupt or...

Hey thanks guys for the help. I’m giong to check out some more places this week and figure out what I’m going to do about the ventilation costs. I do have access to another $10k but then I’d be in debt which I kind of didn’t want to do as there’s a good chance of failure. I can have the best...

Hi! I’m trying to open up a hole in the wall pizza take out/delivery service in the Toronto area and will be asking for advice frequently if I can’t find answers. Right now I’m in the planning phase. I have the capital saved up and would like to buy used equipment and then rent a space for the...

Tom Lehmann: Yup you’re right. In Canada you are smothered in laws and regulations. We have amongst the highest dairy prices in the world for a reason 🙂 You aren’t allowed to have ovens in basements or garages in my city becuase of people renting out their garages and basements to other...

Hi! I would love to open my own Pizza delivery/walk business but realize that I need to practice recipes first. I’ve been into pizza my whole life and feel that I know what (I think) best pizza should be. I would like to cook a very cheesy, greasy style pizza with peperoni at the bottom. The...
