Your Pie: Pioneering Excellence in Fast-Casual Pizza

Your Pie stands out in the fast-casual pizza franchise industry as America's first of its kind, established in 2008. The brand has successfully carved out a niche by focusing on quality, community, and a people-first approach, making it a significant player in the competitive pizza market.

What sets Your Pie apart is its commitment to delivering high-quality, brick-oven pizzas made with fresh ingredients and innovative recipes, all served with impressive speed. The diverse menu also includes chopped salads, paninis, gelato, and a selection of craft beer and wine, catering to a wide range of tastes and preferences.

Your Pie's mission is to foster a globally admired culture that enriches the lives of the Your Pie family, emphasizing quality, craftsmanship, and a welcoming atmosphere for both customers and franchisees. Franchisees receive robust support from the brand, from site selection to grand opening, along with comprehensive training at Your Pie University. This extensive support system ensures that franchisees are well-equipped to bring the Your Pie experience to their local communities.

Headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia, Your Pie has established a strong national presence. The brand continues to seek qualified candidates to join the Your Pie family, prioritizing leadership, community involvement, and a passion for quality food and service as essential traits for successful franchisees.

Training 

The franchisor offers an extensive training program for franchisees, combining both classroom and on-the-job training. This initial training is mandatory for the Operating Principal and two full-time Managers, covering essential aspects of running a Your Pie franchise, including marketing, financial management, labor management, technology, vendor relations, and food safety.

Initial Training Program

• Your Pie New Franchise Owner (NFO) Training: This classroom training segment takes place at the franchisor's headquarters in Alpharetta, GA, and covers key topics such as marketing, financial management, labor management, technology, and vendor relations.
• Your Pie Position Training/Team Member: This on-the-job training occurs at a certified training site designated by the franchisor, focusing on practical skills like opening and closing procedures, labor management, inventory/ordering, technology/POS systems, and food safety.

Ongoing Training and Support The franchisor provides continuous training and support, including:

• Periodic refresher courses.
• Assistance with the grand opening advertising program.
• Ongoing operational guidance based on reports or inspections, covering standards, specifications, operating procedures, purchasing, advertising, marketing, employee training, and administrative procedures.
• Additional or specialized guidance, assistance, and training upon request, as deemed necessary.

Additional Training for Subsequent Restaurants For franchisees opening additional restaurants, the Operating Principal is not required to undergo initial training again, provided there are two Certified Managers who complete the initial training for each new location.

Territory Protection

The franchisor provides territorial protections for franchisees by designating a specific "Territory" for each franchise. As long as the franchisee complies fully with the Franchise Agreement, the franchisor and its affiliates will not operate or grant a franchise for another Your Pie Restaurant within that Territory during the agreement's term.

However, this protection does not apply to "Non-Traditional Sites," which are locations with independent customer traffic, such as military bases, shopping malls, airports, stadiums, and similar venues.

Despite these territorial protections, the franchisor retains several rights, including:

• The right to provide, offer, and sell goods and services similar to those offered at Your Pie Restaurants through different distribution channels, both inside and outside the franchisee's Territory.
• The right to operate and grant others the right to operate businesses offering dissimilar products and services under the franchisor's Marks, both inside and outside the franchisee's Territory.
• The right to operate and grant others the right to operate Your Pie Restaurants at Non-Traditional Sites within and outside the franchisee's Territory.
