At this point, I wouldn’t do anything. No reason to possibly burn any bridges. I personally don’t have any warming mechanisms. I leave that at their discretion. All I’d do is be adamant next time about sending the pizzas over in a few waves to help maintain their integrity (if this is still...

We have a similar special. For us, the computer is set to bring all orders down to the “special price” regardless of the configuration of the toppings. For us it’s Two 1-topping pizzas, so you can go 1 & 1 or 2 & zero. You could also go specialty + cheese, or even specialty + specialty, but it...

royster13: These are all 1000 miles away. I figured it’d make sense to keep it close so I could go look at the unit. But it’s good for price comparison if that was the purpose.

Here are the details: It’s a True 93" TPP-93. As I mentioned in a previous post, they go new for $4500-$5000. The unit was manufactured in 1998 so it’s got lots of miles on it. Thoughts on a reasonable offer for a table like this that is from a quick glance in good working shape?

When I get more details like actual age and more detailed appearance I will post it. This is a link to the post on criagslist. http://sarasota.craigslist.org/bfs/3501124110.html

Each situation is unique so I’ll elaborate a bit more. The table for sale is a 3 door 93" True Pizza Prep table. I still need the details on how old, but a brand new one of these units seems to go between $4500-$5000. This unit is for sale for $1500. Apparently it’s in great working condition...

What about bringing a professional with you to check out the equipment? There appears to be some good stuff for sale in my area from a place recently out of business.

How does one go about doing this? I could use a new pizza prep table as I’m continually sinking money into mine and at this point it appears to be a lost cause. How do you go about buying a used one and making sure that you’re not buying someone else’s problem? Should you just go new with a...

Right now my best employees are kids I’ve had from high school who are now college kids, but are approaching that point where they’re done with local school and will be heading out of town. I’m looking for an adult who has already been there done that type of thing. I know others who have had...

I’m typically able to find the part-time HS kids w.o much of a problem. Friends of friends, etc. For the most part we have a good group of kids working right now. The tough part is finding a few people who are available to work during the day. People who are content with this being their full...

I’m looking for some details. Did you go in once, ask what they wanted, and then brought it? Did you randomly show up with food one day?

Our lunch business is slow, so I’m considering adding delivery during the day to local businesses. I plan on heading to the businesses in the area, introducing myself and letting them try my product for free. How have you guys done this in the past? Do you just load up the car with some pizzas...

I’m in FL. It’s called a 2COP here. I had to get the application and then get certain parts of the applications filled out for approval from the health department, department of revenue and zoning department. I also had to go get my fingerprints done. To directly answer your question, I’ve...

What are the thoughts on Bacio? I’m gonna have my Roma rep bring in some cheeses and try them out. Can’t see switching from Grande. Might have to use GFS for my cheese and then Roma for the rest…

Very bold, arrogant move by Grande if they are still negotiating. Can’t see this being good for either. Roma will lose customers that are Grande loyal and Grande will lose some Roma loyal customers. I’ve been talking to my rep that has basically said to plan on either switching cheese or...

Just got a letter in the mail today from Grande saying that Performance Foodservice/Roma will no longer be authorized as a distributor of Grande Cheese effective 6/1/12. Obviously a big deal. Anyone else get this letter?

I sent a few private messages about this one but thought it’d be an interesting topic to see what people tend to do. Lets create a hypothetical situation to make numbers easy. 10,000 homes in your target area. What’s your plan? Hit them every 5 weeks? 7 weeks? 10 weeks? After you hit every...

I understand Facebook has its pay for services, but there’s also much to gain from having the simple fan page.

royster13: When you say door to door delivery of menus do you mean a direct mailing of your menu to each home, or something like a door hanger sleeve with your menu inside that you have someone bring door to door? Also, has anyone ever tried a TV commercial? If not, have you heard anything...

Lets keep this simple. Two questions: Question #1 - Which method of advertising do you believe has brought you the greatest OVERALL INCREASE TO SALES? With this question we are ignoring the amount of money you spent on the advertisement. Maybe a TV commercial? Radio ad? Question #2 - Which...
