What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 FDD, Antioch Pizza Shop franchisees operating a Food Truck/Trailer are required to secure access to a commissary for preparing food items. This commissary must be a commercial kitchen that Antioch Pizza Shop approves.
The commissary must meet all state and local health department requirements, ensuring that food preparation adheres to health and safety standards. If a franchisee already owns an Antioch Pizza Shop restaurant franchise, they have the option to use the restaurant as their commissary, providing a potential cost-saving and logistical benefit.
Furthermore, the franchisee is responsible for installing any additional kitchen equipment and supplies at the commissary that Antioch Pizza Shop requires for its menu items, if such equipment is not already available for use in the commissary. Prior to opening the Food Truck/Trailer, Antioch Pizza Shop may conduct an on-site inspection of both the truck/trailer and the commissary to ensure compliance with their standards.
