Franchise businesses — especially food franchises like donut shops — struggle with consistency, knowledge sharing, and task execution across locations. Task planning relies on paper checklists and group chats. Recipes are scattered on 50+ sheets of paper. Training depends on whoever happens to be available.

I worked at a donut franchise that started as a top 5 location out of 30 and dropped to bottom 2 within two years. Workers were thrown in without training. 12-hour shifts with unfair task distribution led to burnout. Managers blamed workers for problems caused by a lack of structure.

The problems weren't the people — it was the system. FriendChise is the tool I wish existed.

A web app where franchise owners define task libraries and timetable templates at the franchise level, managers apply those templates to generate weekly schedules for their branch, and workers view their assigned tasks on any device.

Everything is scoped by organization with role-based permissions. Parent brands define defaults; child franchisees inherit and customize. An invite system handles onboarding, and a notification panel keeps everyone informed.
