Question 1

What's the actual difference between Franchise Accelerator and Co-Pilot?

Accepted Answer

Franchise Accelerator is done-for-you: our team runs franchise development for your brand. Co-Pilot is done-with-you: your team runs it, and we're the system and the guidance sitting right next to them. Same experience behind both, different amount of hands-on involvement from your side.

Question 2

How do I know which path is right for my brand?

Accepted Answer

It comes down to bandwidth and intent. If you want franchise development off your plate entirely, Franchise Accelerator fits. If you want to build the capability in-house and keep it long-term, Co-Pilot fits. We'll talk through your team and your goals on a call and tell you honestly which one makes sense.

Question 3

Can I switch between the two later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Some brands start on Franchise Accelerator to get momentum going, then move to Co-Pilot once they're ready to build the function in-house. We'll talk through what that transition looks like when the time comes.

Question 4

Do you work with brands that don't have a franchise development team yet?

Accepted Answer

That's most of who we work with. Whether you have no one in the seat or someone doing everything themselves, both paths are built to start from wherever your brand is right now.

Question 5

What does 'getting started' actually look like?

Accepted Answer

It starts with a call. We learn about your brand, your team, and where you are. If it's a fit, we tell you, and we tell you which path makes sense. If it's not a fit, we tell you that too.

Question 6

Is there a minimum commitment?

Accepted Answer

Details on term and pricing are covered on a call once we understand your brand and which path fits. Reach out and we'll walk you through it.
