I just purchased my airline and hotel tickets and will be signing up for the expo tonight. My wife and I are very excited. Anyone else here plan on going?
As many of you know I do not own a pizza shop but plan on opening one in 2-3 years.
I’m looking for any advice for those who have been to the expo before. We are going all three days.
It’ll be my first trip (1st year as GM) everyone else has been multiple years … we have a commitment to choosing our POS by day 3 and making a deposit. Exciting, looking forward to getting out of the store for a few days and soaking in some fresh ideas!
My wife an I just booked our flights and hotel. Still need to hit up a vendor for passes to the expo.
OT Pizza do yourself a favor and change your POS decision deadlines. While Pizza Expo is great to view many POS systems nearly side by side, it is not a good atmosphere to choose which one you will spend thousands purchasing and be reliant on to help operate your stores. The sales staff for the POS companies are quite busy out there and you probably will not get their undivided attention for any significant amount of time. Among the crowds and the activity you are also not likely to think of every scenario you will need to have your POS handle, so you may overlook some important aspects. I would suggest to get familiar with as many systems as you can while at Expo, eliminate the obvious ones and try to create a short list to look further into over the following couple weeks.
