When you franchise with Cannoli Kitchen Pizza, you can rest assured that we’re invested in your future and will provide the support you need at all stages of your journey. Our pizza franchise buying process includes well-structured systems to help prioritize your initial success, rapid growth, and long-term achievement in the pizza industry. From the discovery phase to your grand opening, our comprehensive franchise program ensures you have all the resources and guidance needed to thrive.
Key steps to owning a pizza franchise with Cannoli Kitchen Pizza include:
After expressing interest in our franchise opportunity, you’ll be invited to meet with the Cannoli Kitchen Pizza franchise team and tour one of our flagship locations, where we can answer all of your preliminary questions.
You’ll receive a copy of our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and franchise agreement to review. The franchise agreement is your contract, which outlines the terms, pricing, and other important details of our mutual commitment. You’ll have ample time to carefully review the documents, connect with other franchisees, and have your questions answered to get a better feel for what it’s like to own a Cannoli Kitchen Pizza franchise.
Before you sign your franchise agreement, our in-house finance team will assist you in obtaining financing. It’s typically easier to acquire financing when franchising rather than starting a business on your own. You can count on our team to help you throughout the process!
Once you submit your signed franchise agreement, we’ll assist in evaluating and advising on potential locations, including those in multi-unit development agreements. Our team will also provide you with our standard building plans, specifications, floor plans, and required decor.
Our two-week comprehensive training program covers everything from operations to maintaining our brand culture.
You’ll receive training in all areas of the business, including:
- Operations review
- Front-of-the-house
- Back-of-the-house
- Customer service
- Brand culture
- Sanitation and cleaning
Leading up to your grand opening, a Cannoli Kitchen Pizza team member will conduct a two-week onsite visit to your location. This is the ideal opportunity to ensure a smooth transition and address any challenges, solidifying your confidence as a new franchisee!
Once your grand opening happens, you can count on our ongoing support any time you need it.
