Though I can’t comment on the sandwich/ff special, I will tell you this:

I also use Escalon sauce, but not Grande cheese. My cheese is much less expensive at $1.54/pound. At $14.95, you are spinning your wheels. You might create some volume with a special like that but you are running close to 45% food cost, thus leaving you with very little room to cover the rest of your variable and fixed costs. Be careful when you choose to run pricepoint specials like this.

Suggestion:

1 16" 1 topping pizza $9.99. This will give you room to upsell extra pizzas, drinks, appetizers, etc. This special alone has a flashy pricepoint that will jump out at customers and is about a 10% savings in food cost versus your other special. Hope this helps. -J_r0kk

I don’t see why you would lose a lot of business, all you doing is changing a good deal for another good deal… customers are still going to be getting a good deal when they leave ur store, that’s all they want… even when u take off .50 of a pie, they get happy…
