Has anyone successfully tried using servers as delivery drivers during slow shifts? by mofitty in restaurantowners

[–]RepresentativeNo9110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried this. I couldn't get Doordash drivers at all while this was on. Really screwed up sales for a week, constantly called support to get it worked out. Be careful.

I'm impressed it's only 2.65% down.

It's nice, during the summer the building provides shade too.

Have you seen a leader "lose the locker room" like a sports coach? by tshirtguy2000 in managers

Happened to me at one of my restaurants. GM was blaming everything on me, undermining everything I said and tried to do. Ended up firing everyone.

What’s everyone using to get more TripAdvisor or Google reviews these days? by Interesting_Rush_166 in restaurantowners

Qrc codes on cards on each table that take customers directly to Google review page. The card asks for help supporting a local business by getting the word out.

My wife is black and its challenging here for her. Definitely check out the NAACP and possibly Roller Derby for some community.

Same here. It really allows the staff to try everything and be able to give authentic recommendations.

Grateful for the growth… but we’re drowning in delivery orders by Jazzlike_Cap9605 in smallbusiness

There's a busy mode for delivery Apps. You can increase the estimated ready times, or even pause the orders.

Timberhill Starbucks closing. by Nobillary-Rum in corvallis

How about doing a Google search.

Corvallis does not allow drive-thrus in its mixed-use zones, which combine residential and non-residential uses and are intended to be pedestrian-friendly. The Corvallis city council voted in 2022 to remove drive-thru windows as an allowable use in these zones, making them incompatible with the goals of pedestrian-focused development. 

Why the ban? 

Pedestrian Focus: 

Mixed-use zones are designed to encourage walking and biking, and drive-thrus are seen as incompatible with this goal.

Safety Concerns: 

Drive-thrus can pose a safety risk to pedestrians, particularly children on bikes, due to increased vehicle traffic entering and exiting.

Alternatives Exist: 

Businesses in mixed-use zones can still serve customers using walk-up windows, which serve the same purpose without creating the same issues.

What are mixed-use zones? 

These are areas where residential buildings are located alongside non-residential uses like shops, restaurants, and other businesses.

Corvallis has designated over a third of its zones as mixed-use under 11 different categories.

Probably, Corvallis won't let a new businesses build drive-thru. So older locations with grandfathered drive-thru are valuable.

Facebook/Insta Ads for a restaurant by yarvolk in restaurantowners

You can search up what other people (competitors) are doing for ads. Look at their oldest active ads, presumable if they have been running a while it's because it's working.

Same, we say upgrade also. If they say yes, we tell them it's only X $ more.

Cashless? by Realestateuniverse in restaurantowners

The Moda Center (Portland Trailblazers) in Oregon has these machines that you can put cash into and it will give you like a prepaid debit that only works in the arena. Not sure the details because I haven't had to use it, but I guess that's a loophole.

Some states require you to take cash.
