The most common is a closing key holder and a driver in cahoots...take deliveries and just write info on a piece of scrap paper and split the proceeds. Buy a portion scale and mandate that cooks weigh out toppings during non-peak hours....it will get them used to using the right amount when making pies during the peak.
Your good.. very American and very corporate..
I grew up in New York Greek dinners..
Totally the opposite, hire real workers and counter man not kids and the problematic.. and u just do it.. whether chef or grill man or counter man with the pen behind his ear yelling prices to the cashier etc etc..
The place as is , is a 3 or 4 man operation. It will go to five in 6 months....
I would pay my pizza man extra to do the right thing!! and just keep an eye in the sky and ear to the ground by the shadows.. like my boss did.
That's the way I was taught.. if I could make this place go gang busters, I would give my pizza man 10% in time so I can retire and just hang around a pick up my envelope..
I was never into the McDonald's way of doing things..
If they want pepperoni, I'll give them the fucken pepperoni(jokingly)..
I'm really more old school New yorkish. Your style is a little too corporate and middle America and sterile for me.. I'M NOT PUTTING YOU DOWN AND PLEASE KEEP IT COMMING AND I WILL P.M. YOU AS A RESOURCE. PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Your place sounds very successful..
I like my spots with a little more down to earth neighborhood character..
I have seen sons of major dinner owners branch out and try it that way we're everything is preportioned and anesthetized. They generally fail when an old school guy opens up across the street. ..
Please keep it comming , just wanted you to know what your dealing with the last of the throwbacks. There are no more after me. I'm 47. I think I'm the last one..
It's take out, delivery and eat in. Very basic complete with Dusty pictures of base ball players on the wall with 3 video games and I'm removing a booth to put 2 more.... It's in the middle of large tenement buildings and public transportation and the majority of customers are very urban.
March would be difficult. That's only 2 months away. Couldn't leave the store for 3 days and I don't know myyworkers that we'll yet... u never know though.
