The reality
Where franchise openings slip
In the words of franchise development leaders who run openings on spreadsheets today.
Openings keep slipping
“Out of five openings in the pipeline, how many got delayed? Five. All five. One by four months.”
Launches without a playbook
“We're building the new unit opening playbook on a spreadsheet right now.”
Every opening runs differently
“Every studio opening is a little different because the playbook lives in one person's head and a spreadsheet. We need it to run the same way every time.”
Openings without a clear path
“I want to tell a new franchisee exactly which certifications and milestones to hit before they hire. Today I can't see what they actually need from me.”

Common questions
Location Launcher FAQ
Can each location have a different opening process?
Yes. You build one standard playbook, and each location's board starts from it. Your team adds tasks for that location's market, such as a local permit, without changing the standard.
What happens when the opening date moves?
You change the date once. Delightree recalculates the deadlines of every dependent task and phase, so nobody re-dates the plan by hand.
Can the franchisee see and update the board?
Yes. The franchisee sees and completes their own tasks on the same board HQ uses, and HQ sees each update as soon as it's made.
What happens once the location opens?
The location moves straight into daily operations in Delightree. Its daily checklists and audit schedule are already attached, so HQ doesn't rebuild anything for day one.
Do we have to rebuild our current opening checklist?
No. Our team moves your existing opening checklists and documents into Delightree for you.
