We want to be open and honest with you about our opportunity so you can decide if owning a Pinot’s Palette paint and wine franchise is the right fit for you and your personal goals. We also would like to learn a little bit about you along the way, too, so we can decide if a partnership makes sense. Below is the recruitment path to becoming a Pinot’s Palette owner.
Step One – Apply for a Franchise
Every new adventure begins with one step. Once you have completed your research on our website, the next step is to fill out an Application for Consideration. Filling out an application signifies that you are ready to speak with our Development Manager. It is important that you fill out the application accurately as this will determine whether you are qualified. He can assist with answering any initial questions you may have and help you begin your journey here at Pinot’s Palette.


Step Two – Pinot 101 Introduction Call
Once your application is received, a member of our team will be reaching out to you for a brief conversation to verify your market of interest, financial qualification, and ownership plan. This is what we call Pinot 101. If your application is not approved you will receive an email notification. Prospects will be asked to complete a personal financial statement and submit it to the development team.
Step Three – First Brush Call
You will then be invited to view the First Brush Webinar. During the webinar, you will learn about Pinot’s Palette’s background, system benefits, and culture. We also provide the information you need to discover how Pinot’s Palette is the perfect fit for you.


Step Four – Discovery Day
Are you ready to meet the Team Pinot family? We are excited to meet you! Discovery Day is virtually and gives you the chance to meet the team and get to know us on a whole other level. You will have face time with our opening support team and get to meet and visit with the leadership team. The goal of this meeting is to solidify that this is the perfect partnership. If all goes well, you will be disclosed with the Franchise Disclosure Statement which details the business relationship.
Step Five – Paint the Picture Call
It is time to dive into the journey of business ownership and discover what Pinot’s Palette has to offer and why we are the number one paint and sip in franchisee satisfaction. You now have access to our Franchise Disclosure Document and will begin reviewing and understanding everything that comes with this partnership. In this call, we will begin to paint the picture of what life at Pinot’s Palette looks like.


Step Six – Networking Calls + Executive Interview
During this time, we will continue to answer questions, set you up to speak with our existing franchise owners and assist you with filling out your candidate profile. You will also get the chance to interview with our President. Now it is time to make your decision.
