Who uses it

One record for the people opening the store and the people responsible for the brand.

Franchisors

  • Which stores are late, before a franchisee asks.
  • Who has the next step: ToTo, the franchisee, the contractor, or the city.
  • Budget after approved change orders, not a spreadsheet on the side.

Franchisees

  • One next step, with a date, instead of a thread of emails.
  • The items only you can unblock, called out by name.
  • Photos, punch, and questions live on the store, not in a group chat.

Everything from LOI to open

The path from final LOI to opening. 5.5 months on a standard space, 3.5 on a second-generation restaurant.
