You don't care but when you are a busy place and maybe doing $50k/wk that's $4k/ month or almost $50k/yr if you don't like it go elsewhere I can promise you they won't miss you and you will most likely miss them
What a load of crap especially when Angelo's in Glastonbury serves a much better chicken parmesan grinder. It may not be eight layers thick but it's certainly better tasting.
Haha, a little pizza place is doing 50 k a week? Haha, okay. So on average 7k a day including slow days like Monday and Tuesday? Besides, I work exclusively with small businesses and they pay at most 3% for credit card processing, not 8%! It’s a good place and I’ll remember cash in the future, just think businesses should all be taking cards as an option in 2020.
2% of 200k is 4k who said 8%. I never said they were doing that much but a cash place I know of does do that much. It's not a nothing cost and some places don't need it as an option.
I misread it. I think a place doing 50 K a week of highly profitable food like pizza could easily afford to pay 2%. A cash only policy also eliminates the ability to offer services like Uber Eats, Grub Hub etc that are becoming much more popular. If they stay busy with just cash, more power to them.
Restaurants don't like those apps, just another thing that's working against the industry lately.
They also have to pay a fee to those services. Many restaurants don't want to deal with them either.
I definitely understand the costs of running a restaurant as I have family members who own them and work with many restaurants in my job. Pizza profits are pretty high, especially with pizzas now at $20 or greater at most places. To use Wethersfield as an example, it seems to only be the husband and wife so their overhead seems pretty manageable. People 30 and under like the convenience of online ordering and delivery. Cash only restaurants are becoming dinosaurs. They’ll have to eventually get with the times or become extinct. With that said, I will go there with cash this weekend, haha.
Restaurant prices have gone up everywhere because we're in a pandemic. Many places had to shutdown for a time, costly safety measures, and most of all food costs and all other related costs have gone up.
They save about 3% in credit card fees and an additional 4% under reporting their income.
Pizza prices were significantly higher pre pandemic anyway. The days of even a good cheese pie for 12-$15 seem long gone. Specialty pies now are often in the mid 20s to $30. Profit margins have to be extremely high at those prices.
Pizza is different. Their margins are always high. It cost nothing to make pizza
But they’ve all gone up 50% or so within just a few years it seems. At least in this area it’s generally good.
I can get a large mozz from grand, modern or John and Maria's for $14. It's the toppings that kill you and you more or less aren't getting a better mozz pie from anywhere else
Good to know about Modern, thanks.
I'll take this as a complement.
That's not what I learned in DRM 160.
By far my favorite hot dog place. The Dixie Dog (split, grilled and topped with house made cole slaw and chili) is the king of hot dogs. Great fries too.
