Menu
Menu development is so important to the management of Pizza House ,Inc. that the
menu is reevaluated on a daily basis and all promotional menu items are tracked
according to popularity and operating margin. Our entire menu is priced and
portioned to reflect a minimum 30% cost of goods sold, food and 23%, beverage
( See supporting documents section, portion and pricing model, MENU) , and we
monitor the competitions advertisements daily in order to remain competitive. Our
most important offer within our menu versus our current competition is Pizza
delivery. Our classic Pizza House fare has also been designed to take advantage of
the current trends within the Industry. Our main focus is the family and locals so
we have developed our own signature New York Style . Freshness is a key
component to our menu and reflected throughout the menu, including the way that
we prepare the food to order. The customer will get it their way. Harry Smith
learned years ago that food has to touch all of the senses, and nothing smells quite
like a fresh hot garlic roll out of the oven to entice hunger.
Made in our ovens around the clock the Pizza House provides fresh garlic rolls to
every full service customer. Different types of fresh bread are made to coincide
with the Pizza House Specials and as the customer sits down, complimentary fresh
hot garlic rolls or a sample of our fresh Italian baked breads are brought
immediately to the table.

Inventory;
We will be using the entire "FoodTrac" software program interfaced with our point
of sale touch screen system. This system will give us a detailed report analysis
daily of our current par and bulk inventories and allow us to catch any
discrepancies in food preparations, or pilferage. This will also allow us to
completely control our perishable consumption and manage our inventory costs
keeping necessary working capital off of the shelf and in the bank.
The Pizza House motif will be that of a New York Style Pizzeria, with comfortable
table and booth seating. Customers will feel invited to stay for any length of time
during our operating hours. Lighting will be bright and cheery during the day and
soft light with glowing candles during the evening hours. The Pizza House will
have Italian music during the morning and afternoon hours and will invite local
talent to perform on certain evenings. Once our customer has indulged in one of
our specialty pizzas and/ or one of our delectable menu items, he will certainly
return time and again.
