Equipment Breakdown Turns up Heat at Pita Grill
When a ventilation system failed, owner Juan Manuel Lopez applied to Fora Financial for quick-turnaround financing.

It’s hard not to break a sweat in the kitchen at Pita Grill, a Manhattan franchise that serves fresh and healthy Mediterranean dishes. So, when a ventilation system failed at one of the restaurant’s locations, owner Juan Manuel Perez had to act fast: He didn’t have time to apply for a bank loan to cover this expensive and critical repair.
“With Fora Financial, I got an approval with minimal paperwork and the financing I needed within three business days,” says Juan, a restaurant veteran who started as a delivery boy and worked his way up the franchise ladder. Since his initial financing, Juan has used Fora Financial’s merchant financing program six different times to make improvements to his franchise, which now has three locations.
