🏬 Franchise & Multi-Location Scaling

The Prototype-Store Scorecard

Pick the 6 numbers that prove a location works before you copy it.

🎯 The Play

Expansion multiplies whatever you have — good or bad. Define a simple weekly scorecard for your best location: traffic, close rate, average ticket, gross margin, labor %, and local marketing cost per sale. Only replicate when the numbers are stable and understood.

🏁 End Result

Clear go/no-go decisions on expansion and an early warning system for underperforming locations.

🧰 Steal It

1. Choose 5–7 KPIs that drive profit.
2. Track weekly in one shared sheet.
3. Set target ranges from your best location.
4. Review every location against them each week.
5. Expand only when your prototype hits targets consistently.
