Extreme Pita, a fast-food franchise, was preparing to launch four new pita products simultaneously across all of its locations in North America. High sales as well as product consistency and uniformity across all of its locations were key goals. Current training methods included preparation of a training manual, distribution of the manual to all stores, and self-study of the manuals by store staff.
