What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, several factors can influence the choice of franchise model. The FDD states that the model a franchisee opens may depend on location, experience, and other factors. The available models include a fast casual restaurant with 40-60 seats offering sit-down, carry out, and delivery services, and potentially serving alcoholic beverages; an express model with limited or no seating and no alcohol sales; and a full-service restaurant offering dine-in, take-out, and delivery, with potential alcohol sales.
The potential franchisee should consider the trade area's demographics, competition, traffic flow, accessibility, visibility, and economic conditions. The franchisee's business abilities and efforts also play a significant role. These factors can influence the potential gross sales, as demonstrated by the annual gross sales ranges for different models.
The annual gross sales for fast casual restaurants ranged from $300,000 to $1,000,000, express models ranged from $300,000 to $650,000, and full-service restaurants ranged from $600,000 to $2,500,000. These figures exclude revenue from alcohol sales, sales tax, use tax, non-food vending machine sales, and discounts. A prospective franchisee should carefully evaluate these factors in relation to their own capabilities and resources to determine the most suitable Carbones Pizzeria model.
