Join the famigilia

Rozzi’s Fresh Kitchen is the collaborative outcome of seasoned food and business operators who have combined their past 30 years of industry experience to create this exciting fast casual dining offer.

We believe in creating interesting and unique places to enjoy our simple and great tasting ‘Italian inspired’ food.

Our model has been built to be located in a variety of locations: shopping centres, shopping strips, airports, hotels and universities. Either way we’ll make sure you feel like you’re in our home and ready for some of our great, simple Italian inspired food.

Just like our philosophy on all things food-related, our franchise business model is simple, reliable and proven if you are prepared for some hard work and commitment along the way.

As we take Italian inspired food around the country and beyond, we will be seeking some more members to join our franchise famiglia. This is a snapshot into our famigilia.

What makes a great franchise partner?

Multi Site Opportunities

We are seeking to partner with experienced Food & Beverage business operators who currently or have previously managed more than 2 site locations successfully.

Single Store Opportunities

Obviously, if you have any hospitality, retail or service experience that will certainly be an advantage initially, but is certainly not essential.

A full franchise induction and training program will be completed by you and another person you nominate. The most important element in joining our business is that you follow our systems and adhere to our standards.

What do I need to get started?

Are there any on-going fees?

Ready to take the big bite?

This is broadly the process you will have to join us in, it’s extremely detailed but it’s extremely important to us that we get the right fit.
1
Lodge an Expression of Interest Form online (if you haven’t already done so) and ensure you provide us all your contact details so we can get back to you promptly.
2
Our Rozzis Franchisee Recruitment Manager will make contact to answer some of your questions and ask you some questions as well as provide you with an application form to complete so we can see if you look like the sort of business owner and passionate person that we are looking for.
3
So far, so good? If you can feel your creative juices bubbling away and are itching to start, then we meet. In this meeting, we will discuss Rozzis business model and we will, using your completed application form, assess your strengths, weaknesses, financial viability and stability. (Please bring any person that is involved in this transaction or this proposed business venture with you to this meeting including your partner or spouse etc so we can meet them too and ensure all their questions are answered as well).
4
The next step, if the meeting is a success and we are both happy to proceed further into the due diligence process, the applicant will be asked to pay a small, but fully refundable deposit of $3,300 to a trust account in order to continue the process. (This is purposely designed so we know who the serious players are as we get lots of interest and enquiries but we want to spend more of our time with the right people and weed out the tyre-kickers or competitors that are trying to learn more about what we do).

Now we can begin to open the doors to our business to you and share more information with you. This may include sharing with you some historical figures of some of our current stores to give you an idea of how our stores have performed to date. (Please bear in mind that the performance of our current stores is in no way a predictor or forecast of what your store may do but simply an opportunity for you to have a better grasp of how well our business operates across various demographics and locations, which may assist you in choosing a suitable location or store format be it a High street location or a Kiosk).

You will also be invited to join us at one of our stores for a ‘Discovery Day” as an observer to see what we do and how our stores operate; we may even let you do some work if you feel

comfortable being involved. We consider this to be our ‘Test Drive’; after all, it’s a big decision. We want to ensure you observe the business from all angles.Following the Discovery Day, you will again meet with our Franchisee Recruitment Manager to discuss any questions or concerns you may have, if any and if we are both happy to proceed further, we will then provide you with any further information you need to assist you in completing your due diligence and for you to review this opportunity with your Accountant and Business Adviser (Each applicant is advised to seek independent advice).
We will also ask you to provide us with a Police and Credit check and will provide you with the instructions on how to complete these and you will be asked to bring these to your next meeting with our Franchisee Recruitment Manager.
5
Once you have completed your business and financial due diligence, you will then meet with Rozzis franchisors, Dean Salomone for your approval meeting along with your franchisee recruitment manager that has guided you throughout your recruitment journey so far. If approved we will ask you to provide us with your company business details and entity so we can then provide you with our franchise agreements in in final form. These are to be reviewed and signed no earlier than 14 days after they are provided to you. This allows you time to review all documents and seek independent legal advice.
6
Once the agreements are signed and returned along with the Franchise Fee, you will then be given a 7 Day Cooling Off period before we proceed any further. We want you to be 100% sure that this is the right fit for you. Once this step is completed, you will then pay the Building Deposit Fee.
7
As soon as the lease and plans are finalised and we have access to your site, then your fit-out and store-building process begins!
8
Once the store build/fit-out process has commenced, your Franchisee Training Programme will also commence. You will also start to hire staff for the opening of your Store.
9
Handover of your brand new Rozzis premises! You will do some trial runs, train your staff, get to know your store inside and out.
10
Store launch and Grand Opening! You are now officially part of the Rozzis Franchise Family.
