Key
Questions
What qualifications does Rosati look for in a franchisee?
Rosati's Pizza is actively seeking highly-qualified individuals to become franchisees. Prior business experience, coupled with personal financial qualifications, individual motivations, and a track record of success are important factors during our evaluation process.
How much money do I need to begin the process?
Individuals will need $50,000 in non-borrowed personal resources (liquid assets) along with an overall net
worth of at least $250,000 to qualify. Financing is to be secured through third-party lenders. The total cost of each franchise will vary by size and location.
Are there any fees for being a franchisee?
Royalty and Continuing Services fees are 5% of gross sales. Ongoing Advertising fees may be 4.5% of gross sales.
What can I expect to earn from my
Rosati’s restaurant?
Rosati's encourages you to learn more about the performance of our restaurants by speaking with other franchisees. Generally, the most important factors are restaurant location and store management. Since we don't know where your restaurant will be or how well you will run it, we can't predict your results. In fact ,to eliminate possible misunderstanding, we have a policy that no employee or agent of ours can provide you with projections as to your potential sales earnings and profitability. The best way to get this information is to fill out an application. Once it is filled out, you will receive a disclosure document with the names and phone numbers of our franchisees. Call as many as you like. Ask them how they like being franchisees, how long they've been with Rosati's, how many stores they own and
how their stores are doing. You will enjoy talking to actual owners and learn first-hand from the people who once did exactly what you're doing now.
Does Rosati’s offer financing?
No. However, Rosati's Franchising, Inc. can direct potential franchisees to lenders that other franchisees have used for equipment, construction, loans, etc. Rosati's is a proud member of the Small Business Administration
(SBA).
How long does it take to open a Rosati’s
Pizza restaurant?
Each location is different, depending on a variety of factors. Some of these factors include site selection, build-out requirements and training. However, it typically takes about 6 to 8 months from signing the Franchise Agreement to opening day of a Rosati's Pizza franchise.
What type of training can a franchisee
expect?
All new franchisees participate in a 4-week training program. This consists of 4 weeks of on-the-job training at a Rosati's Training Store within your geographical location that will include real-time management experience. In addition, we will train your assistant manager for three weeks at the same training center. Once initial training has been completed, franchisees receive regular updates to their training, including on-site reviews.
How is food quality and consistency
maintained?
Our Rosati's Brand products are created from family recipes that have been handed down from generation
to generation for more than 40 years. They have been blended exclusively for us by the highest quality manufacturers in the industry. Products are delivered to our stores by national distributors on a weekly basis. Our vegetables are purchased from local sources and are delivered to our stores fresh daily. In this manner, the high-quality Rosati's Pizza you enjoy in Chicago, Illinois is the same as the tasty pizza we make for you in Phoenix, Arizona or any other Rosati's Pizza location.
