Your Pie, the nation’s original fast casual pizza brand, is proud to announce Justin Patterson as its new VP of Operations. As a Your Pie franchise owner for more than seven years, Patterson brings a wealth of industry experience and expertise to the Your Pie leadership team.

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.

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. 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.”

Patterson is a graduate of the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business and currently resides in Alpharetta with his wife and three children.
