Well folks, As a result of posts on the TT a week or two ago…
A think tanker who keeps a low profile, Steve Rouse VP Stanislous contacted me. I had commented that I would be receptive to a company that seemed to care about our business.
As a result, a Denver based rep from Omega marketing, their broker, contacted me and made the trip up to our town (3 hour drive each way) to tell me the Stanislous story. Great story.
In the end though, I sell pizza not supplier stories. The rep dropped off enough product for us to fool around with a couple of different batch recipes for taste testing. We made up 6 different batches including our own. We let them sit in the walk-in for two days and today we made a total of 16 test pies. We had employees from neighbor businesses come in and a bunch of people that responded to our my facebook post that we would be tasting pizza. Three rounds of testing. Eliminations… 30-40 votes per round.
Our current sauce and two combinations based on Stani products were the finalists.
We will be changing to a sauce based on the Stani products we liked best about the end of the month when we run through the product we have on hand.
Maybe we will tell that vendor brand story in our radio ads after all.
