I want to love Fired Pie, I keep coming back! However, it really bothers me when they are so overly anal about portion sizes. I totally understand cost controls can make or break a restaurant, however, either you want make it appear to your customer you are generous, or you just want to show you are plain greedy! My son ordered a pizza, they measured the cheese so precise they took some out of the cup before putting it on the pizza and then the cheese barely covered the top. I ordered a salad, they wanted to charge me extra for extra salad dressings. It just plain didn't have enough on! I didn't want dressing with a salad, but a little more would have been excellent for $8!!!!
Do your cost controls, but not to the point where your customers are clearly noticing!!!
