Hi everyone! I came across a pmq chat thread when looking up info on my business. Wow! What nice things people said about me 🙂 I am sad to say, that yes, I did sell the business 😦 It was just impossible for me to keep up. I would suggest NO ONE undertake a t&b alone business. People are just to...

I had the same problem. Here is what I did. I got a peice of paper. Wrote down every day what time our last 3 orders came in. I did this for 1 month. By then I saw a definate trend. And decided to close early based on the trend. I changed the website, put a note on the door. When it came time to...

I use a VCM, and I must say I LOVE IT!! Now I realize most PMQ’ers are mixer people 🙂 But the speed I get from the VCM is awesome! Is it a tougher dough? I cant honestly say, VCM is all I have ever used. and there is a certain way it must be done, so it is all a matter of preference. And I have...

That is GREAT!!

We have a 3 camera system in my shop. I will start by saying that my hubby is the one who got it all together and keeps it running. With watching him do it, I KNOW you have to have some technical savvy. That being said, I am sure you know someone, or know of someone who knows someone that can...

I have also used netfirms for about 3 years, very happy with them, things work smoothly 🙂

I like the new pic 🙂 I think this is a great idea as well. Maybe im not as business savy as the rest of the guys on here, but I think you have a great idea. I will be looking further into it. As I am not in the US but in Canada, some tweaking would have to be done, but I am considering it. The...

Did your delete the google ad, cuz I dont see it. Like the site, great job!

I have never sold pizza dough, though a few people have asked. I explain to them that we make our dough fresh everyday and that because business can sometimes be unpredictable it is hard to know if I may get close to running out. I tell them if they come near closing time I would be happy to...

If you COULD send the equipment via email, i would take the LOT!! hehe 🙂

To be honest, I dont think I would have to be closed at all. I was just thinking off the top of my head. But in reality, I dont know that I would have to be closed. If I kept going at this location while new signs were being made, etc. etc. I dont see that I would have to have to. The timing...

Virtually identical. Their space is a smidge smaller, but has better lay-out I think. And the rent is about the same though they are a bit smaller. Prices are higher on that side but have already negotiated the same pricing as I pay now with the leasing company. Newer complex. It has only been...

Same owners in my building to new building. They r willing to squash my lease to have me take over other space & re-sign at new place for 3 years. Moving down time? I’m thinking a week. I’ll stay open at old location till repairs are done at new place, might not even take a week. Some of these...

As far as I know you should have a lawyer draw up a package for you, this isnt a cheap investment. As far as I can figure. I, from the beginning set my business up so that let’s say I die in a car accident tomorrow, someone can come in and run the place from morning till night based on 5 binders...

Summer is a struggle for me as well, especially this year, being my 3rd summer in business I feel I have a little experience now 🙂 And yes, alot of the big guys dont even bother with much in the way of mailings and such because it is so slack, but that is the time to pick up some new customers...

I everyone! And thank you so much for your input. I’ll answer a few of your questions, the answers that I know anyway. #1 they are a large pizza chain, not an indy. #2 there will be no equipment as they are taking it to fill another store, they are cutting their losses in my town and pulling up...

Thanx Rob. The lease is the same, but newer complex. WAY better exposure. But I think you miss understand, I will be asking them for renumeration, not the other way around. My lease is ending very soon, same landlord as the other place. They have 3 years still to pay out. So if I take over I am...

Hi everyone! Just got some great news! My main competitor is closing its doors! I have been offered their space, they are still locked into their lease for another 3 years and have been asked if I want to give them an offer to take over their space. What I am wondering is, has anyone else been...

The big thing to keep in mind about gluten free is that your gluten free dough must be 100% gluten free. Meaning, you CANNOT use the same mixer to make the dough, even small amounts of flour, even that which is floating in the air can cause problems. I have alot of customers that have gluten...
