Support We are fanatical about our support When we launched our franchise system, we researched every great franchise company. We mapped out the ultimate support model based on our findings. Many competitors are woefully lacking in this area. Even the ones that are good at training often leave their franchisees alone once it's complete. We also knew you couldn't learn this business in a 1-week training program. As a result, we developed our intensive business-coaching program. When you join our family, you are assigned a coach. Your coach will walk you through the start up process step-by-step as you grow the business from start up to fully-operational. Once you have been operational for 1 year, the relationship evolves into more of an analysis of specific functions. Your call (now every 2 weeks) will delve into aspects of your business to help you get better. -
