The training combines hands-on operations and classroom information on the Pizza Inn restaurant concept. The total training time is approximately four weeks. Express restaurant management will be trained on-site in a 2-3 day program.

Why Pizza Inn?
We offer three franchise options:
Buffet
One of the country’s very first pizza buffets, nobody serves up taste, quality and value like Pizza Inn. Our restaurants are known for their family–style atmosphere and warm hospitality. Usually free–standing buildings or store–fronts in retail strip malls, the buffet concept features a “back–fed” buffet bar with some locations also offering party and game room facilities.
Delivery/Carryout
Generally located in retail strip malls, our Delco concept is perfect for customers on–the–go! While it carries a full menu, its design caters to the carry–out and delivery demands of today’s busy families.
Express
Pizza Inn Express is perfect for more non–traditional venues. Express locations can be found in places like convenience stores, airports, arenas, hospitals and college campuses. Pizza Inn Express offers a limited menu geared around our take–out menu.

Are You a Good Fit for Pizza Inn?
If you have prior restaurant management experience, you may wish to act
as the general manager. If you are not planning to work in the
restaurant, we encourage you to hire an experienced manager to operate
the restaurant.Like owning and running any small business, a Pizza Inn franchise is not for everyone. You must be willing to work long hours, be comfortable with such areas as personnel management, financial management, marketing, and business development. Having strong communication, motivation, and customer service skills is also very important in this business. For the right individual or entity, Pizza Inn can be a very rewarding business opportunity.
