your demographics, your financial requirements, and your site.

bar, we cater to your needs and to your audience. Each location is fun
and unique, and all offer award-winning food! BROADWAY PIZZA has been
critically acclaimed for over 50 years.
Our signature is our Pizza! - 3 enticing crust varieties: Thin crust,
New York style, and Deep Dish. Can we tempt you with Lunch and Dinner
Buffets? Combine our food with true franchise support from opening and
beyond, from operations to marketing, add in tremendous growth potential

Why should I invest in BROADWAY PIZZA?
It’s a matter of taste! BROADWAY PIZZA has perfected
its operating system and product mix. Today’s marketplace demands
service, product quality and the convenience of delivery. Product quality
and consistency are paramount to success in local "neighborhood"
markets. Regardless of the extent of advertising and the number of stores
in any given area, consumers will ultimately settle on taste preferences
and products with the highest perceived value. Consumer allegiance is
earned, not assumed, by providing the right taste, at the right price,
at the right time.
Do I need previous experience making pizza or in
the restaurant industry to qualify?
It’s not a requirement, but it is certainly helpful.
Our training program and the ongoing guidance from BROADWAY PIZZA will
help prepare you to manage and operate your store. The excellence of proven
production systems and recognized customer service techniques greatly
simplify staff training and management.
How will BROADWAY PIZZA support me if I am the first location in my region?
You’ll be entitled to the same service and support
programs available to other franchise owners. Because the concentration
of stores in any given area makes certain cooperative marketing opportunities
possible( which may not be immediately available to a single store) our
objective is to build strength in numbers on a geographical basis. You
will have access to common materials and campaigns with which to conduct
effective marketing efforts in your area.
Will I have development rights for a certain region
or territory?
We grant exclusive marketing territories on the basis
of population, geographical considerations, local development plans and
market trends. Depending on your capital position, you may desire to establish
a multiple development agreement with BROADWAY PIZZA. This reserves a
large territory for your exclusive expansion in accordance with a predetermined
development schedule.
How many people will I need on my staff?
This will depend on your location. Typically, a BROADWAY
PIZZA, will need 20-60 employees with varying skill levels.
If I offer delivery, will I need a fleet of vehicles?
What about insurance?
Most BROADWAY PIZZA locations offer delivery.
You will employ delivery drivers with satisfactory driving records, valid
drivers’ licenses and insurance certificates. Drivers furnish their
own vehicles and provide all maintenance and upkeep. Typically, drivers
are compensated on the basis of an hourly wage plus gas allowance. You
will be required to maintain certain types of insurance coverage, including
non-owned automobile liability insurance.
How soon can I open my BROADWAY PIZZA?
Allowing sufficient time for preparation
of necessary documents, business registrations, financing, site-selection,
training, construction and pre-opening activities, the typical time frame
is 90 to 180 days from the date you are awarded your BROADWAY PIZZA franchise
license.
What are the minimum financial requirements to
open a franchise?
Express Units: Cash or liquid assets of
$100,000 - $200,000 per unit.
Full Service Units: Cash or liquid assets of $1,000,000 per unit. We also
call for you to meet personal net worth requirements.
Does BROADWAY PIZZA provide financing for restaurant
development?
No.
How much money can I make?
BROADWAY PIZZA does not provide any earnings
information. The amount of profit or loss is dependant upon many factors,
including your ability to manage operations, increased volume, and to
minimize loss. We recommend that you talk with some of our franchisees
with your questions about marketing, operations, volume, among others.
