Why Invest in a Take 'N Bake Pizza Franchise?

Your customer enjoys a hot, freshly-baked pizza every time. It's the convenience of frozen pizza, with the quality of a fresh pizza. Its never late, cold or soggy.

There is no need to purchase expensive equipment like an oven, or an exhaust system. Minimal area is required, reducing occupancy costs and utility costs.

You realize lower labor and training cost, with fewer hours worked than traditional pizza restaurants.

You benefit from a low overall capital investment requirement, with Reduced construction and equipment costs.

Why should I develop a Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® restaurant instead of another concept?

Simplicity:
Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® restaurants typically do not open for business until noon, Monday through Friday. You can accomplish product preparation for the day before noon with one person. During the afternoon and evenings, you increase your production and management staff.

There is no cooking, no baking and no frying. Production functions are extremely easy to learn. Equipment maintenance is limited.

Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® restaurants menu offerings specialize in take-out service for ready-to-bake pizzas, ready-to- bake lasagna, and salads. You may offer delivery service if it is warranted. Inventory is moderate, and execution is easy.

Low Capitalized Investment compared to other restaurant concepts:
The Initial Capitalized Investment in a Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® restaurant ranges from $97,600 to $159,800, including the Franchise Fee and working capital reserve. The lower capitalized investment can be achieved by converting a formerly developed retail strip center location.

The equipment package is relatively simple and inexpensive. Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® restaurants do not use ovens, fryers, grills and the related exhaust systems associated with that equipment.

Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® offers take-out and delivery only. There is no seating, therefore no need for a second public restroom.

Most landlords finish a retail shell space with a drop ceiling, floor finishes and one restroom, thereby reducing construction costs.

Profitable:
Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® restaurants, on average, achieve 55% total food, paper and labor cost, including management; an enviable accomplishment in the restaurant business.

Because there is no baking, frying or grilling, with the resulting exhaust hood systems, utility costs are lower than the average restaurant.

Because of the simple, limited kitchen equipment required, maintenance costs are lower than the average restaurant.

Award Winning Product Quality:
Only fresh, high quality ingredients go into Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® restaurant menu items, plus a large dose of innovative imagination. That's why the Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® concept is recognized by professionals across the nation, and why Mama Mimi's Take N' Bake Pizza® owners can say with pride that it won the following awards:

National Pizza Pizzazz Competition: "Best Gourmet Pizza in America in 2001"

World Pizza Championship in Italy: "Best Gourmet Pizza in North America"

National Pizza Festiva in Las Vegas: "Best Vegetarian Pizza" in 2004

National Pizza Festiva in Las Vegas: "Pizza of the Year" in 2006

Complimenting award winning pizzas, Mama Mimi's Take 'N Bake Pizza® restaurants round out their menu with Mama's own family recipe lasagna, freshly assembled dinner salads on demand, and Aunt Cecilia's Tiramisu.
