PASSION is Number One!

PASSION is number one!

“We’re looking for franchisee owners that exude passion. I can teach everything on how to run a restaurant, but I cannot teach passion,” said Doug Bostick, Fazoli’s Senior VP of Operations and Franchise Development.

The Fazoli’s brand has been growing strong and has gone through some significant renovations in the last 12-16 months, from the menu revamps to remodels of the locations. They believe in staying current always in all ways. “The renovations line up with our growth plans,” Bostick explained.

Fazoli’s is a brand with a rich history tracing back to 1988. Based in Lexington, Kentucky, Fazoli’s was created with the mission to serve premium quality Italian food, fast, fresh, and friendly. Fazoli’s continues to offer strong unit economics, innovative menu options, and personalized franchise support.

Fazoli’s pioneered service-after-the-sale in the QSR industry before the actual establishment of the fast-casual segment. They believe in providing guests with an unparalleled experience – real plate ware and silverware and table-side grated parmesan – differentiating Fazoli’s from the competition in the QSR space.

In 2018, Fazoli’s showed no signs of slowing down. The brand set records with its number of openings, signed three new franchise agreements, ramped up plans to remodel and introduced Snacks & Shareables as part of a menu refresh resulting in one of the most successful product launches in the brand’s history.

To maintain their competitive edge, Fazoli’s continues to invest in new technologies to elevate the guest experience and support their franchisees; hence the remodels. They offer full IT support, including point-of-sale and back of the house systems. In this technology-driven, on-demand marketplace, they have embraced technology. In addition to app/rewards and mobile ordering, they are also integrating third party delivery.

“At Fazoli’s, we look for franchisees with food industry experience. However, if you have a passion for the restaurant business, we can teach you how to be a successful restaurant owner. It’s passion we look for, that’s number one! We want our franchisees to become a part of our family. Franchisee gatherings offer complete support to one another. There’s a strong camaraderie between us. We are all together in every step of the way,” says Bostick.

Fazoli’s has nearly 220 restaurants in 28 states and is currently seeking single- and multi-unit operators to join its franchise network. Fazoli’s is confident in its growth plan and is offering an impressive incentive plan to potential franchisees. What about you? Are you driven, passionate, and ready to start your own business? If so, they would love to chat with you.
