Technically, No, but the restaurant business is hard, the hours are long and the competition is fierce, so why would you want to do that…unless of course you’re energized by all of the above. In the end, we prefer you have a minimum of 2 years experience leading a hospitality or retail environment.

We are excited to provide everything you need to feel confident about opening your Scotty P’s restaurant. First, you and your operating principals will join us for the pre-opening training program at our corporate headquarters in North Texas. The maximum duration of this course will be five weeks, including one week of classroom training and four weeks of on-the-job training in a Scotty P’s restaurant.  We’ll follow that with up to 10 days at your location – 4 days before you open and 6 days after — to make sure you are up, running and on your way. In addition, we will present you with a copy of our confidential operations manual to help you start a fast-casual restaurant efficiently and can continue to grow effectively.

The total initial investment necessary to begin operations ranges from $668,950 to $829,700 for a single location. This includes a $37,500 initial franchise fee. As with any new venture, it’s important to have adequate capital to fund the initial business growth stages.

The initial term of your agreement is ten years, with two subsequent successor agreement options of five years each.

$37,500 (Discount available for honorably discharged Veterans)

We do not provide direct financing to franchisees, but we may refer to financing sources on a case by case basis.

We charge a royalty fee equal to 6% of weekly gross revenue. Franchisees will contribute 1% to 3% of gross revenue to the system brand fund and are required to commit 2% to local marketing. Collected brand fees allow us to fund our ongoing support services and the continued development of marketing tools, recipes, training programs, and systems upgrades. For a full list of fees and other program details, please refer to our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).

No, as mentioned above we have a brand fund which serves in many capacities to assist in developing our brand.

• A brand fund, allows us to fund our ongoing support services and the continued development of marketing tools, recipes, training programs, and systems upgrades.
• Currently 1% of sales but it can go as high as 3%.

The options are limitless, nothing is ever guaranteed, but the FDD can give you an idea of what is possible.

You do, but Scotty P’s Franchise Support Team is here to help guide you along with real estate professionals who understand our demographics and location requirements.

Grocery based centers are typically our best locations. In addition the end cap with a patio is critical to a store’s success.

You have 90 days to find and sign your real estate agreement and then another 9 months from that time to open your location.

Of course, that’s what we are here for, to remove most of the obstacles and hurdles that single unit restaurants incur.

We offer a five-week training program, including one week of classroom training and four weeks of on-the-job training in a Scotty P’s restaurant. We’ll follow that with up to 10 days at your location – 4 days before you open and 6 days after — to make sure you are up, running and on your way to operating a successful operation. In addition, we will present you with a copy of our confidential operations manual to help you start a fast-casual restaurant efficiently and can continue to grow effectively.

Yes. We have an amazing setup with everything you will need to run a restaurant that can provide, Dine In, Curbside, Delivery, TakeOut, and Catering services. Everything from hand held devices that speed service and delivery to accounting, marketing, and human resources we have a tremendous solution that we will provide you access to when you become a franchise partner.

The way we see it, if you wanted to create your own menu and your own recipes you wouldn’t be coming to us for our years of expertise, menu development, testing and success in the marketplace, you’d open your own stand alone restaurant. While we love innovation, and our team is always looking for ways to improve, as a good partner, you’ll follow the recipes, food quality, service style and standards so that we maintain a consistent brand identity from location to location nationwide.

• Through standardized recipes and a strong agreement that compels franchise partners and franchise ownership to adhere to our recipes, processes, procedures and standards the brand will continue to maintain the consistency we’ve come to be known for these past 20 years. One of the greatest benefits a franchise partner will receive is working with a team that has run multiple units for decades and understands first hand the challenges and benefits of running multiple units consistently without exception.
• Additionally, we visit your location regularly to ensure the processes and procedures are being followed.  We conduct shops, inspections, and are here to be a valued partner with concise and informative feedback.  You can rest assured that we will do this diligently not only for your unit but for all our units and that the brand integrity is a top priority for both you and us.

Initially, we want you to take care of the four walls, as the initial 6 months to a year of ownership is like nothing you’ve ever done before. Eventually, the answer is YES, but let’s #BeRemarkable inside your location before we take our show on the road.
