Here’s the rundown on how to open your own Rotolo’s Pizzeria franchise.

1. If you’re an interested franchisee, contact the corporate franchisee manager at 225-293-2889, email franchise@rotolos.com or submit a contact form.
2. The corporate franchise manager will set up a meeting time for you, potential franchisee, to discuss Rotolo’s opportunities. You’ll receive a Franchise Packet in the mail, which includes all franchise information, an application, circular offering and a confidentiality agreement.
3. If you qualify, you’ll come to the Rotolo’s Corporate Office and meet with founder Mitch Rotolo.
4. A background check and credit history report is obtained by Rotolo’s Corporate office and reviewed. Franchise review committee will then notify you as to whether or not you’re approved.
5. If approved, there will be a second meeting between Mitch Rotolo and you. A Franchise Agreement is given to be signed, and the franchise fee is paid.
6. Site selection and training begin!
7. After the site is selected, training continues, and the build-out process begins according to Rotolo’s store layout.
8. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are ordered and put into place. A marketing campaign for new locations and interviews for new staff begins. All proper permits and licenses are obtained.
9. After final store inspections, you’ll receive two weeks of Corporate support for staff training and to help with your soft opening.
10. And finally, the GRAND OPENING!
