1. How can I open a Famoso Italian Pizzeria + Bar?
Famoso actively seeks individuals who have the potential to be great partners. Our franchisees should have personal financial qualifications, individual motivation, a track record for success, and a passion for the service industry.
2. How much money do I need to open a franchise?
To start, you should have unencumbered cash of about $350,000 to $700,000. Contact us to find out more.
3. How much are the royalties and other annual fees?
Royalty fees are 6% of gross sales. Marketing fees are 2% of gross sales.
4. How much can I make as a Famoso franchisee?
We are restricted by law from providing you with specific profit projections. We provide you with existing store sales and operating costs to help you create projections for profits.
5. Does Famoso offer financing?
No. However, Famoso can direct potential franchisees to sources that have provided financing options to other franchisees in the areas of Canada Small Business Loans and equipment leasing.
6. How long does it take to open the store?
It typically takes approximately 8 months from the day a lease is signed to secure your location.
7. What kind of training can I expect as a franchisee?
Famoso offers one of the most comprehensive training programs in the industry. The first week we take you to Naples, Italy for an opportunity to visit real Neapolitan pizzerias, taste authentic pizza, visit some of our ingredient suppliers, and learn about Neapolitan culture. We then put you and your management team (3 people) through 8-12 weeks of one-on-one training in one of our locations.
8. How is food quality and consistency maintained?
Famoso has negotiated contracts with suppliers to ensure that each pizzeria receives the same products at competitive pricing. Furthermore, the systems and tools used by Famoso ensure accurate inventory levels, freshly and properly prepared ingredients, and consistent recipes.
