It takes a special kind of person to run a successful restaurant. Is that you?

Looking at somewhere like Just Pizza & Pasta, busy and bustling nearly every night and serving thousands of customers every month, you might even begin to think running a restaurant is simple. Food + Location = Success. All you need is the money to invest and a halfway decent menu, right?

Wrong. It’s just that Just Pizza & Pasta makes it look easy!

Running a restaurant is HARD. It took Mitch and his team 7 long years to get this point, and to be 100% confident that what they could offer others was something truly special they knew could work anywhere else in the UK. That groundwork has already been done, meaning you can launch into a successful business straightaway, but it is easy to forget:

THE SECRET INGREDIENT IS: YOU

While joining a franchise like Just Pizza & Pasta means you are tapping into a proven model which offers you a blueprint to replicate their success, but it still takes a really special kind of person to make this work. Which is why, one year on from launching as a franchise, and more than 600 enquiries later, we still haven’t found exactly the right kind of people who we believe can make this opportunity work for them.

SO, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU’VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO RUN WITH THE NEXT BIG THING ON THE UK RESTAURANT SCENE?

Head over to the Just Pizza & Pasta franchise website, and you’ll see a page called Who We’re Looking For. You’ll find a list of important skills that make for a good franchisee. You don’t need to be experienced in the restaurant industry, though that would be a huge advantage, of course, but there are certain traits we think everyone needs.

However, make sure you also read the paragraph under the list, especially the first line which lists the most important part of all: you have really got to want it.

You need to be someone with real ambition and dedication to make it in this industry, even with the help of a great franchise model like this one. You need to be an entrepreneur who is excited and inspired about the prospect of being among the first to bring a fantastic new brand to the UK, or a dedicated F&B professional who is hungry for the chance to take charge of his or her own restaurant business at last.

Perhaps you’re even an ambitious front of house leader or head chef who’s ready to take things to the next level with a bit of help from Mitch and his team to get you started?

You bring the will, and Just Pizza & Pasta will give you the way.

SOUND LIKE YOU?

I know the right person for this franchise is already out there, so I’m very much looking forward to hearing from you.
