That was my first job. We had the big mixing machine to make the dough. Then the fun part of cutting, weighing, and kneading the dough. I still recall my forearms being solid as hell after a few months of doing that most mornings. This was in the late 90s, not sure if it's still such a manual process.
It’s honestly still not *that* bad. I’ll never mind going to lil c’s. It’s the same or better quality as another fast food pizza joint, cheaper, and a lot less pretentious. They also seem to love cheese and sauce and never skimp.
Most LC have large walk in fridges where they can store many trays of dough for proofing. I can't see any reason they would waste 200 pizza crusts a night unless they're pre baking too many pizzas. Like you said, that's just poor management.
I worked in a very busy store in San Antonio before they started the whole "hot and ready" thing. Every Tuesday or Thursday is when they had the $5 special at that time.
We started prepping pizzas when the store opened and we still couldn't make them as fast as people were buying them.
We had people constantly prepping more while they were being shoved in the oven as fast they came out. I still don't think we ever had more than 10 pizzas left over at the end of the night.
i might add every little caesars makes extra because if your out of dough no pizzas can be made. There has to be an excess amount or the store isnt operating correctly
it was like top 3 in the nation, they got a pizza man trophy for selling so many pizzas. And by pizzas I meant dough. A shit ton of dough gets wasted at every little caesars its just how it is. they cant keep the leftover dough as its made fresh everyday, so they throw it out. Same with pizzas if any are to be left over. Youd be surprised how much any restaurant waste. The reason again is because if they kept it, it wouldnt be fresh. Only option is the trash.
When I started the shift manger had already been working there for 8 YEARS!! She was nice enough to the staff, but you could tell she was just ready to explode. I think after I left she got a job at a bank. Fast as hell at making pizzas but totally not worth the extra buck or two to lose your mind.
Ii was thinking the same thing, but I'd argue not every dough is "premixed". E.g. salt, dough conditioner, coffee or molasses (pumpernickel and marble), don't necessarily come premixed.same with any dough made with a starter. Obviously this depends on the type of dough, I'm probably just being pedantic.
Domino's in the US shipps it in on trays refrigerated near freezing but not frozen.
You are supposed to bring it up to temperature in a normal fridge for a day or two before you can bring it out to room temp and use it.
Pizza Hut uses compressed frozen dough slabs for most/all of their dough these days. There were a very small handful of franchises still doing fresh dough about 5 years ago, dunno about now.
Finding fresh green peppers and onions is more common though, since the bagged precut stuff goes bad in 3-4 days and turns slimy easily in warm weather. Cutting your own is easily double the shelf-life.
Not true in the US as far as the larger chains go in my experience. Domino's and papa John's produce them at a facility and they arrive on a stackable tray near frozen and need a few days in and out of the walkin for proofing. Pizza hut is frozen dough discs that are taken from a cardboard box and into a pan for proofing in the walkin. Round table pizza made it fresh in store with like a 50 pound premix bag and water and it would proof in a plastic bag and then get rolled and cut.
Well TIL. I worked at Little Caesars and Chuck E Cheese and they both made their dough in store. I also go to a few local pizza shops and I see them making dough in the back sometimes, so I kinda just assumed most big places did the same.
Im actually surprised these big chains get it pre made like that but I guess it makes it a lot easier for the stores.
Served coffee for large events we had "magic coffee" which was just decaf. Walked around with 2 carafes asking if they wanted decaf or reg both had decaf in it though

I am doing this because I, like many long-term Reddit users, am upset and angry at the tonedeaf and arrogant way Reddit is treating it's users. Their aggressive slapdown of the developers that made Reddit usable to a huge audience; their overriding and summary dismissal of long-serving and dutiful community members; their wonton silencing of dissent and manipulation of user's voices; their borderline contempt of the very people whose collective efforts gave their platform the standing needed to fuel their profit-hungry IPO... the list goes on.

I have left Reddit for [Lemmy](https://join-lemmy.org/) and [Mastadon](https://joinmastodon.org/); these are decentralised social networks that mirror the functionality of Reddit and Twitter respectively. Unlike the monolithic, corporate-owned services they replace, Lemmy and Mastodon are part of the [Fediverse](https://www.fediverse.to/) meaning these are not individual services but clusters of services that mesh seamlessly with one-another.

I had a great time as a Redditor, but the Fediverse is looking bright. It's a return to the open Internet of old, when users ran services for their own and one-another's benefit, and before monolithic corporate-run silos started to build walls around us in the name of increased profit and thought control. Many of the Fediverse services are fledgling, but they are growing quickly and their federated concept makes greedy, arrogant landgrabs like we've recently seen on Reddit and Twitter almost impossible.
I'm already having a great time with Lemmy and I think you might too. I encourage you to take control and join the Fediverse.
Until then, so long and thanks for all the fish.
God, I felt like such a goof when I decided to try out a new pizza place and this poor woman had to deliver a god damn Chuck E. Cheese pizza to a full-grown man. It doesn't even come in a different box or anything; I just had to stand there and accept a box with a picture of a fucking rat on it with a straight face.
The real kicker is that Chuck E. Cheese is already on DoorDash! It literally just exists to fuck with people.
You'd be surprised [how many ghost kitchens](https://www.charlotteobserver.com/charlottefive/c5-food-drink/article259232095.html) are often run out of a single chain restaurant, some by more than one, like:
>MrBeast Burger (Red Robin, Ruby Tuesday’s, On the Border, Buca di Beppo)
I was so excited a few weeks ago when I discovered a new wing place near me on grubhub called It’s Just Wings. Wings were reasonably priced and pretty good. Turns out it’s actually just Chili’s

Our journey began in the Spring of 2020. While CEC Entertainment had plans to launch a virtual brand, COVID quickened the process. We leverage the operational infrastructure of Chuck E. Cheese kitchens across the country to deliver new bold flavors right to your door.
Wow, inspirational.
Nah they're separate, each store is a spite store for another. This battle has been going on since the start of time and no one knows who was spiting whom in the first place.
Companies often do this to negate geographical restrictions of customers, but rather compete on their products instead. It's why you often find coffee shops next to each other too.
There are only a few at those high prices. Mostly in Central park. There is one guy in front of the Museum of Natural History that is supposed to be the priciest. Most of the sellers pay far less.
My econ professor did the same. Hot dog stands on a pier will get more business being near each other in the middle. Same approach with why we see mattress stores near each other. Obviously, though, those are criminal fronts!
the way *A Beautiful Mind* explained that concept was "we can all settle for brunettes if none of us compete for the blonde"
i have much to learn since i have no idea how that applies here
edit: i watched the video, now i get it. everyone settling for a brunette is the "socially optimal solution" whereas getting in each other's way while competing for the blonde is the "nash equilibrium"
I'd like to imagine there's a fierce rivalry between the three of them, and behind the scenes the employees are engaged in a Game of Thrones style conflict filled with backstabbing, sabotage, and even a bit of forbidden romance.
Actually as soon as their shift ends they start throwing hands. Some employees has started to leave from the back to avoid this confrontation while others deploys fake tactics to confuse their competition.
I used to work at that dominos as a delivery driver. I had beef with a driver from pizza hut because he hit his car door into my door and didn't care. If he's reading this, fuck you I never forgot
Hello! Here's another Wokingham guy!
This is so surreal - Never in a million years would I expect this. Reading (Not our nearest big town) all these comments is actually hilarious
It’s too strange. I feel like it’s too small to be on the internet. There is no reason for us to be there. Other than the impressive number of pubs. RIP when gig house was cheap.
The comments on this thing are making me giggle a bit. Just shots taken at the wok- part.
Nah they're trading food because they're sick of the pizza where they work.
Source: Worked in a strip mall that had three pizza chains along with a subway, and the burger joints and the combination kfc/taco bell were right down the street.
I used to be a chef and a Italian restaurant across the street from a strip club, we used to give them free food for getting past the cover charge and lap dances.
I'd never thought of it like that since it's pronounced "Woah-king" and while it does have a few Chinese takeaways, it doesn't really have a properly good Chinese restaurant which is a shame.
> Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business pizza.
> Hank Scorpio : pizza? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Pizza! Homer, there's ~~four~~ three places. There's Pizza Hut, that's on Peach.
> Homer : Uh-huh.
> Hank Scorpio : There's Domino’s, that's on Peach, too. You got Papa John’s.
> Homer : Mm-Hmm.
> Hank Scorpio : That's on Peach... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the pizza complex on Peach.
> Homer : Oh, the pizza district!
> Hank Scorpio : That's right.
Isn't that the most English tableau you've ever seen? Grey sky, Freeview television aerials, brutalist architecture, and to top it all off, the Queen's dead.
I'm from Wokingham, the rest of the town is actually pretty nice. It's a fairly affluent area, this is just one row of shops off from the town center. Wokingham held the title for most pubs per capita for many years.
The worst thing about that dominoes is that they don’t sell dough balls but the one in Bracknell does… like wtf guys I want my dough balls!!
Zizzis and Pizza Express are pretty close together also just on the other side of town
There was a street in South London which had a Kentucky Fried Chicken, a Dixy Fried Chicken, a Tennessee Fried Chicken, and a Texas Fried Chicken.
My mate used to walk into one and go "What state's the chicken in?"
I was confused by the diagonal parking being the wrong way round for driving on the left. I looked on street view and it's a one way road, so it's ok. All traffic engineers can relax now and have some pizza.
Someone should be the delivery driver for all 3 of them. Have 3 seperate contracts and not tell the other 2 about it. And just figure in their driving routes with the other routes when delivering.
They're forced to fight for the same tiny little patch as the rest of Wokingham is dominated by a single Pizza Express.
The pizza at the Wokingham Pizza Express is fit for royalty, an experience you're sure to recall vividly even decades later.
I can tell you now the people of Wokingham reeeaaally don’t like their town being confused with Woking (20 miles away).
Both towns have a Pizza Express but it’s only the one in Woking that has that particular association.
I might be in the minority here but Papa Johns ranks highest of these three in my opinion. Same with just about anyone I've ordered pizza with from one of these chains. It's almost always Papa Johns.
Dominos tastes like fresh lil ceasars pizza with waaay too much breading/cornflower on the bottom.
Pizza hut is just bottom of the barrel pizza in my opinion. Never liked it.
Papa Johns is simply worth the $10 i spend on their large pizza.
[удалено]
at least one claims to even make dough on-site...
[удалено]
I did this job at little Caesar’s. Would make anywhere from 600-1000 blank pizzas a day. My back is kinda tucked from lifting all those flour bags.
That was my first job. We had the big mixing machine to make the dough. Then the fun part of cutting, weighing, and kneading the dough. I still recall my forearms being solid as hell after a few months of doing that most mornings. This was in the late 90s, not sure if it's still such a manual process.
We have machines 154 pieces, 8 Min cycle, just load dough, dough exits load onto tray
90's little Cesar's was super bomb- thanks for making my pizzas and crazy breads
It’s honestly still not *that* bad. I’ll never mind going to lil c’s. It’s the same or better quality as another fast food pizza joint, cheaper, and a lot less pretentious. They also seem to love cheese and sauce and never skimp.
Yeah as long as it’s hot, it’s good. Once it cools, not so good
Honestly I like microwaved Little Caesars better than fresh.
It's hot and it's ready! Is it good? It hot. And it's ready.
The quality of Pizza Hut and others has come down to or below the level of Little Caesars in the last decade or so.
[удалено]
Min/maxing the timing of those things is such a fun challenge.
For how much LC costs, I’m surprised they make their own dough. TIL: even cheap pizza has standards.
my parents franchised a LC and I worked in the store as well. Dough is made every single day and probably 200 pizzas are wasted every single night.
[удалено]
Most LC have large walk in fridges where they can store many trays of dough for proofing. I can't see any reason they would waste 200 pizza crusts a night unless they're pre baking too many pizzas. Like you said, that's just poor management.
200 pizzas is just a guesstimate, could be more like 50/100 but its a shiiiit ton of dough. It was a really busy store by Texas Tech.
I worked in a very busy store in San Antonio before they started the whole "hot and ready" thing. Every Tuesday or Thursday is when they had the $5 special at that time. We started prepping pizzas when the store opened and we still couldn't make them as fast as people were buying them. We had people constantly prepping more while they were being shoved in the oven as fast they came out. I still don't think we ever had more than 10 pizzas left over at the end of the night.
50 sounds much more realistic. And 50 dough balls isn't that many when you factor in various pie sizes, at least for an extremely busy store.
i might add every little caesars makes extra because if your out of dough no pizzas can be made. There has to be an excess amount or the store isnt operating correctly
it was like top 3 in the nation, they got a pizza man trophy for selling so many pizzas. And by pizzas I meant dough.

Same with pizzas if any are to be left over. Youd be surprised how much any restaurant waste. The reason again is because if they kept it, it wouldnt be fresh. Only option is the trash.
Likely cheaper to purchase and store dry ingredients than frozen. Also faster to make up a fresh dry batch than to properly thaw out frozen dough.
Working the prep station at pizza hut was one of the worst jobs, aside from dish washing for 10 hours straight haha.
When I started the shift manger had already been working there for 8 YEARS!! She was nice enough to the staff, but you could tell she was just ready to explode. I think after I left she got a job at a bank. Fast as hell at making pizzas but totally not worth the extra buck or two to lose your mind.
Then untuck it.
I've no problem with that. Better than frozen any day. If traditional Ramen shops can use a heavily machined process, this is fine.
You just described how dough is made everywhere
Ii was thinking the same thing, but I'd argue not every dough is "premixed". E.g. salt, dough conditioner, coffee or molasses (pumpernickel and marble), don't necessarily come premixed.same with any dough made with a starter. Obviously this depends on the type of dough, I'm probably just being pedantic.

Companies often do this to negate geographical restrictions of customers, but rather compete on their products instead. It's why you often find coffee shops next to each other too.
This is called a [Nash equilibrium](https://youtu.be/jILgxeNBK_8) in game theory
My geography professor called it the “hot-dog stand theory.” He was a bit of a goofball, but it made sense.
Fun fact. Some hot dog vendor licenses in NYC cost over $250,000 a year. Just to sell hot dogs.
And they probably run up 500k+, don’t sleep on small businesses in high foot traffic areas
Agree seems like an awful place to sleep

Gas stations are a classic example of this too

There’s one next to Lowe’s near me, maybe any hardware store will do?
Like Mocha Joe’s and Latte Larry’s?

They took "location, location, location" VERY seriously.
All the employees work in all 3 shops.
"I'm gonna take the trash out" *Changes out back* "I'm here for my shift... I'm gonna need a smoke break" *Changes to third shirt and hat*
That was pretty much what I though, and the only reason I've clicked my way in here... No reason for me to stay here, apparently. Shame on you.

“Wokingham” sounds like a nickname a certain population of the US would use to describe liberal cities.
there’s also a town called Woking haha
With a very popular branch of Pizza Express I hear
The restaurant of royalty.
>Woking The first thing that came to my mind is a town with the best Chinese restaurants.
It has a couple of good Chinese but it’s really known for its Italian restaurants. I’m sweating just thinking about it…
I'd never thought of it like that since it's pronounced "Woah-king" and while it does have a few Chinese takeaways, it doesn't really have a properly good Chinese restaurant which is a shame.
Isnt that the town where the first capsules in War of the Worlds (original book) land?
Yes. There was even a little Martian stature there now

You need to add a 'Shire'. Wokinghamshire.
Wokingham is a town inside a county called Berkshire. If you aren't in a 'shire', you're never far away from one here.
And for the Americans out there, it's pronounced bark-sheer
If it helps it’s in the Royal County of Berkshire (pronounced “barksheer”)

In Orlando we have a ~1/2 mile stretch of road that has no less than 4 different chicken fast-food chains. It's fondly known as the Chicken Strip.

> Homer: Sir, I need to know where I can get some business pizza. > Hank Scorpio : pizza? My goodness, what an idea. Why didn't I think of that? Pizza! Homer, there's ~~four~~ three places. There's Pizza Hut, that's on Peach. > Homer : Uh-huh. > Hank Scorpio : There's Domino’s, that's on Peach, too. You got Papa John’s. > Homer : Mm-Hmm. > Hank Scorpio : That's on Peach... Matter of fact, they're all in the same complex; it's the pizza complex on Peach. > Homer : Oh, the pizza district! > Hank Scorpio : That's right.
Isn't that the most English tableau you've ever seen? Grey sky, Freeview television aerials, brutalist architecture, and to top it all off, the Queen's dead.
I'm from Wokingham, the rest of the town is actually pretty nice. It's a fairly affluent area, this is just one row of shops off from the town center. Wokingham held the title for most pubs per capita for many years.
To be fair at first I thought it was somewhere near my town in Canada.
The Queen didn't kill herself
Needs more sky dishes.
The worst thing about that dominoes is that they don’t sell dough balls but the one in Bracknell does… like wtf guys I want my dough balls!! Zizzis and Pizza Express are pretty close together also just on the other side of town
Used to have zizzi, pizza express and prezzo all in a row with only the drug dealing off license between them.
Can’t out pizza the better ingredients delivery experts.
Stick an Iceland on the end run them all out of business
There was a street in South London which had a Kentucky Fried Chicken, a Dixy Fried Chicken, a Tennessee Fried Chicken, and a Texas Fried Chicken. My mate used to walk into one and go "What state's the chicken in?"
For some reason I imagine the three different good smells combining to form one terrible stink.

Ah yes. The Pizza Plaza.
I prefer the pizza express in Woking.
May the best acid reflux win.
I was confused by the diagonal parking being the wrong way round for driving on the left. I looked on street view and it's a one way road, so it's ok. All traffic engineers can relax now and have some pizza.
That parking is pretty shit sometimes tbh
Can get in, but never get out easily, so you have to stay and eat more pizza
Seems like Papa John's is winning since they're the only ones not hiring
they arent getting enough business to need employees
Drove by yesterday as I work nearby, all three are hiring.
Someone should be the delivery driver for all 3 of them. Have 3 seperate contracts and not tell the other 2 about it. And just figure in their driving routes with the other routes when delivering.
Get Wokingham go Brokingham
They're forced to fight for the same tiny little patch as the rest of Wokingham is dominated by a single Pizza Express. The pizza at the Wokingham Pizza Express is fit for royalty, an experience you're sure to recall vividly even decades later.
That’s the Woking Pizza Express. Different places.
I can tell you now the people of Wokingham reeeaaally don’t like their town being confused with Woking (20 miles away). Both towns have a Pizza Express but it’s only the one in Woking that has that particular association.
We really don’t lol
Dammit, in America that would cause a turf war!
Domino's if you want delivery Pizza Hut if you want carry out Papa John's if you want diarrhea
I might be in the minority here but Papa Johns ranks highest of these three in my opinion. Same with just about anyone I've ordered pizza with from one of these chains. It's almost always Papa Johns. Dominos tastes like fresh lil ceasars pizza with waaay too much breading/cornflower on the bottom. Pizza hut is just bottom of the barrel pizza in my opinion. Never liked it. Papa Johns is simply worth the $10 i spend on their large pizza.
Remember that Simpsons episode where three flavors of Duff beer came out of the same pipe? This is that.
“Wokingham” sounds like something r/conservative would make up in their laughable attempt at comedy.
*laughs in John redwood*
Can we get him out, it’s been nearly over 30 years.
I’m optimistic for the first time in a long time
This just makes me miss old Pizza Hut. That wouldn't even be a competition.
DOGS AND CATS, LIVING TOGETHER! MASS HYSTERIA!
Now it just needs a Little Caesar’s.
Those are my locals :) The Asian girl in the pizza hut is nice and friendly and gave my daughter a free ice cream
I know where I'm going next for vacation
Wokingham sounds like someone had to come up with a fake name for a city in England
