Boston Pizza Franchise Model Overview

Boston's The Gourmet Pizza Restaurant & Sports Bar is the U.S. arm of the Canadian Boston Pizza system, serving pizza, pasta, entrees and appetizers in a full-service dining room paired with a sports bar of flat screens, pool and darts, plus a patio. Units run 4,300 to 7,000 square feet and need a liquor license, a full kitchen, extensive audio-visual systems and a large hourly crew. The investment is seven figures on leased space. Fees are moderate at 5 percent royalty and 3 percent brand fund. A Responsible Owner with at least 25 percent equity runs the business directly or through an approved Franchise Manager, and all owners and spouses sign guaranties. The U.S. system has hovered around 20 to 24 restaurants for three years with no company stores. Item 19 gives 2025 gross sales by tercile, and the franchisor holds a 30-day right of first refusal on any sale.
