Carbones_Pizzeria Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
Our primary franchise model is "fast casual". This fast casual restaurant has 40-60 seats, and provides sit-down, carry out and delivery services. It may also serve alcoholic beverages. You may also choose our "express" model, which contemplates no—or limited—seating on-premises, and does not serve beer and wine. Our last model is a "full service" restaurant model that offers dine-in, take-out, and delivery options and may also involve sales of alcoholic beverages.
Depending on location, your experience, and other factors, the model you open may be: (1) a fast casual style restaurant; (2) an express restaurant; or (3) a full service restaurant.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the fast casual restaurant model may serve alcoholic beverages. The document outlines three franchise models: fast casual, express, and full service. The fast casual model typically includes 40-60 seats and offers sit-down, carry-out, and delivery services.
In contrast, the express model is designed with no or limited on-premises seating and does not serve beer and wine. The full-service restaurant model provides dine-in, take-out, and delivery options and may also sell alcoholic beverages.
The choice of which model a franchisee opens depends on factors such as location and the franchisee's experience. It is important to note that while some Carbones Pizzeria restaurants have achieved certain sales volumes, individual results may vary, and there is no guarantee of similar sales.
