Franchise Operations Manuals, Guides, and Playbooks for Emerging Franchise Brands
Emerging franchise brands usually have a few more units than a newly launched system. You’ve trained multiple operators, maybe been around for a few years. Your systems are more mature and stable. You’re ready to invite others to follow your model. We’ll help make sure you’re ready.

Create a System for Growth
You’re not documenting your business, you’re documenting your business model. Franchisees don’t buy BBQ restaurants or massage studios, they buy business systems and brands. You can’t grow if you don’t have a system. That starts with the operations manual.
Plan for Change
You’re not perfect, and you never will be. But gaps in your system and processes will be exposed with your first franchisee. Having experienced advisors can make those gaps smaller and more manageable, requiring less re-work between franchisees one and two (and two to three).
Streamline Training and Support
A good measure of how good your processes are is to ask yourself “Can I train a dentist to run this business?” – because your franchisees will come from all walks of life. Your operations manual is the basis for your training programs, especially at first. Train them. Support them. Help them succeed.
We’ll help you get your franchise operations manual ready.
