We encourage you to learn more about the performance of our restaurants by speaking with a Rosati’s Pizza franchisee. Since we don’t know where your restaurant will be located or your level of operation, we cannot predict your results. We are restricted by the Federal Trade Commission and various state franchise sales regulations from providing you with specific profit projections. The best way to obtain further information is to request more information and obtain a franchise disclosure document with the names and phone numbers of our franchisees. Call as many as you’d like. Ask them about being a Rosati’s franchisee and how well they are doing. You’ll enjoy speaking with owners and you’ll hear firsthand from the people who were once exactly where you are now: investigating our franchise opportunity.
No. However, Rosati’s Pizza Enterprises, Inc. can direct potential franchisees to sources that have provided financing options to other franchisees in the areas of equipment leasing, construction and SBA loans.
Each location is different depending on a variety of factors including site selection, buildout requirements and training. However, it takes approximately 6 – 8 months from signing the franchise agreement to your Rosati’s grand opening.
All new franchisees participate in a 4-week training program. The program consists of on-the-job training at a Rosati’s training store, providing you with real-life management experience. You will learn all about business development, management, customer service, marketing, food preparation and quality assurance. In addition, you will receive up to 2 weeks of on-site training with the corporate operations managers. Once completed, franchisees receive regular updates to their training.
