Frequently asked questions

Prior business experience is helpful, as is a knowledge of the food service or bartending industry. Regardless of past experience, we are looking for people-focused individuals with energy, passion and an entrepreneurial spirit. We have extensive training programs that will help even if you don’t have formal experience.

Our understanding of the market has enabled us to understand the kinds of locations that work best for a Pie Bar™ franchise location. Generally, a starting location should have at least 800-1000 square feet of space. The food truck franchising model does not require a brick-and-mortar location.

The Pie Bar™ franchising opportunity offers diversified Hybrid Models with multiple businesses in one, resulting in multiple revenue streams. A brick-and-mortar build-out includes a bakery/bar less than 1000 square feet, with the option of food trucks, catering, pie making classes, merchandise, and corporate accounts. We aim for ambience in our locations!

With more than a decade’s experience both in brick-and-mortar and the food truck side, we have developed strong marketing strategies to help you promote your business. We have experience with what types of campaigns (including social media) may be helpful and we will share our strategies with our franchisees.

Please take a few minutes and complete the information on the “Preliminary Information Questionnaire” which you will find in this document.
