SIGNATURE DISH
Have you got one yet? If your busier periods are around lunch time, after school or early evening you need to find yourself a signature dish for your shop.
Make sure it’s very tasty, desirable, quick and easy to prepare and it must be presented constantly at the high level.
Here are a couple of new & different ideas you could try.
Aussie Club Sandwich
Between 3 slices of toast add the following
1st Slice of toast then
- Lettuce
- Beetroot
- Tomato
2nd Slice of toast then
- Egg
- Bacon
Chicken or Lamb or Beef (ring PFD and see what they have)
3rd Slice of toast
You can add some Sauce or Mustard and Salt & Pepper
Cut diagonally in half and serve with serviettes for $9.90 whether they are ‘Eating In’ or ‘Take Away’
Pasty Sandwich
A member recently told us that ‘This is the only way they would eat a pasty.’ This is totally unique and no image available on the internet.
It could be a world 1st.
Take a hot Balfours pasty and gently cut and lift the pasty lid without breaking the lid away from the pasty
Add either some or all the following
- Grated Cheese
- Shredded Ham
- Sliced Tomato
- Shredded Lettuce
If you add all the above lines the sell price would be around $5.95 but be careful as the presentation is very important.
BALFOURS
The bread price is about to be increased from the 1st July 2014. At this time the cost price will be increased to $2.38 (normally $2.80) with a suggested sell between $2.95 and $3.25.
Use Bread Price to drag customers into your shop.
MEMBERS INSURANCE
ProtectIt Insurance Brokers - Doug Napier 08-82988861
A country member recently told us that by changing over to ProtectIt Insurance Brokers he saved nearly $2000 per year on his insurance premiums.
Call Doug and ask for a no obligation free quote
It would also pay to ask about ‘Audit Insurance’. This insurance will cover you against the costs of an audit of your business by the ATO.
The stress and worry you will be put under by an audit check from the ATO is considerable.
The cost can also be exorbitant. As you get your accountant involved and as you spend time answering questions and filling in paperwork & questionnaires you will incur substantial extra costs to your business.
Don’t get caught and insure yourself against these costs and take the stress out of your business audit.

You will still see the same territory managers as before on a regular basis. The range of products may be bigger, in some cases the price will be better and the service should be as brilliant as the service you give to your customers.
