Own A Salad-Ology and a Sub-Ology

About Salad-Ology / Sub-Ology

Salad-Ology is not your ordinary sub shop. We operate within a distinctive niche of the fast-casual industry one that combines high-quality food, operational efficiency, and an accessible, low-cost investment model. Our menu features crave-worthy subs, salads, soups, and sandwiches crafted with unique recipes and bold flavor combinations that keep guests coming back.

At our core, we’re not just serving food, we’re creating experiences. Our commitment to quality, innovation, and flexibility sets us apart as a brand that reimagines what a modern sub shop can be. From premium meats and cheeses to an expansive, thoughtfully designed menu, every detail is built to deliver value to both customers and owners. With operating hours that support balanced lifestyles and scalable growth, we’re more than a franchise, we’re a movement reshaping how people experience fast-casual dining.

Our philosophy is simple:
“Come in as a customer, leave as a friend, and return as family.”

We’ve cultivated an environment where employees feel valued, customers feel welcomed, and franchise partners feel supported. That culture creates loyal guests, motivated teams, and strong operators—cornerstones of long-term success.

Co-founder Paolo Fontana left a successful career in finance to pursue local entrepreneurship, discovering fulfillment through building Salad-Ology and Sub-Ology from the ground up. Today, he brings that same discipline, strategy, and hands-on leadership to guiding franchise partners on their own path to ownership and growth
