Our streamlined business model lets you be a hands-on business owner without the stress of complex QSR options. Easy prep-and-serve operations make Rita’s a breeze to run with minimal staff. Low food costs mean better margins for you, and the flexibility of seasonal operations allows you to set your schedule and make time for what matters.

Each year brings new innovations, like our customer app, optimized drive-thrus and catering options.
