Franchise Operations

Manage the full lifecycle of franchise locations — setup, transfers, merges, and closures.

Franchise operations cover everything that happens when a location joins, changes hands, rebrands, or closes. Each operation has a specific workflow in Flamel.

Key Concepts

Hub — The franchisor's central account. Hub users manage brand standards, playbooks, and broadcasts that flow to all workspaces.

Workspace — Each franchise location gets its own workspace. Workspace users manage their local social accounts, posts, and ads.

Owner — The primary user on a workspace. Typically the franchisee or location manager.

Before You Start

All franchise operations require Hub admin access. You'll be working in the Hub context (check the switcher in the top-left corner).

Make sure you have:

  • The franchisee's name and email address
  • The location's physical address
  • Access to the franchise's social media credentials (for new setups)
