Who can tell me something about Pizza Hut, Papa John's or Domino's Pizza franchises?

1.) What is a general profit margin and weekly sales figure? For instance, if a store sales $15,000 worth a pizza a week, what is the profit after taking into account franchise fees, labor -hourly and management, food, insurance, utilities, etc?



2.) Of the Big 3 pizza chains, which is the “best” in terms of the franchisee dealing with corporate, etc?



3.) What do you think the future of this particular business is?Who can tell me something about Pizza Hut, Papa John's or Domino's Pizza franchises?
I have worked with hundreds of Pizza Franchises, including all the ones you mentiond above. You can expect your profit to be 5% of the gross sales. They really hit you hard with franchise fees. If you can afford it, i would look at a smaller less known franchise, their profit tend to be closer to 10% and the accounting restrictions arent as strict. (if you get my drift ((CASH))).



As for my opinion on the big three, i think Domino's is the better franchise, Papa Johns is an expensive franchise and the build out of a Pizza Hut is through the roof.



The future of the Pizza business is bright in my opinion. During a recession people order more pizza because its cheaper than feeding a family of 5 at Applebees. And people always love Pizza. Great investment if you have the time and energy to put into the restaurant.
