    Satellite or cable TV in business?

    I have a small dining room as well and used to have a cable for a few years (about 8 years ago). At that time I believe it was around $80 a month for basic cable. I ended up taking the tv out because my employees were watching tv when they should have been working.

    Abandoned shop update

    Contact a code enforcer first to see what, if any, changes will needed to be made to the space that you are interested in leasing. Even though it was already a pizza shop, they still might require you to make changes. Often codes are changed and new ones are added each year, and preexisting...

    Found An Abandoned Shop...Need Advice!

    Don’t get discouraged. Just be smart about what you’re doing and don’t rush into anything. Remember not all pizza businesses fail. Usually it’s the people that go into it not prepared, inexperienced, and underfinanced that do. How close is the nearest pizza shop to this location? You might want...

I thought for sure that I would be ready to open within a month. That turned out not to be the case. I had...

    Two Questions

    I agree with Paul on his point that credit card fees cost a lot more than the fees for the small amount of bounced checks. Although PizzaPirate brings up a good point as well about losing customers over the embarrassment of bouncing a check. 2 months ago I had a customer who orders about $50...

    Re: Bottom line…What is the best advertising for the dolla When you’re door hanging, it’s also a good idea to do it before people get home from work.

    Bottom line...What is the best advertising for the dollar?

    Re: Bottom line…What is the best advertising for the dolla The best bang for your buck would be door hangers. They’re cheap to buy and if don’t have much money, you could always print up some coupons on your home printer, tri-fold them together with you menus, and staple a rubber band to them...
