FRANCHISE OFFERS
OWNER-FRIENDLY BENEFITS
As a franchise opportunity, Papa Murphy’s
is more “owner-friendly” than some con-
cepts. They offer operational simplicity,
which means no ovens, dining rooms,
delivery service, drive-thrus and, perhaps
the most appealing feature, no late hours.
The morning is typically spent prepping
the day’s ingredients in advance of the
3-7 p.m. rush. A typical store has 12 to 14
people on payroll, van der Lee said, and
four to five operating the “make line” each
day. The goal of moving customers in and
out of the store in three to four minutes
makes for a quick pace, and keeps hungry
customers happy.
What also makes Papa Murphy’s unique
is the company’s commitment to commu-
nity involvement and their pride in going a
step beyond the norm.
