I live in the hood in a good-sized town in California. The nearest take-and-bake pizza is ~2 or 3 miles and mainly serves a separate area of town.
We have a Little Caesars that accepts the cash portion of EBT and they seem to get a hell of a lot of traffic.
Would opening a take-and-bake pizza place that would be able to accept the food stamps portion of EBT be a good decision?

i said california, not alabama. im mexican
>investing in the hood
Not where im going to put my dollars to work

they're building a dollar tree right now on the same road. two things I always thought were needed here were a dollar store and take and bake. I would imagine less of a loss due to theft with the pizza place as well

You need a high interest payday loan store to complete the area

somebody already thought of that :(

It would take a huge return for me to make pizzas for niggers and spics (no offense OP u seem cool)
how common are take and bake pizza places? They exist due to the ebt distinction? I don't live in your country. Frozen pizzas are available at grocers I presume?
personally I don't bother with take and bake because I could either spend the time making something better or spend a bit more and get something ready to eat.
I dunno man, I can't really speculate because I don't know the situation well enough.
what about burritos or something faster to cook at home?

Could someone explain this? Cash portion? All I know about EBT is you can't buy pre-cooked food or whatever.
>>1033852
So? You can still compete with them. Just offer lower rates.
We had a take and bake place in a suburb that was mainly Hispanic and it closed within a couple of months. I think everyone thought it was weird that you had to cook your own food you ordered.

There's the food portion, which can only be used to buy groceries and non-cooked food like Subway sandwiches that aren't toasted or something. Then there's the cash allotment which can be used on literally anything. I've seen people buy cigarettes with it when I used to work retail. There's separate applications and requirements for both

Papa Murphy's is a pretty good sized multi-national take and bake pizza company. I just figured accepting SNAP ("food stamps" portion of EBT) would = more lazy people who get food stamps but not cash EBT to come in
Take and bake pizzas are smart
I go to my local one at least twice a month
You dont need to buy large industrial ovens
also your electric bill and gas bill will be small
those ovens take a fuck ton of electricity
Having homemade subs will be a good add on
all you need is a toaster oven for that.

You're going to get robbed.
Like every day.

Since we are currently on the autism capital of the internet, I'll go ahead and point out that 100% of the pizza ovens I have used and seen ran on Natural Gas which is cheap as dirt right now.

Not if one takes precautions and makes the business a staple of the neighborhood. Have you ever been to the ghetto? Nobody tries to rob the local Chick-Fil-A and most of the time it'll be the nicest looking building in the area.

Bakersfield?
Stupidest business model ever. I can't believe they make any money at all.

Never heard of them.
