Extreme Pizza provides a comprehensive training program to ensure franchisees and their managers are fully prepared to operate a successful restaurant. Here are the primary components of their training:
Initial Training Program Extreme Pizza offers an initial training course to franchisees and designated managers before the restaurant opens. This training covers operations, systems, and restaurant management, and is delivered in a structured format. The current tuition for a five-day (40-hour) session is $1,000 per trainee, with franchisees responsible for all associated travel, lodging, and meal costs.
Operations Manual and Support Franchisees receive an Operations Manual detailing standards for restaurant management, product preparation, advertising, staffing, and more. The manual is updated periodically, and franchisees must maintain the most current version on-site. It serves as a core resource throughout the franchise relationship.
Post-Opening Support and Consultation After opening, the franchisor provides ongoing operational guidance via phone, on-site visits, and other communication methods. Franchisees may receive help with cost analysis, product sourcing, and promotional strategies. Though recommendations are offered, franchisees retain autonomy in setting prices.
Territory Protection
Extreme Pizza grants franchisees a limited territory within which their restaurant operates, but this territory is not exclusive. The franchisor does not promise any exclusive rights to a geographic area, meaning another franchise or company-owned restaurant could potentially be opened nearby.
Franchisees must operate only from their approved location and do not receive rights to any broader territory beyond that. While there is no formal territorial protection, Extreme Pizza does manage brand exposure and advertising through centralized systems.
Franchisees participate in national, regional, and local advertising funds, but these efforts are not guaranteed to be focused specifically in their area. This approach allows for wide brand reach but may result in overlapping marketing exposure among multiple locations.
