Pizza Power Report 2023: Are Independents Making a Comeback?
Independent pizzerias grew in both total sales and units in the past year, but food costs soared. Here, we look at the trends of 2022 and what the future holds for the industry.
Billy Manzo’s 6 Rules for Social Media Success
“OK, we’re going to conduct a little experiment. I want you to take out your phone and open your Instagram or Facebook app. What do you see when you scroll through your profile? Are there photos of you smiling while holding a pizza? Photos of you smiling and shaking a customer’s hand? Photos of you smiling while kneading some dough? Videos of you kneading some dough?”
Smithsonian Lecture: Pinsa Is ‘Next Big Thing in Pizza’
“The Smithsonian Institution houses a staggering collection of historical documents and cultural artifacts, including treasures such as Abraham Lincoln’s stove pipe hat, the ruby slippers from “Wizard of Oz” and Hawkeye’s maroon bathrobe from “M*A*S*H.” Could a pinsa exhibit be next on the list?
Maybe not, but Smithsonian Associates are celebrating the Roman-style pie in a live lecture titled “Pinsa: The Next Big Thing in Pizza,” at 12 noon on Sunday, May 22.”
Why You Need to Hire a Restaurant Whisperer
“Independent restaurant owners miss out on roundtable brainstorming sessions—you know, when a board of directors or a project development team gets together and tries to figure out ways to better a business? Most owners are spending their days trying to stay in business. They’re in the kitchen. They’re dealing with suppliers. They’re trying to come up with engaging content for their social media platforms. There can be little time for brainstorming—and no board or managers to brainstorm with, other than a business partner.”
Phone Ordering Systems More Advanced Than Ever!
“Though online ordering keeps growing, Scully points out that, on average across the industry, customers are still placing well over 50% of their orders on the phone, while small independents may have only 20% to 30% of their orders placed online. ‘Having a great phone system is still critical,’ Scully stresses. ‘Even as people transition away from phone ordering, it’ll probably never go away completely. Web ordering has been around for 20 years, and it’s still less than half of all orders.'”
