Franchise Questions Answered

Everything you want to know about opening your own via 313 pizza location.

Prior restaurant experience is helpful but not required. Via 313 provides a comprehensive multi-week training program that covers every aspect of operations, from pizza preparation to team management and customer service. Many of our most successful franchisees came from non-restaurant backgrounds.

Total investment ranges from approximately $150,000 for an Express unit to $600,000 or more for a full dine-in restaurant. Multi-unit deals require $800,000+. This includes the franchise fee, equipment, leasehold improvements, initial inventory, and working capital. Financing options through our preferred SBA lenders are available.

Franchisees pay a royalty of 5–6% of gross sales (depending on the model chosen) plus a marketing fund contribution of 2% of gross sales. These fees fund ongoing brand support, national and local advertising, technology platforms, and continuous operational improvements.

The typical timeline from approved application to grand opening is 8–14 months. This includes the FDD review period, site selection, lease negotiation, permitting, construction or build-out, and training. Our franchise development team works closely with you to keep the process moving efficiently.

Full restaurant and multi-unit franchisees receive protected territory rights. Your territory is defined and protected during the term of your franchise agreement, meaning Via 313 will not open or license another via313 location within your territory boundaries.

Our franchise support is comprehensive and ongoing. You'll have access to a dedicated franchise business consultant, national marketing campaigns, supply chain management, technology and POS support, menu innovation updates, and an active network of fellow via 313 pizza franchisees for peer support.
