Free Pizza

cgarrad

Hey Im looking for drivers to drive mopeds delivering pizza for our new business. We have no cash ;-D and are looking to find a way to get staff without paying recruitment websites. Any of you brainboxes got any ideas ? There is a free pizza in it for any answers that work.
We are on FAS.ie and gumtree.ie...

Jesus Wept

plaster a few notice boards, spars/tesco, etc


Now give me my pizza.

I thought the anwer would have been obvious. Yours is a cash business, so initially offer drivers a handsome percentage of the cash they collect for a period long enough until you get set up with a cash reserve and can pay them normally.

Good luck in a very overcrowded pizza market!

It's not what a service business is, but where!

Not everywhere is overcrowded.

I would give you the most amazing, cheapest and efficient way of finding staff...but I've a feeling I'll be waiting longer than half an hour for my pizza...and I'm hungy now!!!

FM104 do free job advertisements on air, it's called jobzone or something and does be on sometimes during the ads. Give them a call if your business in within the FM104 broadcast area?

Mr. Presentable

Stand outside your local Domino's and approach their delivery persons as they come and go!

IF your already open - attach flyers to every pizza that leaves the building and not only attract the customer but offer them something if they refer someone to you who you employ......say €200 worth of pizza (obviously costing you less).....

this will work as I've done something very similar.....

Let employees have the mopeds in their own free time.

marktsang

pay decent wages and treat your staff welll, they will find you....

Wouldnt have thought it would be that hard to find drivers...
Tried local papers? Notice boards? even here on boards??
Depends what area your in i guess..
Local papers are the most common way for finding workers for such jobs..

I think the majority/all delivery persons use their own vehicles already.

What's your business called cgarrad if you dont mind me asking? I ask becuase this new NYP pizza place just opened and the it's fvcking class.Plenty of room for a new pizza place imo. It is almost impossible to find reasonably priced good quality pizza. The prices charged in places like Domino(in particular, shocking), Papa Johns, Apache, Four star are nothing short of extortionate imo. And the cheaper places obviously have crap pizza.


One thing I hate on menus is when it says things like 12" serves 3-4 in order to justify the price. I am sorry but no way in fvcking hell does a 12" pizza ffed four people:eek:

Best idea: look around town, and see where there are lots of mopheads parked. In a shop window nearby, see if you can put a notice asking for drivers.

If all else fails, try nearby colleges.

It's even worse in the UK (Dominos) they charge about 14 quid for a pizza!!! Pizza hut are really cheap over here.

Both are crap though

14 pound!! Very expensive.
Domino's over here is only about NZ$12 for a large pizza.

That's a very interesting idea, has anyone tried it before?
I have no idea about the margins in the pizza business but how much of each sale would you need to pay out to make minimum wage say?
It would also depend on how many deliveries a driver makes in any given hour which would also vary with demand.

Is it even possible to set-up a payment system like this with the minimum wage laws etc?

Yep thats them, I have seen the car going around but I have never had my pizza delivered in one:(

They are just off Wexford street although they are delivery only(they will give you out a pizza if you knock and ask but there is no storefront).


Pizza's are quality and the prices are crazy. Great value. They better not go hiking the prices in a few weeks time though:mad:

Got a pizza there based ona quickie review in Totally Dublin. Have to admit I was pretty disapointed with it. Maybe I was expecting too much but I wasexpecting it to be like decent New York pizza. It was good value though with a good sized pizza, wedges and a coke for €11.
As mentioned above Dominoes in new Zealand is great value. Hells pizza in New Zealand is good pizza though, they do toppings and sauces that are different to most places. In my opinon that's what's needed here, to many pizza places selling the same type of pizzas.
