Box Lunch® is a no-frills fast service Sandwich Shop. We don't cook!! We feature Rolled PITA bread sandwiches (the Rollwich®) and use only the best quality ingredients. The perception of the general public is that we are a healthy alternative to Fried food. Our ingredients appeal to a broad demographic, and are neither healthfood or ethnically oriented. Our speed results from our basic operating system. We can easily feed 250 people per hour with a small crew and in a small space. We are perfectly suited to take-out, and to drive-up service. Our average per-customer is about $7.00, food costs of about %30, and our competition is anyone else in that price range. Start-up costs for Box Lunch are reasonable (usually under $120,000) and our fees are low. Some freedom of menu offerings is possible, and “home-cooked” sides and desserts are encouraged, but optional. We do NOT allow fried food or alcohol to be sold from our stores; it’s just bad for our image.

At Boston’s the Gourmet Pizza our Mission Statement is clear: To be a world class franchisor through selecting and training people to profitably manage an outstanding food service business. To achieve this goal we are innovative and responsive in our approach in business. We work as a team providing attention to detail but never losing sight of the larger picture. We recognize the need to provide leadership in all areas of operations, marketing, and restaurant development.
