Pizza Patron works to build its leadership and franchisee corps by promoting from within.

FranchiseWire.com: No one knows Pizza Patrón quite like Raquel Merino-Finley. Her career with the brand started in 1994 and through drive, determination and hard work, she has climbed every level of Pizza Patrón's ladder from pizza maker to store manager to area supervisor to franchisee.
Raquel started with Pizza Patrón as a pizza maker 12 years ago. Immediately recognizing her talents and rewarding her hard work, Merino-Finley was promoted to the front of house where she became an expert at caring for customers. In 1998, she became co-manager of a Pizza Patrón location and was quickly given her own store to manage in 1999 after demonstrating her leadership and management capabilities. Raquel then moved on to manage Pizza Patrón's highest-volume store for more than three years before joining the corporate team and opening her own stores.
