It's not that kind of place. It's a nieborhood pizzaria among several others as well as a domino,s up the block and a pizza hut 3 blocks away and a pappa johns there also.
There are only about 12 to 20 deliveries a day. Delivering is good because every time that phone rings it's 20$ and up for the store..
Right now, I goto focus on the home base. Getting everybody working in the same direction under different mentality. That has to be done with care and suttleness.
Goto clean the place up. Get my distributors in order. Research other avenues of purchases and negotiate favorable terms according to my volume.
Some independently owned distributers will negotiate very good or favorable terms to help a new owner. They get great loyalty from me if they help in the beginning. As soon as pizzaria starts accumulating profit. I won't mind a small price increase from them knowing "they have my back"..
Relationships are very important in business..your on the street, fighting it out...
Dominoes isn't going to order from them so they know that helping me, helps them. You just have to.know how to approach them..
The place actually had an "A" rating from the board of health, lol.
The grease traps are clean and no grease flies. The refrigeration is up to the corresponding temps, there's no stagnant water in basement, no leaks. There is soap by the faucet and as clean rags are in fresh warm bleached water. No appearance of infestation of any kind. All restaurant supplies are on shelves and off floor.So it's an A..
Place is beat up though. But in that neighborhood there is graffiti outside on the gates on the bathroom window,s. Only so much u could do in that environment. But definatly need a a major cleaning. Il do that myself and when I find a delivery guy. The other one stopped showing up so me and the current owner are doing them..
Once home base has been stabilized I will make a menu flyer with buy 9 large pies and get 10th free kind of business card..
Corporate pizza really doesn't go well in ny/nj too many real pizza places. Who wants to eat a sponge with fake meats when u can get a real large 18 inch pie for 18$.. nice and hot and a little crunchy.
A website would be good if I got to the level of massive deliveries. In this neighborhood, I don't think they no yelp or too order with grubhub or any thing like that. .
As far as pinball is concerned. There is 5 booths that hold 16 people. I'm going to take a booth out and put the pinball and something else to make it a total of 5 games.
Like a mini game room, "back to the future baby".
Also everything is cans and Pepsi machine doesn't work. I prefer coke but ghettos prefer pepsi. I have to call Pepsi and see if I can get it redone. Don't know what there minimum order of syrup would be but much better for bottom line even if I have to spend a shit load of syrup for my first delivery..
He has a slush machine that works and sells but it's not sweet enough.. the aboriginals like the sweet slushes also a fruit punch and grape drink dispenser were one side doesn't work.
That's all profit. Il get a new one, old school style were it splashes the soft drink on the lid kind of thing to keep it "fresh" cold and extra sweet.
I know it's winter but he has an ice box with the basic marinos Italian ices in the 10 gallon.buckets.
That used to be the standard!!
There's another distrubuter that sells Italian ices and it's the same u see the Mexicans selling in the summer.
It's a little softer and sweeter and they have banana, mango, kiwi, cherry it is sweeter and tastier. The aboriginals prefer those.
I don't even like those marino ices any more. He has rainbow, cherry . Nobody really buys that anymore and there as hard as a rock. Il go with the new Latino distributer.
