A reusable franchise onboarding template
Roll out a structured franchise onboarding project for every new unit, with clear sections, assignments, and deadlines.
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.

How does the template work?
1. Copy the template
Clone the pre-built template, provided within our comprehensive franchise management software.
2. Edit the content
Adjust the sections, task lists, and user assignments to align with your unique onboarding model.
3. Save the project
Once you've finished customizing, save the project as a new template within the Projects application.
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.
Improve accountability and collaboration
Built using Claromentis' Project Management application, our template doesn't just streamline task assignment. It can help foster greater collaboration and accountability, too.
Comment on individual tasks or sections, upload project documentation or evidence, and keep track of onboarding progress with customizable project views and progress bars.

Claromentis franchise onboarding template FAQs
What are the key stages of the franchise onboarding process?
The typical franchise onboarding process contains 6 key stages:
- Franchisee set-up. Signing agreements, sharing operations manuals, providing access to your franchise management software portal.
- Site readiness. Preparing the unit location, establishing territory maps, and completing compliance checks.
- Training and certification. Including courses surrounding: product, SOPs, health and safety, brand standards, and regulations.
- Launch preparation and marketing. Organizing launch dates and events, providing approved brand assets and marketing materials, and liaising with local authorities or communities.
- Early support and guidance. Scheduling on-site visits, providing support channels, and implementing periodic inspections.
- 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.
