I’m not ready to open a brick and mortar just yet, but I’m still obsessed with learning from pizza operators. From pizza styles to general business advice, the pizzamakers I bring on to this show help you level up in any facet of your life and business. Some of our past guests include World Pizza Champions like Tony Gemignani and Will Grant to Pizza Influencers like @Pizza and @ScottsPizzaProject. Our wide array of guests allow us to

episode 100: A Pizza Consultant’s Key Piece Of Advice When Starting or Scaling w/ Alastair Hannmann of Al The Pizza Buddha
I have the opportunity to interview Alistair Hannmann for the third time on this podcast. In this episode, he will share insights of simplifying processes- whether you’re starting, sustaining, or scaling. We also cover the importance of managing food costs, something that is key for any business.
Highlights:
- Al shares the importance of maximizing vendor relationships- when you are just starting out, start with a broadliner who will take care of you.
- He discusses the techniques for accurately portioning ingredients and scaling recipes for consistent quality and cost control. If you waste an ounce of cheese per pizza, multiply it by however many pizzas you make in a day, a week, a month, and a year- that’s a lot of cheese.
- As a consultant, Al also shares and emphasizes doing more with fewer resources and simplifying processes for efficiency- this is especially key when just starting out.
- Al and I discuss why maintaining an organized workspace will streamline operations and enhance productivity.
