Was hoping somebody here can help me. Has anyone ordered Pizza Pizza's "Pickup Specials" on their website? Not sure if I am allowed to order as a "guest" or I have to create an account?

Here's my question. Why is there a delivery charge of $3.75 during the checkout? My order I'm specifically trying to do a pickup and get the pickup special and it's not a delivery.
Based on sales, 2.5% commission. Friday and Saturday nights you get bumped up to 3%. It's pre-tax not post tax commission. They also charge you a fee for direct deposit.
You need to follow a script, people can get really nasty placing an order (drunk, high, stupid, calling back because they forgot something). Those are all time wasters and you get $0 unless they place an order. You can average around 15 calls per hour but subtract the non-commission ones.
Apply online, pay a fee ($50 non refundable) and you get sent a video session which you then do tests on. Once you pass the test you can start working. You need to give them Remote Access to your computer to let them install the program and configure it for you.HghSsociety wrote: ↑ How/where did you apply for this job?

Have you received time to time those soundboard prank callers ie. Jack Nicholson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dr. Phil? What was the funniest prank order call you got?OrangeBerry wrote: ↑ You need to follow a script, people can get really nasty placing an order (drunk, high, stupid, calling back because they forgot something).

Never
99% of the time, it's not like anyone is looking.Cheapo-Findo wrote: ↑Do you answer calls in just your undies sometimes?
Exactly how would I know the answer to your question if this thread is about order taking from a phone inside your home? But I can take a wild guess, first off Pizza Pizza locations inside theatres or events like at the CNE don't apply the same methods as they would inside a retail store and that is because these locations are setup as a mobile station so all their inventory comes on a daily basis. The dough for example is different in the sense that their slices are smaller than the typical slice you would find at a retail location because they use a smaller size pan sheet but still like to charge the full price. Pizza Pizza's biggest delivery size is XL while in-store offers XXL for slices only. At the mobile locations they are probably using XL pies and cutting them into 6, not that it changes the flavor of the pizza but more often than not they are using a pizza press that uses heat to compress the dough into a circle using oil. This gives the pizza a different texture and changes the dynamics of the pizza. Also believe they might be using a different distributor for the cheese as it's probably not grated in-store so they buy it in prepackaged bags and it might come with sharper tone. Lastly, some mobile locations don't have a full size traditional convection ovens like you typically see in retail locations so they step it down a notch and install an electric conveyor oven like the ones you remember seeing at Wing Machine or Dominos, this outputs a product in a different type of finish which melts the cheese even more. Ever notice Pizza Pizza in theatres how the cheese is more burnt than the retail locations??? That's a combination of using conveyor belt ovens and most likely cheese is shredded into miniature small balls versus stringy cheese. All these small things change the chemistry of the Pizza.
$50 fee to get a job? Was it worth the fee vs the income made? Are you still doing this job? ThxOrangeBerry wrote: ↑ Based on sales, 2.5% commission. Friday and Saturday nights you get bumped up to 3%. It's pre-tax not post tax commission. They also charge you a fee for direct deposit.

You can average slightly above minimum wage if you put in the effort and work the weekends at night. It all depends on how big the orders go through. Personally College/University orders were the worst because they had a special code for each college and then the student plans on using their student card, wants special requests and then sometimes messes up on the instructions.HghSsociety wrote: ↑How much money are you making per hour doing this on average? Are there times where you are sitting there for 45 minutes doing nothing other than watching netflix or playing games?
The $50 is essentially to prove to the employer that you want the job and you are serious about it, think of how many people would apply and the people recruiting them would spend on each one just for them to later say, "f*ck it!". It puts the person forking out the money to make the extra effort and make it work. I quit the job because it was suppose to be a side thing but they were expecting me to work weekend nights and I had to be up early in the morning for my actual job.
I usually order online to take advantage of the survey code to get free promos but I typically call in when I have a problem with an order.DiceMan wrote: ↑ Can you do this while out and about? Can you do this while doing another job?
You have to be stationary next to a laptop or desktop with your mic on your head to take calls. A lot of punching of the keyboard and mouse clicking required. Unless you're asking if you can take your work on the cottage and work for a few hours then the answer is yes as long as you have internet connection.
Just a comment about taking phone orders. Myself, I honestly can't remember the last time I placed a pizza order over the phone - though it's certainly before 2005. I've been orderiing pizza online for years.
Pizza Pizza from places run by Aramark (SBA, Centreville, office cafeterias, etc.) are usually quite good, whereas the regular locations are very hit or miss.
I was in a sports box last night and we had entire pizza pizza boxes delivered to us. Everything was different: the crust, the cheese, you could even smell the oregano in the sauce. Much better than the crap most other places serveShimso wrote: ↑ Pizza Pizza from places run by Aramark (SBA, Centreville, office cafeterias, etc.) are usually quite good, whereas the regular locations are very hit or miss.
I think the regular locations sometimes have owners who try to use as few sauce, cheese and toppings as they can get away with, while that's not a concern for the high-margin places.
