Hey John,
yes, I know all about the agreements, etc. Another thing about owning and running a franchise. Is, that I have to follow their rules and get inspected every 6 months. No one is going to tell me how to run my place. I've worked Pizza Hut for a full year my JR year of high school. I've worked a year and a half my senior year at a chain called Hungry Howies. I ran my buddies place "Spanky's Pizza" for 5-6 years as a day manger/cook. I've been working Domino's for 2.6 years. Helping my buddy that owns the place. Training insider's and drivers to fill empty openings. My best years is when I ran my buddies place that was a mom and pop's type place.
I know what your saying. As for grossing 1.3 million in Pahoa. I don't think that will happen. Money isn't everything. I'd rather make killer pizza and sides and keep everyone happen with the product and pricing, but I think if I was to open a store. As long as the location was good and I could keep the overhead down. I could kill it there.
I make everything fresh in the morning. Dough, sauce, shred cheese, etc. With the pizza, calzones, stromboli's, wings and sides. It would only take word of mouth. Plus, not having people wait 2 hours for a damn carryout.
I know what needs to be done and how to do it. I'm not after being rich. Just happy making the pie's and paying the bills.
Guess, I took this thread off course. Sorry.
Steve
