Welcome... To our eighteenth edition of The Last Bite! As the weather warms up and COVID regulations are being lifted, these next several months are an exciting time for our community. As we hit the year mark of shutdowns from COVID-19, we reflect on this past year and the curve ball it has thrown to our customers. Through this difficult time, we have seen flexibility and resilience from them. We are certain that with the coming of the new season, our customer’s businesses will prosper greatly. We all have learned and adapted from this dark time and will use this knowledge to better our business operations moving forward. As some of you may know, Ferraro has now expanded into the Sunshine State -- Ocala, Florida. This expansion was made possible by the strategic partnership formed with Cremosa Food Company and New Cremflora Foods. In March, the unification and collaboration efforts had taken place in both locations as Ferraro’s senior leadership met with and welcomed Cremosa Food Company associates at each location. We are thrilled to have these hardworking, dedicated associates join us here at Ferraro Foods. See more about this on page 6. In this edition, we will discuss the importance for our customers to establish a presence on social media, the benefits and drawbacks to using a third-party delivery service, as well as how to take great pictures of your food with your smartphone. As we have done in previous editions, we have featured customers who have been kind enough to be interviewed by us. These customers provide insight to what works for them and we hope our readers are able to transfer their knowledge to their own business endeavors. We thank you for your continued support.
Best regards,

FERRARO FOODS OF NORTH CAROLINA CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT Interviewed: Stephen Mcneill
Account serviced by: Miled Sleiman
History:
Salvatore Looz, Stephen’s father-in-law and current owner, dreamed of opening an authentic NY style pizzeria franchise. Salvatore’s father was an immigrant from Naples, Italy who found opportunity over 40 years ago in High Point, NC where he opened Elizabeth’s Pizza. Salvatore himself succeeded in opening his first 2 pizzerias in Asheboro, NC which he named Times Square Pizzeria. This family operated business has been in business for 8 years now.
What is the most popular item on the menu?
The most popular menu item is by far our pizza. We offer several unique gourmet pizzas like the Grilled Chicken Balsamic and the ever so popular and spicy Hell’s Kitchen and creations we make on a daily basis. Pizza is our number one specialty and source for creativity. Our regular slices sell out every day and we are constantly making new house pies. Close behind our pizza is our Philly Cheesesteaks, which are a staple in the triad area.
What sets Time Square apart from the competition?
Our pizzeria is different from others in this area because we bring the authenticity of a NY pizzeria. We have huge glass display cases with Italian & American desserts. We also sell many slices, stromboli, wraps, and other creations from the display. My colleagues and myself have created a system to bring Sal’s franchised vision to life and to bring this style pizzeria into the mainstream. It is a wonderful success that I’m happy to be a part of.

Greensboro 101 Elmsley Meadows Ln Greensboro, NC 27406 (336) 334-7473 @TimesSquareGSO Website: tsqpizza.com
What do you enjoy the most about operating a restaurant?
The restaurant business is a beautiful monster. It takes a ton of hard work and sacrifice to be successful. From the comradery to creating something beautiful with our minds & hands for someone to enjoy, they are wonderful feelings. The kitchen has a vibe pulsing through it that makes it a beautiful place, where lives are shared and bonds formed.
Any advice for other restaurant owners?
The advice I can give other restaurant owners is that the sky is the limit in the wonderful products you can create with the Ferraro Foods team. They strive to make your goals become a reality. If you can dream it then Ferraro Foods will help drive you to culinary success. The relationship between food distributor and restaurant owner should be rooted in nothing other than trust & at Times Square Pizzeria we have been able to hold and maintain that bond with Ferraro Foods.
Stephen Mcneill (far left) with the Times Square crew
“Keep an eye out for Times Square Pizzeria because we have so many amazing things to come on the Southern East Coast. We are building an empire to expand upon greatly with an amazing crew at each location and so much dedication to success.” - Stephen Mcneill

T
he COVID pandemic amplified the importance of being present on social media. At an isolated and confusing time, restaurant owners were able to communicate effectively with their customers. As businesses operate back to usual, this social media trend is here to stay. Not only is social media used to communicate with current customers, but it is a way to generate awareness, as well as quality leads. For example, if your customer takes a picture of your food or visits your restaurant and “tags” your account, their social network will then become aware of your business. Besides the optional use of ad placements, the sites are completely free, so why not leverage them for your business? First and foremost, every restaurant should be on Facebook and Instagram. These two platforms have the highest amount of active users. They offer businesses ways to convert viewers into customers, and ultimately drive sales for your restaurant. Be sure to be on the “Business Page” setting on the platforms, which allows for greater customization.

WHY YOUR BUSINESS SHOULD BE ON FACEBOOK with a business facebook you can:
BUILD A COMMUNITY
USE BUSINESS TOOLS
UNDERSTAND YOUR CUSTOMERS
Facebook offers a variety of free features to engage with your customers. You can post updates, pictures and videos to communicate with your customers. You can also message them directly.
Facebook offers free business tools that can further enhance your Page and help you achieve your goals. You can create events, manage appointments, and sell your products directly on your Page.
Facebook offers free Page Insights to help you understand the actions that people take on your Page. You can learn what your customers care about and how often they interact with posts on your Page.
WHY YOUR BUSINESS SHOULD BE ON INSTAGRAM YOU CAN WORK WITH INFLUENCERS There are thousands of food influencers. They range from microinfluencers with 2,000 followers to huge accounts of 150,000. Fact: 49% of consumers count on influencer recommendations when making purchasing decisions.
YOU CAN USE GEOTAGS & HASHTAGS TO ATTRACT NEW CUSTOMERS One of Instagram’s key benefits is how easy it is for users to find new accounts to follow. Unlike Facebook where you have to actively seek out content, Instagram suggests posts you might like in the “Explore” feed.
IT’S VISUALLY APPEALING Instagram is the best platform for restaurants because it is visual. People are more inclined to scroll through pictures than articles, menus, and words.
Hashtags are another great way to attract new customers. You can use local hashtags with your business name, street, neighborhood, or city to help people nearby find you.

History: Manny, Sal’s father, came to America from Sicily in 1975. Manny spent many years working in the pizza business throughout Queens, NY. Settling on Long Island, Manny opened his first Carlo’s location in 1986 in Shirley. Manny raised two sons, Sal and Frank. Both boys started working at the pizzeria in elementary school and continued employment there while attending college. Sal now runs their second location in Manorville after expanding in 2017. What is the most popular item on the menu? Regular cheese pizza.
How has your business adapted during the COVID-19 crisis? Carlo’s partnered with DoorDash right before the pandemic started and it really helped with sales when customers were afraid to leave their house.
What sets Carlo’s apart from the competition? Service and selection. They see some customers multiple times a week, with a wide selection they are able to offer different items that have different tastes, like escarole and beans or buffalo chicken pizza.
Account serviced by: Freddie LaRosa
Any advice for other restaurant owners? Put out a good product consistently and the rest should fall into place. In what ways does your business give back to the community? Sal uses their large customer base to help collect coats for people in need with the help of a local nonprofit. They also use their store front to host fundraisers and donate to many community organizations.

Take Great Photos of your Food WITH A SMARTPHONE
T
oday, it isn’t difficult to take quality pictures by just using your smartphone device. Quality photos online are important because they give potential customers a first impression of your restaurant. Having a solid online portfolio on social media is becoming increasingly important for restaurant owners. Be sure to take images of your best-selling foods, as well as a ‘sneak peek’ to the atmosphere inside. On the next page are some tips and tricks for getting great looking photos of your food by using your phone’s camera.
The Last Bite // 34
Tips & Tricks for great looking photos: • Move towards the natural light if you can. If you aren’t shooting in good light, it’s incredibly hard to take good photos. Ideally, the light source is coming from behind you into the lens. Try to stay away from using flash. • Up close and tight pictures work the best for food. • Tap the screen to where you want to focus in on the dish you want to be the focal point of the image. Try your best to keep your hands as steady as possible as you take your shot. • Do not use the zoom feature. Whenever you use the digital zoom, you reduce the quality of the image. Instead, just move yourself closer to the food. • If you can, work with similar or complimentary colors. Ideally, use the colors of your business’s brand or atmosphere to give your feed a cohesive look and feel. Use your restaurant’s decor to guide you. • Try to take pictures of your dishes in groups of three. Triangles naturally create dynamic photos. This creates simplicity and is easier to make sense of to the eye. • Use the grid feature. There’s a tool that allows you to overlay a grid onto every photo you’re taking. By using this, you can be sure that your lines are straight, or you can easily divide your frame into thirds. • Remove unnecessary distractions, such as extra utensils and napkins or condiments. • Crop the photo before you upload to have higher control over the end result and to avoid unnecessary mistakes. For example, if you zoom your image in to fit the given dimensions, you are compromising the quality of the picture and it may be blurrier than you remembered when you publish it online. If your photo is too long or wide, the platform will automatically cut off part of your picture. Here are the dimensions for each platform: Facebook: 940 x 788 pixels, or an aspect ratio between 9:16 to 16:9 Instagram: Square photos (the most used)- 1080px by 1080px, or a 1:1 ratio Vertical photos- 1080px by 1350px, or a ratio of 4:5 Twitter: 1200px by 675px or a 16:9 ratio You can use a filter app such as Snapseed, or Afterlight to adjust settings such as brightness, saturation, contrast and highlights. Be careful in not distorting the image too much from the original, making it look fake to your viewers. If you are to use a filter, do not use 100% of that filter, 30-50% works well enough to compliment your photo.

iulio’s Pizza and Restaurant is a popular joint for locals craving
and restaurant is a family-owned and operated business founded in 1987 by Giulio Gagliardi after immigrating here from Italy in 1972. Giulio was a factory worker prior to deciding to start his own business. Giulio’s son, Sal, has since taken over the operations of the family business. Giulio opened the business when Sal was 11 years old and he has worked there every day since. Giulio’s Pizza and Restaurant has become such a success that 3 years ago Sal took over another restaurant called Temple Grill (American fare), and this past July he opened another called Michelina’s Apizza and Ristorante (named after his mother). If you were to visit one of his 2 Italian locations, Sal informed us that his pizza is by-far everyone’s favorite item to order on the menu.
Sal Gagliardi with father, Giulio Gagliardi
Giulio’s Pizza and Restaurant has been a customer of Napoli Foods since the restaurant opened, 33 years ago. Sal says that the people at Napoli Foods have become like family to him. He values the incredible quality and service they provide. With the COVID Crisis still looming around, he tells us people are still weary to dine-in at a restaurant, however, his takeout option is used by many as a way to stay safe. His advice for other restaurant under the circumstances.

History:
What is the most popular item on the menu?
(201)-659-0808 Mario Albunia grew up playing baseball and running pizzerias with his brother in laws on the Seaside Heights boardwalk. In 1980 Mario suffered a career ending injury. Having to move on from baseball and realizing college wasn’t for him, he decided to open a business in the pizza industry. Wanting to be closer to home, he found a building for rent down the street from where he was living in Hoboken. Ten years later Mario bought the building across the street from where he was renting and that’s where Mario’s Pizza is today. Mario started his business in 1985, since then he has had 3 children. His son, (also named Mario) helps run the business today. Right after graduating college with a business degree Mario (Jr) started working in the pizzeria, hoping to keep values and traditions alive. Account serviced by: Phil Falco
mariosclassicpizza.com
Today, 36 years later, Mario’s Classic Pizza remains a family-run business, and a staple in the Hoboken community.
Every year Mario opens his doors and serves a free traditional Thanksgiving dinner to anyone who can’t make it home or anyone in need.
@mariospizzahoboken
Today Mario’s Classic Pizza’s menu contains more than 40 different options, from pizzas to salads and sandwiches to subs. Some popular slices include a simple pepperoni one to a chicken Marsala slice, as well as more creative concoctions, such as the burrata arugula slices. Mario says that a plain cheese pie is still the most popular item to this day.
What sets Mario’s apart from the competition?
Besides the great food, what sets Mario’s apart is the fun, family-centric environment.
Any advice for other restaurant owners?
Mario says customer service is very important - treat people right and try to accommodate them. He stresses how consistency is key—customers can tell when you switch up products. In his experience, customers are willing to pay for great quality food.

History:
Lenny and Francesco’s grandparents, Frank and Tina, came to this country from Sicily in 1958. They came with their children, Leonardo, Salvatore, and Josie. Later, in 1962, they had their son Frankie. Frank came upon an opportunity to purchase a small deli where he and his family could work together. Frank had operated his own butcher shop in the family’s small hometown of Lascari and worked for a wholesale meat packing company in the states, so he had experience in the business. Over the years he began expanding the small deli to include a full kitchen, pizza shop, and eventually catering services. When Frank passed away in the 80’s, two of his children, Sal and Josie, started running the business. In October 2020, Lenny and Franco Scittino, Frank’s grandchildren, bought the business. Lenny and Franco grew up around the business having worked there in high school. Since Lenny’s return from serving in the navy 6 years ago, he has played an important role in running the business. Franco was a management consultant for the past 25 years, he was drawn to the idea of being his own boss so he decided to join Lenny in running Scittino’s Italian Marketplace.
What is the most popular item on the menu?
The most popular item on their menu is of course their pizza, however, on the deli menu it is their homemade sauces and sausages.
How has your business adapted during the COVID-19 crisis?
In the beginning of COVID-19, meat packages were flying off the shelves because grocery stores ran out of beef, however, because they didn’t buy from large meat plants, they weren’t as effected from the shortage. Their business was never forced to shut down, however their catering business took a hit. They began delivering grocery items and implemented a curbside pickup service. COVID has taught them how to work even more efficiently, having to manage crowds on Friday nights.
What sets your restaurant apart from the competition?
Their product quality is great and their meats and cheeses speak for themselves. If they don’t feel like they can do it better than everyone else, they won’t do it at all. They do not “cut corners” on their operations anywhere. Their recipes and ingredients are authentic as they come, straight from the ‘old country’. Franco says that you would see the same food if you went to Sicily.
Why work with Ferraro Foods?
They have been working with Ferraro Foods for over 20 years. He likes the quality products, like Grande Cheese, and other high-performing cheeses, which make the best pizzas.
Any advice for other Restaurant owners?
He says don’t cut corners and costs as a path to success. The only real way to be successful is to have top-notch service and products - gimmicks don’t work.

IN-HOUSE FOOD DELIVERY
VS
THIRD PARTY FOOD DELIVERY
Third-party food delivery services were a novel idea when Seamless first appeared in 1999. Since then, third party delivery platforms have become a permanent fixture in the restaurant world. The global outbreak of COVID-19 forced many restaurants into offering delivery. The decision they had to make at this point is which business model to adopt — in-house vs thirdparty food delivery. We’ll evaluate the pros and cons of in-house vs third-party food delivery so you can choose the best option for your restaurant. In-house delivery Choosing in-house delivery means building your own dedicated delivery staff and securing a fleet of vehicles to deliver orders to customers. While it may seem appealing to keep the business in house, developing a delivery service requires addressing things such as insurance, gas consumption, vehicle maintenance, and parking spaces. Not only will you need company vehicles, but you may also need to hire dedicated delivery staff and purchase additional inventory — such as insulated bags — to ensure the food arrives in peak condition. Pros of in-house delivery • You reduce the number of people who touch food orders, which improves food hygiene and builds customer trust. •
You get the freedom and flexibility to define your product offering and business model.
•
You get to keep 100% of the meal price rather than splitting any portion with a delivery company.
Cons of in-house delivery • Your ability to scale in-house delivery operations is constrained by the capital you have available. •
You may not have the expertise to run a smooth in-house delivery system. A lack of competency in delivery logistics can negatively impact your customer experience and business reputation.
The Last Bite // 70
Third-party food delivery Third-party food delivery companies partner with restaurants to provide customers with a platform to browse menus, place orders, and have food delivered to their doorstep by a third-party courier. These services operate independently of your restaurant, using a dedicated mobile app and their own resources to take the responsibility of delivery entirely out of the restaurant’s hands. Pros of third-party food delivery • You gain access to these companies’ established marketplaces and broader delivery regions. •
You don’t need to advertise and promote your delivery service because hungry customers are already on these apps browsing through the available restaurants.
•
You can lower your fixed costs because you don’t have to pay insurance costs or wages to delivery staff.
•
You can focus exclusively on the end product without worrying about delivery.
Cons of third-party food delivery • You’ll likely have to agree to steep revenue-sharing models with some third-party food delivery apps. •
You have no control over the third-party company. This can negatively impact your business’s reputation if the delivery company’s customer service is unsatisfactory.
•
You may experience communication issues with regard to orders, which can ultimately impact customers.
Which is the right choice for you? If you have an established presence in your community, can afford to promote your delivery menu, and have the staff to manage the delivery process, then inhouse delivery may be a good choice for your restaurant. But if you have little brand awareness, no budget for building awareness of your delivery service, and lack the staff to manage self-delivery, then leveraging a thirdparty food delivery service is likely to be a more successful path in the long run. Consider your budget, your market, and your business goals (i.e., how much revenue you need to generate to make your restaurant profitable), then decide which is the right choice for you.
IN-HOUSE
PROS
THIRD PARTY
COMPLETE STAFF CONTROL
TRAINED STAFF
You would have complete control over your delivery personnel, monitoring their orders more closely.
Third party delivery platforms provide a set of trained individuals to work for you.
KEEP 100% OF MEAL PRICE
NO STAFF MANAGEMENT
You get to keep 100% of the meal price rather than splitting any portion with a delivery company.
There is no need for you to manage a delivery staff, saving you time and resources.
REDUCED DELIVERY TIME & MISCOMMUNICATIONS
ONLINE PRESENCE Collaborating with third party delivery services increases your online presence.
Delivery times are reduced due to minimal checkpoints and potential for miscommunications are reduced by removing third-party involvement.
KNOWLEDGE & TRAINING REQUIRED
CONS
STEEP REVENUE-SHARING
An in-house delivery team needs to be trained. You may not have the expertise to run a smooth in-house delivery system.
You’ll likely have to agree to steep revenue-sharing models with some thirdparty food delivery apps (sometimes up to 35 percent of the order price).
MANAGEMENT OF STAFF
A LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL
Your delivery team will need to be managed at all times of the day.
When using third-party services, that driver is now the face of your company. You lose control over this part of the customer experience.
ABILITY TO SCALE
GREATER CHANCE FOR COMMUNICATION ISSUES
Your ability to scale in-house delivery operations is constrained by the capital you have available.

Catering Season - Back in Business
N
ow that people are gathering again, your catering business will start to pick up as well. Be ready for a surge of orders at the end of spring and into the summer. Celebrations that had once been postponed, now have the green light… and so do you. Get back to doing what you love and provide delicious meals for customer’s special social occasions. Special catering events your business may be in demand for are: graduation parties, family reunions, bridal showers, outdoor weddings, Fourth of July parties, or even a backyard pool party for a birthday celebration. Warmer weather means less time wanting to be in the home cooking and the hassle that comes along with it. This is the time to spread the word about your services. If possible, at events you cater for, put your business’s flyers and pamphlets out somewhere guests can see them so they are aware of who the host catered from. This is a great way to get exposure, as well as referrals for your business. You may have custom menus or create packages for them to choose from. If you don’t already, have an appetizer menu that includes light finger foods such as bruschetta or caprese skewers, as well as an option of sides, such as garlic knots or roasted vegetables. Some caterers have a salad and pasta menu as well. Don’t forget a section of your menu for your specialty dishes, and lastly, your desserts! Each section of your menu should have under ten options in order to not overwhelm your customers. Finally, be sure to think of the entree experience when packing for the catering event. This includes thinking of everything from napkins, to the serving trays. Catering services are performed best when they help delight guests on their occasion and set the tone for the experience. On the next page are some staple non-food products Ferraro Foods recommends for your catering business.
