Tip on pizza idea.<br>Tavern style, get Trumps premade dough balls, thaw, cut into half or 3rds. <br>I cut into 3rds, and can stretch over a 12in screen. Leave on screen and cook, last 2 mins, take off screen,<br>Its doable

I recall a well-known marketing guru, his (tongue in cheek) idea for a food kiosk/cart was a coffee cart called 'Flat White or F*ck Off'. 😂<br>Put them outside train stations or anywhere where time is absolutely critical, have a barista or two constantly pumping out Flat Whites, pre-made. They'll keep hot long enough.<br>If you want sugar, there's a box full of sachets and some wooden stirrers off to the side.<br>No, you can't have a latte. Or a cappuccino. Or anything else.<br>Ordering consists of just shouting a number at the guy at the register, waving your contactless card, grabbing your flat whites and off you go! 😁
