He's not wrong about staff. I'm a manager at my job, the more people you have, the more potentially bad employees you have to deal with. Productivity, attendance, attitudes, all that, the worst part for me. I hate that drama side. Having to have conversations about doing wtf your told. Stop standing around and talking on the phone, disappear for 30 minutes "I was in the bathroom", etc. If I opened a business, I'd do what he did. Just need 2 good people and that's it

You need to be able to pay those two good employees well enough to be there and do the work of multiple people though. Can’t ask them to do a hand full of task then pay them half of what they deserve. America has a real problem with that in today work force. This guy seems to have it down though kudos to him.

@@SAUCE206 And my job doesn't. I work for a large retailer. Got a store manager that goes after people for whatever reason. One of them was one of my employees. He's great, knows how to do everything. She decided she wanted him "out of the building" He's a friend, so I warned him. He's now transferring to another store. I'm down another employee. He'll be replaced with someone terrible, I'm sure, if at all. But the same amount of work will be expected. When it doesn't get done, because obviously, she'll come down on me.

I always wondered if you can just throw in round pizza shaped dough in oven first,without any toppings,for five minutes.Then add toppings,and put back in oven,for extra crispy crust?? Love this video,cheers!!
@SDShepard Ай бұрын
Honestly the toppings and cheese handle the cooking for long periods rather than the dough. You can ask most places for a well-done pie and they'll come back extra crunchy. Of course protein %/water %/fermentation all play a role as well, but there's no changing that!
@ledflaplin2001 18 күн бұрын
The answer is yes!! Also depends on the type of dough you use and the type of pizza oven as well.

Wonder if he would make a calzone with just pepperoni and cheese with sauce on the side? A guy from Philadelphia opened a pizza shop locally several years ago. His calzone only had mozzarella and the toppings(fillings) you chose, usually pepperoni. That would be a simple item for him to add, especially for the lunch crowd.

ive been saying this long time... keep it simple, do it well... you will make people happy and keep coming back... the only reason that i would maybe say to be little more diverse, is have just a regular salad, and then another salad.. and dessert.. have one chocolate item, one non chocolate non caffiene , just as u have soda u have coke and sprite and possibly lemonade or tea or fruit punch/juice ... and its pizza so its kid friendly no need for chicken tenders or any other !

I worked at a gas station for 5 years or so, and man people would come in and ask for pizza, nuggets, all this different crap. We barely sold hotdogs, and we eventually got a do it yourself milkshake machine, and the company would never restock it or my company was cheap and never paid for the restock, but I'd tell people where they could get X food or items. People are so used to having it there way, cause most companies don't want people going else where, so we end up with meh products. I'd rather go to a pizza place selling only pizza, and a taco shop that only sells tacos, etc.
