Happy Joe's franchisee training and support is second to none, leaving new franchisees feeling excited about opening their restaurant and fully prepared to handle its day-to-day operations.
In this blog, we'll take a deeper dive into how we prepare new franchisees to leverage our business model to make the most of our pizza and ice cream franchise opportunity. No experience is no problem, so keep reading to find out why!
At Happy Joe's, we know how vital it is to start your new franchise off on the right footing. This becomes especially important if you have little or no prior QSR experience to rely on. But don't worry; our franchise experts will be on hand from the moment you sign your franchise agreement with us. They’ll start by helping you find and build out the perfect location for your new restaurant. We know what to look for in the right location, and we’ll help you narrow down your choices before settling on one that will allow you to be there for your community.
Around the same time, you and members of your management team will also enjoy comprehensive pre-opening training at our headquarters in Bettendorf, Iowa. During that time we’ll go over important subjects like:
In total, you’ll spend up to 21 hours of classroom time and over 300 hours undergoing on-the-job training. We’ll also provide you with a list of our approved vendors for all the supplies and inventory you’ll need — from our cheerful furniture and lighting to uniforms, kitchen equipment, paper products, and more — so you won’t have to worry about finding suppliers and establishing new relationships with them. That’s precious time you’ll be able to spend on other things, like getting involved in your community or setting growth goals for your new Happy Joe’s franchise!
Additionally, for any questions you might have throughout the ownership of your franchise, you can refer to our proprietary Operations Manual which goes over all our Happy Joe’s processes and procedures in detail. We’ve also developed an online training system, called iPaths, for our restaurant owners and their managers and employees that keeps everyone up to date on best practices.
One of the distinct advantages of franchising with a legacy brand like Happy Joe’s is that we’ve developed a comprehensive support system for our franchisees that includes expert national and regional marketing, ongoing research and development, important networking opportunities, and much more. Plus, because we’ve been putting smiles on faces for decades, the Happy Joe’s brand name is a recognized and respected one — folks already know it stands for excellence — so you won’t have to spend nearly as much time establishing your franchise.
When all is said and done, we know the continued success of our beloved brand depends entirely on that of each and every one of our hardworking franchisees, so we don’t leave that to chance! With us, you’ll enjoy all the freedom of being your own boss, plus all the perks of having an industry leader behind you every step of the way.
Happy Joe’s pizza franchisee training and support is just one of the perks that separates us from the rest. To find out more about how to enjoy them, get in touch today!
