The Pita Pit: Right Idea. Right Time.

People are changing the way they eat. They want fresh thinking and healthy eating—and they want it now!

The Pita Pit is where quick casual food service is heading. We’re far ahead of burgers, subs and pizza. Our food is fresh and fun and reflects the new healthy and active lifestyles of our customers. Add our high-energy staff and amazing customer service, and we’re poised for explosive growth. For three years in a row, the Pita Pit has been ranked on Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Franchise 500” list. For two years in a row, we’ve been on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies as well as Restaurant Business Magazine’s “Future 50” list.

Now is an exciting time to become a Pita Pit franchisee and be part of a concept whose time has come—and has a long-term sustainable future.

NO EXPERIENCE? NO SWEAT.

If you’re interested in opening a Pita Pit franchise but are hesitant because you lack restaurant experience, relax. It doesn’t matter. What matters most is that you care and are willing to work hard. Thanks to all the support that the Pita Pit offers franchisees, prior food-service experience really isn’t necessary. All franchisees are trained to efficiently own and operate a Pita Pit store so they’re confident they can run a successful store by the time their doors open. We’ll consider anyone who’s dedicated to working hard and is willing to follow our proven-successful operating system.

But training is only part of being a success. Our most successful stores are the ones with actively involved owners. These are the ones who work behind the counter alongside their staff, take good care of their customers and motivate their employees by setting a good example and giving them feedback—praising them publicly and correcting them privately. They’re also the ones who reach out to their communities and make sure they’re always part of whatever’s going on.

OURS IS A PROVEN SYSTEM.

As a Pita Pit franchisee, you’ll benefit from a system that has already proven to deliver terrific value for every operating dollar—a system we’ve been fine-tuning for more than a dozen years. Plus, the corporate staff at the Pita Pit is continually seeking new ways for the business to grow and improve, developing systems that ensure you receive the best possible support and most up-to-date information on where the market is heading, and where we’re heading as a company. It’s part of our commitment to “fresh thinking.”

WE TRAIN YOU.

Before you open a Pita Pit store, we do everything we can to ensure your success, starting with offering you the benefit of a world-class franchisee training program at our National Training Center in historic Kingston, Ontario.

The program is a seven-day course presented by a qualified, trained instructor who covers all the essential topics for operating and maintaining a Pita Pit restaurant to corporate standards. During the course, you’ll split your time between theoretical training in the classroom and practical training in a live restaurant.

The classroom portion of the training will teach you how to hire and train employees, work with food and beverage suppliers, implement effective marketing techniques and manage finances such as labor and food costs.

The practical portion of the training has you working approximately 30 hours behind the counter in a real Pita Pit restaurant. Here you’ll learn proper food preparation and organization, inventory tracking, product ordering/receiving from authorized suppliers, effective employee management, store maintenance and exceptional customer service techniques.
