Franchise

Malfitany Pasta Company is a scratch Italian kitchen featuring pasta, brick-oven pizza, and a welcoming atmosphere. Our franchise opportunity allows independent owners to bring the Malfitany experience to their local communities.

Restaurant or business management experience is helpful. We're interested in owners who are committed to leading a team, delivering great hospitality, and following Malfitany operating standards. We'll discuss your background and involvement during the application process.

The standard initial franchise fee is $25,000. This is one part of the total investment required to open your restaurant.

Your total investment will depend on factors such as location, restaurant size, the condition of the space, construction, equipment, and working capital. Our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) provides the estimated initial investment range and a breakdown of expenses.

The standard royalty is 5% of gross sales, paid weekly. Franchisees must also spend 2% of gross sales on local advertising, as described in the franchise agreement. The FDD explains applicable fees and obligations in more detail.

Each franchise includes a defined exclusive territory, generally extending five miles around the approved restaurant location. The exact boundaries, protections, and exceptions are described in the FDD and franchise agreement.

You can propose a location for review. Every restaurant site must receive approval before moving forward. We'll discuss site requirements and the approval process as part of your franchise evaluation.

The franchise agreement generally requires opening within six months. Your actual schedule will depend on securing a location, permitting, construction, equipment delivery, and completing training.

Our current franchise offering is structured around individual restaurant locations. If you're interested in multiple locations, let us know so we can discuss your goals and availability. Additional locations require separate approval and agreements.

Results vary based on factors such as location, sales, occupancy costs, staffing, food costs, and management. We do not guarantee sales or profits. Please refer to Item 19 of our current FDD for any financial performance representations we make.
