These places are universal.

It's awesome that it has the gear you need, but for the love of all that is za, check zoning, plumbing, electrical, anything still under warranty, anything been repaired recently, bugs, rats, gremlins, local gang protection rackets, secret passages...

Hello guys, sorry i was unable to give you a decent reply over the last couple of days, but its been manic and I've been up to my eyeballs in work, there is indeed no rest for the wicked. Again a fantastic set of responses and I'll begin from the top...

Stormy, a stir fried veg special? I'm willing to give it a go and I think it may have some luck, so the Stormys Vegetarian Stir-fry is a go... I'll start it as a guest and work it into the menu if it has a modicum of success. Abyss, your grill idea is also very good and will guest too, but you already have a name, so I'll call it the vegetable grill. These two along with a standard vegetarian should round up the vegetarians nicely. Awesome.

Tell you what AIJ if you can figure your name into it better than i and it sounds catchy, I'll give it ya, But "Just a potato pie" has a nice ring to it. dontcha think?

Veng I'm going to go with the deep dish one, for aesthetic reasons, so is there any pizza that stands out as chicagos special one? I'm interested.

Bwoodus, I plan to have a place everywhere , but you might have to wait for a bit for me to get to mancuniland.

Tarcanus, I was too late with La dolce pizza and there are loads of them in England now, my partners name is sohail, so we could call him Sully and the place could be called Frookie and Sully...or as someone earlier said that pizza place...I dunno, we'll think of something. Even if it is called Frookies, I'll make it up to my partner somehow Much of your food related responses can be attributed to taste, but I will of course give customers choice as to how much or how little they want on their pizzas. With regards to 2l bottles...as a business man, I'd much rather sell 2 1.25 litre bottles and will give discounts for bulk With regards to the online ordering system, man thats something to be worried about once you're running, I have yet to walk

names...errr...No

Alt, i agree, a forum would be a poor choice and is subject to much abuse. if a person wants to order online the payment would have to be in full. however,I would much rather someone other than a student would set it up cos what you going to sue them for if they fuck up your trade considerably? Best to get it done with a company...It'll happen, but I want everything running before I go after the online community in Bedford and its environs.

Illy, do you not have milk free cheeses? I'm sure if you explained your situation and brought down some cheese and asked em to put it on instead of the normal stuff...you can have pizzas again. hold on, I'm guessing here...is this even possible?

Cheers rodeo, I am very excited. Here's hoping to many satisfied customers and oodles of money. Ditto to Hoosier. Oh and if any Malazanites manage to hit bedord at any point, they'll get friends and family rates. Cant say better than that

Actually Apt, this particular one is particularly bad, but hey ho...And yes it needs a super dooper clean thel.

Don't worry Abyss, my eyes'll be wide open and I'll sift through every nook and cranny looking for a secret passage to the underworl...hold on! crazy, just crazy.

The place itself is on a road that leads directly out from the town. There is some decent footfall and a cab office upstairs, so If I can entice people to come this way...then they can get home too afterwards. A boom box in the evening playing the latest pop and some mamed up arcade machines in the front and a fag machine for the punters. I might have a n internet cafe for the daytime and serve good coffee, but that's for later and there is good space for it all. One thing, on the route out of town there are two takeaways before mine, but who the hell cares, I plan to be the taste master and if I'm good enough, well, bedford is mine for the taking. Muhahaha...ahem.

Right, I've had a word with the guy and he's going to sort out a lease for me and it looks like we are really starting to move now. Gods I'm really scared. Listen guys you have been fantastic and I really am grateful, honestly. If at all possible, do not be shy to post anything that you consider to be a good idea, cos seriously all is good. Thanks again chaps...and ladies.

Right i'm off to the slavemines, but I'll be free soon enough

edit: how many smileys?

I guess I'll throw a few potential names out there.

Viva Pizzeria

Pizza Aroma

Empire Pizza

Good luck, Frook!

You need to get at least one Asian to work in the shop. I don't know why, but all the best non-chain pizza places have Asians.

Actually what he needs to do is to get himself a pack of winged monkeys trained to make Pizza. It will be awesome.

Wide thread is wide.

But congrats Frookie. Your pics are making me hungry.

Surely he should make his winged monkeys into deliverymen... They can fly over rooftops and deliver pizza faster than a normal monkey/driver!

And who doesn't want their pizza delivered by a flying monkey?

[frookenhauer]

Cheers slum me old mate, I'm going to need it and a barrel full of dedication. Once set up, it'll be 12 hour plus shifts for god knows how long...*cries a little* With regards to the name, I think I am going to go with what you guys said about making it mine, cos every good sounding name is already taken, so our best bet is to call it Frookie and Sullies or somesuch.

RLY...I am an asian My partner and i are both from Kashmir, but I'm assuming you mean oriental. We'll see what we can come up with...

Terez honey cheers, but the thumbprint aint on the contract yet, so save the congrats for a bit...

Winged monkeys...flippin heck, what an idea, if you hear of any going cheap, I'm willing to pay them minimum wage and all the bananas they can eat.

And now the wait begins...jeez, I'm waiting for the guy to get his shit together and sort out his lease, but...the wait is killing me, and thoughts of what if he sells? and if he's really interested or is waiting for a better offer or...are just plain bugging me. I think I'll give him till Wednesday before chasing him up and see whats what.
