Training & Support
We provide an extensive training program for all franchisees to ensure
that when your store opens you are comfortable and experienced in all
aspects of running a successful business. Our "Pita Pro In the Making"
program provides you with 10 days at our headquarters in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, followed by another 2 weeks of in-store hands-on
training. During the training we teach you what it takes to operate an
efficient and successful Extreme Pita. The Training program involves
both classroom and in-store training from experienced corporate
trainers that have previously operated successful Extreme Pita
franchises. During this period we will train you in everything from
rolling the pita, scheduling and ordering, customer service, management
control systems to the training of your new staff.
Support in Your Store In addition our trainers will come to your store during the first week of business to help you prepare for your grand opening. They will assist in implementing marketing tools to get your name out in the community, they will help you and your employees get comfortable with daily operations, as well as behind the scenes help with scheduling, ordering, and training. The support doesn't end there, each restaurant is assigned a business development consultant to provide on-going continuous support in every facet of your business.
Communication We also want the lines of communication to be as open as possible between fellow franchisees. What better way to learn and grow then by sharing our experiences with one and other. That is why in our "Hot Off the Pita Press" newsletter there is a specific column strictly for franchisees to add their comments and express their views. Further ongoing support is provided via regular store visits, operational memos that discuss updates and the implementation of best practices among operations and advertising, etc.

Why The Extreme Pita?
A lot of restaurants out there offer items that are fried within an inch of their lives. Extreme Pita has the right concept at the right time, because more and more consumers are looking for a fresh, fast, healthy alternative, something we have been doing since we opened our doors.Store design & construction - Our stores are designed to showcase our product and offer customers a comfortable setting full of energetic staff and great food. Besides that, the stores look cool. The architectural and engineering drawings provided to franchisees are customized and ensure that our own high standards are met.
Volume Buying Power - We've got some pretty impressive buying power, too. Because of our volume, we can negotiate lower prices from vendors for our franchisees. And that means you get more time to focus on your store.
Are You a Good Fit for The Extreme Pita?
While small business experience is helpful, it is not required.
You will receive step-by-step training at Extreme Pita headquarters in
Toronto in the important aspects of operating your business, including
operational, marketing, nutritional and customer service classes. You
also receive hands-on training behind the service counter and in the
food preparation area. The desire and effort of the Franchisee is more
important than restaurant, business or retailing experience.
You are required to run your store or have an individual with 25% equity ownership run our store. It is our experience that most successful stores are those operated by the owner(s) or a seasoned retail manager.
