Japes - Pizza Franchise

Making A Lot Of Dough

You may think the pizza market is saturated to the point where a pizza franchise doesn’t stand a chance. But Japes offers something different. Something unique. Something that works.

Japes’s pizzas are a fantastic high-margin product, meaning franchisees can see significant profits even early on!

A Standout Franchise

Across three stores, our brand has built an excellent reputation with many returning loyal customers and an ever-growing social media network built upon our centralised marketing.

Our restaurants are built only to high-quality standards but always at moderate cost. At £125,000 for 200 sq.m., Japes costs about half of any other pizza franchise. As a result, the ROI can be twice as fast!

We’ve also refined and streamlined production that minimises training and allows staff to work in the kitchens without needing specialised pizza-chef training. Through this system, we’ve achieved product consistency.

Japes can also be operated without extraction or gas connection, granting maximum location flexibility and a competitive advantage.

Franchisees benefit from the exceptional experience of the Japes team, with access to operational know-how and comprehensive training programmes.

We appeal to a broad and diverse demographic, allowing restaurants to succeed in local high streets and tourist locations.

Serving Only The Best

We’ve built a brand that stands out in the Food & Beverage sector using unique proprietary recipes for our sauces and dough, creating delicious pizzas with only 100% natural ingredients.

Japes features a fantastic range of products: Chicago-style deep-dish pizzas that are differentiated enough to stand out in the incredibly lucrative pizza market, worth £3.2 billion in the UK alone.

We’ve thoroughly researched our key offering, and the team tested and approved all of the ingredients for the deep-dish pizza. Innovative or classic, the results are always delicious!

Brand Successes

• We’ve built an amazingly loyal fanbase with an expanding social media presence, returning customers and a reputation for excellence.
• Japes now features three massively successful restaurants in some of London’s most popular but competitive areas:
  • Soho
  • Greenwich
  • Camden Town

This was accomplished through an excellent menu offering, enthusiastic commitment to hard work and an environment of chilled, friendly vibes.

• Japes continues to receive rave reviews from some of London’s premier food and beverage media, as well as a 4.8 average Google score (from 6,500+ reviews) and 4.7 average on Deliveroo, speaking to the incredible quality of the brand.
• Japes has developed a premier franchise package featuring comprehensive training, operational support and marketing experience. This ensures that new franchisees have all of the support required for a smooth opening and continuous success.

Proof Of Success

“A strong start in Greenwich has opened our eyes about the potential that our brand has in London and further afield. Our newly introduced London-style pizza was very well received by our loyal customers, thus further increasing their number of visits and positively impacting our brand reputation and turnover.  As a result, we looked at the franchise model and found our brand really suited to it, as we have a high margin products, our operation is totally de-skilled and our restaurants are relatively cheap to build.”

- Aleksandar Aleksic

“It is exciting to represent such a compelling opportunity in the established food franchise pizza market. Japes’ pizza is really addictive, customers just love it, because it is different and delicious. I can see all franchise groups that do not have pizza in their portfolio want this as the numbers stack up, landlords are keen, franchisor support is there and the potential market is immense.”

Franchisee Requirements

Japes is actively seeking experienced and self-motivated franchisees to join the brand on the journey to become a global sensation.
