Good luck CHairboy in your new ventures!

Thanks!

I still have my full time software job, so I'm paying myself a $50 salary from the business and reinvesting all the profits I can as well as paying off the loan asap.

A little update for those who are interested. The food cost when we bought the place was 32%. We've now gotten it down to 25%. We've done a couple of succesful promotions, like 'any Giant pizza for $10'.

I just ordered a case of Tabasco sauce from Sysco and we're offering it for sale right at the counter. I like it on my pizza, so I'm curious to see if others do as well.

Finally, I'm reading a fascinating book called 'The Emyth' about why so many small businesses fail and how to avoid that.

This is fun!

Good luck! I worked at a pizza place for 6 years; all through high school and part of college. If ya need any tips from the floor rats, just ask.

Here's the first one: don't refer to your cooks and other hourlies as "floor rats."
