As Vice President of Operations, Patterson will lead both franchise and company restaurants to grow sales, customer counts, margins and continue to embed the company values within the Your Pie community. Patterson will partner with cross functional teams on projects that lead to the development, implementation and adoption of new procedures, processes and technologies for the long-term success of the Your Pie brand.

“Your Pie is proud to welcome a seasoned and successful franchise owner to our executive team,” said Your Pie CEO Dave McDougall. “As we continue making everyday moments better with pizza for guests across the country, Justin will bring his unique insights and deep understanding of the business to improve the support franchise owners receive, enhance the training of our entire team.”

Patterson began his career with Your Pie in 2015 when he purchased an existing restaurant and then more than doubled its sales in his seven-year tenure. He then planned and executed the opening of a second and third location in 2017 and 2019, respectively, operating all three as profitable restaurants throughout the duration of the pandemic.

“I am so excited about this next challenge and responsibility in my career at Your Pie,” said Patterson. “Through my years as a franchise owner, I have hired, trained and developed hundreds of employees, as well as mentored many employees through multi-year tenures in a high-turnover industry. I believe I have what it takes to take our business to the next level as we innovate, evolve and grow while maintaining the ethos and quality that our guests have come to expect and love.”
