THE PROCESS
We are looking for people with high energy levels, who have a passion for full-time, hands-on running of the business. The most successful franchisees are those who inject time and energy into their investment. Great care is taken to ensure it is the right opportunity for both parties and that everyone understands the opportunity, the costs, the respective responsibilities, and the timeline and potential returns.
We want to grant franchises to people who share our vision and values, have the discipline to follow Pita Pit guidelines, and the experience to understand the challenges and rewards. Given that this is a long-term decision (10 to 20 yrs), we aim to try and ensure the commitment and investment is right for both parties.
