Naples Flatbread specializes in Neapolitan pizza and gourmet flatbreads cooked in a fiery hearth oven. This means cleaner, less expensive, and more efficient operations with no hood or ansul systems. Depending on the real estate site selected, a renovated space could cost a franchisee about $250,000, while a new build could cost around $800,000.ĭesiano says his goal is to keep things simple by equipping his kitchen with state-of-the-art cooking equipment to lock in great flavor combinations without the use of fryers, sauté, charbroilers, or any grease-producing equipment. Franchisee candidates should have a minimum net worth of $500,000 and liquid assets of at least $150,000 per restaurant. Naples Flatbread is seeking passionate, experienced business professionals, preferably seasoned restaurant operators, to partner with one of the original Flatbread leaders. He also opened a pair of restaurants in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 20 with his partner, Tulsa-based entrepreneur Jim Wilburn. Desiano opened the first location in Naples, Florida, in 2009, following that up with a restaurant in Estero, Florida, later that year and a third location in Naples in 2012. Naples Flatbread and Wine Bar founder Ralph Desiano announced plans to take the concept nationwide by offering franchise opportunities.
