Shop Talk / Re: Has inflation affected your traffic?

« Last post by woodfiredandrew on Today at 11:16:07 AM »

Dine in has been slow for past month or so. yes slight uptick in delivery.
I think all the operators are going to be forced to reevaluate their product/quality/pricing ect.  since consumers are tighting their belt, Bad operators will get pushed out.

I gather that you're with Speedline? What kind of rates are you seeing for CC processing? We aren't seeing much lower that 2.5-2.8%.

Shop Talk / Re: Logo

« Last post by 9slicePie on Today at 11:09:51 AM »

we are working on a Street Food business

If that's the case, then the 1st logo doesn't seem that bad.  When people are walking out in the streets, I feel that seeing a pizza slice will "lure" them in more (psychologically/subconsciously). 

Seeing a drawing of pizza while outside = happy feeling = may motivate potential customers to come to you.


So, the pizza-slice logo might be better for a street business.  (I initially assumed you were going for a high-end, artisanal look/shop).


(The above is coming from someone with no actual business experience; just tried to think it out from this perspective).

I'm curious if you will actually toss the pizza? If not, the hand tossing pizza on the logo could prove to be a negative. It would be a shame if people whined on social media about a lack of tossing rather than praising great pizza. Give people an excuse, and they will complain.

I like the second one and don't like the other two at all.

I agree. I don't love the second but I've give a hard no on the other two. The Hilda's Pizza text alignment got wonky somehow on the second.

New York Style / Re: Matt's NY Pizza, by HammettJr

« Last post by Sokkr on Today at 09:51:25 AM »

I bake at 500F. And good note, I'm making notes of everything and will be compiling information together once I get all the data.

And the only reason why I have a screen is because my stone is 16" and I wanted to make it more of a larger NY slice (the pizzeria I grew up on took slices from 24" pizza so large slices).

So I might put the screen on the stone and bake for x:xx time OR bake on the screen at a higher rack until it's firm and then transfer to the stone on the lower rack.

General Pizza Making / Re: Do you over ferment?

« Last post by TXCraig1 on Today at 09:32:42 AM »

I've been intentionally trying to overferment lately, and it's been harder to do than I expected. IMO, it's better to overferment than underferment.

Dough Clinic / Re: Please check out this fermented dough...what am I looking for?

« Last post by TXCraig1 on Today at 09:30:54 AM »

If im understating this correctly, you are letting it more than double in bulk?  If so I want some of your starter!

No +20% in bulk and double in balls. I don't care for the dough handling of a ball that had a big rise in bulk.
