Hello,
It has been a while since I have posted here. We have had a tough year and are selling the building that we are in and moving to a leased space. The new space is equally as nice and offers a chance for us to redesign our menu.
We have always been a mid-high level end restaurant. We began our business by offering over stuffed sandwiches on traditional breads like a NY style deli. The reception was good and we were able to build a nice lunch crowd. About a year after establishing a nice lunch business we decided to expand into the pizza market. The pizza business is much more profitable than sandwiches, but we enjoy having a steady lunch crowd.
Here are our thoughts. We like offering the deli style sandwiches. We always use very nice ingredients and it results in a good sandwich. We do not want to raise prices any further for many reasons including the economy and a less than wealthy area. This leaves us with an attractive product but with little profit from each sale in sandwiches. We have always stayed away from the wings and subs and tried to put a nice slant on our products. We are now in a position in which we need to re analyze our menu and decide what will sell the most at the highest profit and still keep our customers happy. We refuse to sell cheap garbage for the reason of making a buck.
With that being said, we are happy with our pizzas and pizza menu. We could use thoughts on pricing as the local gas station has become increasingly popular for pizzas during the economic downturn.
Also, we could use feedback on your traditional profitable pizzeria type items such as wings, pasta, sides, etc
We also plan on pushing a soup and salad bar to attract the lunch crowd while we reformat our sandwiches. Suggestions?
Sandwich feedback is also welcomed.
A few notes. We do not, and would not consider using deep fryers. Items such as wings must be oven friendly.
