Take N Bake Franchises

There?s no question that pizza is an attractive restaurant segment. Along with burgers and chicken, pizza represents one of the three main QSR categories. Pizza remains extremely popular and has continued to see at least some growth in recent years, which is not at all shabby for a very mature segment. Another trend is the pre-prepared meal that the customer cooks at home. The various ?meal in a box? delivery services that have been advertising heavily of late are one response to this trend. So what if you could offer consumers a freshly made pizza that requires only minimal effort from them yet will be hot and fresh from the oven when they?re ready to eat it? A take and bake franchise can allow you to do just that.

Not A New Idea

Surprisingly, take-and-bake, or ?take n bake? as it?s also called, is not a concept that was just conceived within the past few years. As it happens, many of the major take and bake pizza franchises were founded in the 1980s. One even dates to the early 1970s. The main innovations have been in the area of food quality and pizza variations. Many brands offer high quality, gourmet pizzas made from premium ingredients, something that has become more important to consumers in the past couple of decades. Many also allow the customer to watch their pizza being made, another popular trend. These units are typically built in-line, so real estate costs are lower. A very, very important cost component with take home pizza franchises is whether the concept is strictly take-and-bake or also cooks pizzas in the restaurant. A unit that only offers take home pizza requires no ovens or associated equipment like exhaust hoods and fire suppression systems. That means they can be opened for under $200,000, and in some cases well under that amount. Units that bake on-site will have more equipment and correspondingly higher costs. This is a cozy little corner of the $30 billion pizza market. Let Franchise Clique help you find great take & bake pizza franchise opportunities!
