Glad to hear that you and your family are safe. When we were hit with a series of hurricanes through 2004 most of our town was without power for at least a few days. My store was lucky enough to never lose power. As soon as the street lights were out we stopped delivering and went carryout only. Prior to that, it didn’t matter how long I quoted, people were willing to wait. We did record days with carryout only and were only limited by our own lack of staff. As many batches of dough as we could prep, as fast as we could make pizzas we sold them. What I will change if it happens again is that I will not offer custom made pizzas, just one size and choice of cheese, pepperoni or supreme. I will keep the ovens full and utilize the little caesars hot and ready concept. At the end, not only was my store very profitable with limited staff, we were very much appreciated by the community as we were one of the only food places open. I look at those three hurricanes as a defining moment in my businesses success.
