expand the ariety on cheaper cuts and make smaller packages. lots of chicken leg quarters, 75 lean ground beef, and frozen stuff(oncor chicken patties, meatballs, wings, ect)
look at what your cutting and the dollar amount like maybe your roast try to stay in the ball park of 10 bucks and have more single pack steaks cause people look and dollar more than anything
I worked at a store that had a high food stamp clientele and at the end of the month we'd usually run 72% lean ground beef at $.79 or round steak at $.79-$.99 or BI chuck steak at the same price. That was 15 years ago. I don't think it really helped though. At the end of the month we'd have record theft rates on ribeyes, t-bone, strips, lobster tails etc. Basically, when our tax dollars couldn't pay for their meals they just stole them.
It's really nice discussion about after food stamps, how, and also really nice above comments, which about after food stamps, how, guys, i also want to say something about it,,, Get a load of what your decreasing and the amount of cash such as perhaps your cook attempt to stay in the games occasion of 10 dollars and have more single bundle hamburger reason people look and cash more than anything
I told my boss we should just work the 15 first days of the month straight through, then close the shop, take the next 15 off. The entire town seems to be on relief. And for the record, governor Romney, almost all of them are Republican.
Really hard to keep man hrs in order when sales drop almost 50% from first of the month to the 4 week in the month , the state is taking all new card holders and spreading them out over more of the month now so maybe soon we will see some relief.
Do you carry any no roll? Yah it's not usually pretty but if a customer has to choose between that or nothing I think many if not most will go for it. It may need a little help in the kitchen (spice, marinade etc.) but beats the hell outta ramen noodles lol! Can't always just cut what we like or what's best, gotta look for ways to help customers stretch their dollar. The costs of N.R. are cheap enough that if any are real bad we just grind em'. We get a few "dish rags" in the mix but some pretty decent stuff also.
