Franchise FAQ

Have questions about owning a Punch pizza franchise? We have answers to the most commonly asked questions below.

No prior restaurant experience is required, though it can be helpful. Our comprehensive training program is designed to bring you fully up to speed on all aspects of operating a Punch pizza location — from pizza preparation and kitchen management to customer service and financial reporting. Many of our most successful franchisees came from completely different industries.

The typical timeline from initial inquiry to grand opening is 6 to 12 months. This includes the approval process (4–8 weeks), lease negotiation and site selection (4–12 weeks), build-out and equipment installation (8–16 weeks), and training (2–6 weeks depending on tier). We work to move efficiently while ensuring everything is done right.

Royalty fees vary by franchise tier: Express and Full Restaurant locations pay 5% of gross weekly sales, while Multi-Unit License holders pay a reduced rate of 4%. In addition, franchisees contribute 2% of gross sales to the national marketing fund, which funds brand advertising, social media campaigns, and promotional materials. These contributions are clearly detailed in the Franchise Disclosure Document.

Absolutely. We actively encourage successful franchisees to expand. Our Multi-Unit License tier is specifically designed for operators who want to develop 3 or more locations across an exclusive territory. Many of our current partners started with a single location and have since expanded to 2–4 units. We offer preferential terms and dedicated support for multi-unit growth.

Our support doesn't end at grand opening. Every franchisee receives quarterly business reviews, access to our franchisee intranet with operational resources, ongoing menu innovation updates, marketing campaign assets, dedicated phone and email support, and annual in-person visits from our field team. We are committed to your long-term success.

Punch pizza does not directly provide financing. However, we have established relationships with several SBA-approved lenders and franchise financing specialists who are familiar with our FDD and can offer competitive loan programs. Many franchisees fund their locations through a combination of personal savings, SBA 7(a) loans, home equity, and retirement fund rollovers (ROBS). Our team will introduce you to these resources upon qualification.
