What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Carbones Pizzeria's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee can operate a full-service restaurant, a fast-casual restaurant, or an express location. The specific restaurant model is agreed upon at the time the Franchise Agreement is signed.
The full-service Carbones Pizzeria restaurant, which may include a bar, typically ranges from 2,500 to 4,000 square feet. The fast-casual restaurant is smaller, ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 square feet and usually has between 40 and 60 seats. The express model is the smallest, with a size of 1,100 to 1,300 square feet.
In addition to these models, Carbones Pizzeria franchisees may also offer food and beverages from a food truck or provide catering services, but these options require prior approval from the franchisor and must comply with their standards and requirements. This provides franchisees with some flexibility in tailoring their business to their local market, but it's important to understand that all aspects of the operation are subject to the franchisor's control.
