Get franchisees up and running fast

The success of your onboarding experiences determine the success of your network as a whole. Yet many franchisors follow an unstructured, variable process.

Important tasks slip through the cracks. HQ teams struggle to coordinate. There's no consistent knowledge sharing or training.

Our configurable template puts an end to this. Every franchisee receives the same onboarding experience, with no stone left unturned.  Resulting in faster unit launches and more consistent operations.

4. Launch 

Use the personalized template as a foundation for every new franchisee going forward.

Adopt or adapt. It's up to you.

The template is separated into common phases of the franchise onboarding process, including: 

  • Pre-set up and kick-off
  • Site and operational readiness
  • Franchisee training and certification
  • Marketing and launch preparation
  • Unit launch and early support
  • Retrospective and handover

You can keep these sections and the tasks within them. Or you can customize the project to suit your unique onboarding workflow. From there, it's simple a case of assigning task ownership and defining status flows.

How our onboarding template benefits your franchise network

Improve consistency

Our standardized onboarding process leaves no stone unturned. After cloning and customizing our template, you'll have a repeatable list of tasks for every new franchisee. Meaning no forgotten steps and no knowledge gaps. Every location will follow the same steps, resulting in more consistent operations and customer experiences.

Encourage accountability

Assignments and deadlines hold franchisee and franchisor teams accountable. Communication features encourage better cross-team collaboration. And status updates help you gauge where each task is and when you can expect its completion.

Scale with ease

Creating fresh onboarding projects for every new franchisee wastes time. Our reusable template allows you to scale with ease, rollout training efficiently, and get units launch-ready quickly. 

Get a complete audit trail

Claromentis will record every activity within the onboarding project, meaning you'll have an auditable trail of what tasks were completed, when they were completed, and who completed them. This can be especially useful when investigating bottlenecks, escalating instances of noncompliance, or giving context to early-days unit inspections.

Reduce admin work

Our template digitizes and centralizes the complete onboarding process. This means you don't have to jump between communications tools, battle with printed checklists, or call-up franchisees for progress updates.

Claromentis franchise onboarding template FAQs

What are the key stages of the franchise onboarding process?

The typical franchise onboarding process contains 6 key stages: 

  1. Franchisee set-up. Signing agreements, sharing operations manuals, providing access to your franchise management software portal.
  2. Site readiness. Preparing the unit location, establishing territory maps, and completing compliance checks.
  3. Training and certification. Including courses surrounding: product, SOPs, health and safety, brand standards, and regulations.
  4. Launch preparation and marketing. Organizing launch dates and events, providing approved brand assets and marketing materials, and liaising with local authorities or communities. 
  5. Early support and guidance. Scheduling on-site visits, providing support channels, and implementing periodic inspections. 
  6. Franchisor retrospection. Reviewing the success of the unit launch, capturing lessons learned, and transitioning to "business as usual" operations. 

The Claromentis franchise onboarding template walks you through every step in this list. However, it's not set in stone. If your onboarding process contains more granular steps, compliance checks, or handover processes, you can customize the template to include them.

We give you the blueprint - you take what works and add more as you see fit. 

How can Claromentis speed up onboarding and franchisee set-up?

Claromentis speeds up franchisee onboarding and set-up by standardizing the process.

Every time you onboard a new franchisee, you'll follow a pre-determined project list comprising key phases and granular tasks. With assigned ownership, statuses, and convenient progress bars, you'll be able to identify and resolve bottlenecks before they turn into week or month-long delays.
