HOW TO GET STARTED
Step 1
Franchise Information Package & Questionnaire Form
Applicants can find the Franchise Information Package, which includes our standard Franchise Questionnaire Form, on the Pizza Depot website, or can request that a hard copy be faxed or mailed to them. Applicants should return completed Questionnaires to the Pizza Depot head office.
Step 2
Invitation to meet with the Office Manager
Within 2 days of receiving and reviewing the Questionnaire, our Office Manager will contact you to continue the qualification process and explain the basic elements of Pizza Depot’s franchise program. If both we and you wish to proceed, you will be invited to meet the Franchise Director & take a tour of the Pizza Depot Head Office.
STEP 3
Franchise Disclosure Document
If Pizza Depot wishes to proceed with your application, we will provide you with the Pizza Depot Franchise Disclosure Document, following which you will have at least 14 days to review it with your legal and business advisors.
Step 4
Franchise Agreement
Once at least 14 days have passed since the applicant received the Franchise Disclosure Document, the parties will sign the Pizza Depot Franchise Agreement, upon which the applicant will immediately pay Pizza Depot the Initial Franchise Fee of $20,000, plus applicable taxes.
STEP 5
Approval of Franchised Location, Sublease and Construction
After signing the Franchise Agreement, both parties will start looking for suitable sites for the franchised business. When a suitable site is found, Pizza Depot will negotiate a lease for the premises. Once an offer to lease has been accepted, the applicant will pay any lease deposit as required by the landlord and construction will begin on the premises by a general contractor approved by Pizza Depot.
Step 6
Training
You will participate in a 2 – 3 week training program approximately 1-2 weeks before the grand opening of the Pizza Depot location, either at your location, our head office and/or one of our corporate-owned stores in Ontario. We will assign a General Manager to help you set up your location for the grand opening and for the first 5 days of operation.
