We’ve been open exactly 1 month today, and are averaging about 45% of our breakeven point for daily sales. The first couple of weeks, we did no marketing, just the OPEN sign and an A-Frame with a special on it. Weeks 2-3 we started doorhanging, and today mailed out 1500 full color trifold menus...

I did some research and the rent for retail for similar types of units are anywhere from $12/sf to $28/sf. They are asking $25sf + $6 NNN. No wonder the other 2 pizzerias here went under. We just opened up our first DELCO this month, so I don’t want to take a too large of a risk right now, being...

Its about 40 miles away from my first location. I live in this town, and mostly see the big 3 delivering all the time. I’ve never seen a single doorhanger on my door, as I’ve been living right up the street from this location for the last 7 years. That’s why I’m trying to think of what to do...

So I have an opportunity to open a 2nd delivery carryout location, here are the details: Asking rent - $3400 for 1300sf 1 mile radius - (households/population) - 4,212 / 11,337 3 mile radius - 22,211 / 58,518 5 mile radius - 50,207 / 132,506 Pizzerias within 3 mile radius - PH - over $1m...

I’ve heard about doorhanging (same units) 3 times in 10 days, and 3 weeks as well, but haven’t followed this. We’re in a Seattle suburb with about 60,000 units (180k population) within a 3 mile radius. It’s very densely populated so I’ve started with targeting the first mile radius once, which...

We just opened up a delco for the first time, so this may be a good idea for us. I would like to meet other TT members there as well!

What kind of fees are you working with pizza2007??

We were leaning towards using Grande for our new DELCO, but are now leaning towards Vantaggio D’Oro’s Mozz (By Bellissimo)…tasted better with everyone who tried it, looked the same as grande through our impinger oven, and costs about 40 - 50 cents less…

$2.19 for Vantaggio D’Oro Mozzarella…how is this price?

North American Bancard offered me: Their “wholesale” fees from visa, mc etc (google visa interchange fees, click on pdf for link to their fees). They said they’ll do this at cost, can be anywhere from 0.95% to over 2%. $0.10/transaction fee Does anyone else have a deal similar to this...

Gencs, I’m looking into importing 10, 14, and 18" colored pizza boxes. If you’re interested in maybe putting our orders together, pm me, I’ll get you pricing on them. Where are you located? Even with freight/custom duties, it seems I’ll be paying less then the pricing I’m getting from suppliers...

Nick, I’ve also been looking into that option as well. I’ve never worked with a POS system before, so $40/month sounded reasonable for a 1 station with touchscreen, cashdrawer, swipe, printer, software, training etc. But I’ve found a touchscreen for $400, I’m sure I can locate a...

Thanks Daddio…They said they have a software made specifically for pizzerias as well…but I will definitely find out about the other questions! I didn’t even think about the potential pin & chip issue for the near future!

Thats understandable Joker, it helps though, as the pricing we got was through Sysco, very high compared to what everyone else is getting. We’re on the west coast as well, planning on opening up in the next 3 weeks or so!

Hi Joker…what supplier are you using for your cheese??

Thanks Piper, I’m new to the food industry entirely, and the distributors know that, hence the much much higher pricing. I’ll be going to work on them starting tomorrow!

We’re looking into a POS system for our new delco…and came upon this: http://www.firstmerchantservices.com/co … stems.aspx They charge $40/month for 5 years, then it’s yours. Total cost including setup,installation,training,system,software: $2400 - Includes employee management, inventory...

Sysco is offering me Arrezio LMPS Moss for $2.42 Saputo 50% Whole Milk Mozz/50% Skim Mozz for around $2.69 Sorrento Prima Cucina Mozz - $2.81 Joker, how are you getting it for so cheap?? We’re opening a new delivery/carryout and are working on getting our ingredients/recipes finalized, but I...
