Pizza Shop

When it comes to the environment or location of the shop, there are a couple of things to think about. An example of a few of these would be; surrounding shops, surrounding homes, ethnicity of people in the area, kinds of surroundings are available within a mile or a two mile radius? There are other things that would need to be thought over when deciding on the location of a pizza parlor. If this is a working district then you can almost bet that most of your business would be around lunch time. If it was a home area or neighborhood, then you may get more business in the evening from people ordering for dinner. The best scenario would be if you had both areas within a mile or so from your place of business. This would help for both lunches and dinner time schedules. The stress level of this case scenario would be almost nothing. Most mom and pop business's live and die by location. You would be able to concentrate on other areas of your pizza shop at that point.

Trying to compete with a big corporation who would be able to advertise at a cost far less than yours could hurt you business. A two for one special, with a cost value less than your one pizza would be detrimental to your parlor. Another thought would be staffing. Maybe we need to hire more staff, or if everything did not work out as planned, we may need to let some employees go or even cut back their hours of work. As a manager or owner, letting someone go who you know needs the job, is also a stressful thing to encounter. If the staff is kept to a minimum, that we may have to deal with the type pf service a customer is getting. Another area to consider is if staffing is low what would the cleanliness of the pizza shop be? All these factors lead us to a stressful
