La Porchetta is Australia’s largest, fully licensed restaurant franchise specialising in Italian and modern cuisine at value-for-money prices. Over 20 years, the brand has developed a national profile and our customers think of us as "Australia's Own Italian Kitchen". Brand loyalty is built on providing quality meals and friendly service in a great atmosphere.  

There are many great reasons to choose a La Porchetta franchise. You’re buying into an established national brand with a strong market presence and a franchise system that is proven to work, with more than 20 years and 80 stores behind it. There is a flat fee system, so the more you earn, the more you keep and you have the backing of our national support office every step of the way, from setting up your business, to initial and ongoing training, marketing support and networking meetings.  

To be a successful La Porchetta franchisee, you need a passion for the food and hospitality industry, stamina, entrepreneurial drive and great people skills.  If you are right for the business, we can teach you all you need to know to run a La Porchetta restaurant.  

Once you’ve registered your interest in owning a La Porchetta franchise, we’ll guide you through the approval process.  This involves application forms, attending interviews and practical theory and training.  It’s all designed to show you the La Porchetta experience so you can make an informed decision.  

We will then provide intensive training covering all aspects of owning a La Porchetta franchise. This includes practical, on-site training at designated restaurants. We also give you the opportunity to take part in ongoing training as required.  

Our ongoing support includes national brand and local area marketing campaigns, the opportunity to take part in further training as required, an annual conference and regular forums with other franchisees and brand innovation with the introduction of new products and services to add to your business.  

Sometimes it’s best to let others do the talking for you.  Here are a few examples of what our franchisees say:  

I purchased my La Porchetta franchise more than a decade ago because I thought the concept of good food at affordable prices is a winner and that proved to be absolutely right.   We cook Italian food that is as traditional as its possible to be in a restaurant. It's all made fresh, on-site daily and our customers know they're getting a great meal at a great price.  The La Porchetta franchisors are very easy to work with and help you out in any way they can. It's a great business.  
Vito - Melton La Porchetta  

We purchased our franchise in 2004 because we liked the concept of a family orientated Italian restaurant.  This fitted well with the kind of business we were looking for.  We’ve been very satisfied with all aspects of the business and it’s become a family affair, because our son who has completed several degrees, bought a La Porchetta franchise for himself as well.    

Our clients really like the quality of food and great service we provide and they often thank us for a wonderful meal.  

As the La Porchetta franchise business has expanded, we’ve found that head office support has grown as well and they are only too willing to help in any way required.    

I would recommend the franchise to anyone who is willing to put in 100% as they’ll reap the benefits.
