Number of units
Cannoli Kitchen Pizza had 6 total units in 2024, of which 0 were franchised-owned and 6 company-owned.
Cannoli Kitchen Pizza provides a detailed and multi-tiered training program for its franchisees and their key staff members. Here’s a breakdown of the training provided by the franchisor:
Level 1 Training: This initial training is mandatory for the franchisee (or Operating Principal) and their general manager. It takes place at CK Franchising’s headquarters and a Certified Training Restaurant. CK Franchising covers the cost of airfare, hotel accommodations, and one daily meal for two participants, though additional attendees may incur a fee.
Level 2 Replacement Training: If a trained manager or key employee leaves, the franchisee must send a replacement to complete Level 2 training within 120 days. This training is also held at a Certified Training Restaurant, and the franchisee is responsible for travel and related costs. A training fee is also applicable.
Post-Opening Onsite Assistance: A CK Franchising team member is assigned to assist with training and operational guidance during the first 10 days of business. The franchisor pays the travel and other costs for this support period, which is intended to ensure a successful launch.
Web-Based Training and Video Series: CK Franchising may offer or require participation in online training modules and video-based instruction. These are designed to supplement in-person training and support ongoing learning for all staff members.
Territory Protection
Cannoli Kitchen Pizza offers a limited form of territory protection to its franchisees. Under the franchise agreement, CK Franchising will not open or license another Cannoli Kitchen business within a franchisee's designated territory, except in specific "Limited Access Venues" like airports or stadiums.
This provides franchisees some geographic exclusivity, though it is not absolute. Despite this protection, the franchisor retains several rights that allow for potential overlap.
CK Franchising may operate or license other businesses under different brand names within the same area and may sell Cannoli Kitchen products through other channels such as the internet. Additionally, the franchisee’s Designated Marketing Area may overlap with others and can be modified over time by the franchisor.
