Pizza Factory has hired Andrew Winston as a franchise business coach, according to a press release.

Winston will assist Pizza Factory with franchisee support and brings nearly 20 years of industry experience to the position.

"Making sure our franchisees are given the tools to succeed as entrepreneurs in their communities is very important to our brand, and our franchise business coach position is fundamental to that," Mary Jane Riva, Pizza Factory CEO, said in the release. "Andrew's extensive restaurant industry experience and intense passion for operations will be an asset to his role, and I know the impact he will make on the brand will be a strong one. We have a ton of development in the pipeline for 2022 and I'm confident Andrew will play a pivotal role in onboarding new franchisees and supporting existing ones."

"After having worked with multiple brands in the restaurant sector throughout my career, I have never come across a concept with an executive team as strong as Pizza Factory," Winston said in the release, who previously worked as an operating partner and area manager prior to entering the franchising space. "Mary Jane is an incredible leader to learn from and through my time with the brand so far, I've seen first-hand the support that is necessary for each individual location to succeed. I'm looking forward to assisting Pizza Factory owners, using the successful tactics I've learned over the years, and helping them reach their goals in the coming months."

Pizza Factory operates more than 100 locations.
