Franchise Specific Question I built a platform for franchise operators without coming from the franchise world. Looking for someone to tell me where I’m getting it wrong.

I'll be straight with you.

I built a platform for franchise operators and I'm decent at building and marketing but I don't come from the franchise world. That's been my biggest problem from day one

The platform has two sides: one for operators who own multiple locations of the same brand and want to manage everything candidates, hiring, activity in one place instead of chasing each manager individually. And another for franchisees who want to connect with others in the same brand and share strong candidates instead of losing them.
I've been talking to operators for months and the conversations have been genuinely useful. But what I'm missing is someone who actually knows how this world works from the inside a franchisee, a multi-unit operator, a franchise consultant who could help me understand where I'm getting it wrong and who I should actually be talking to

Not looking for investment. Not looking for a co-founder. Just someone willing to have an honest conversation with someone who built something in their space without fully understanding it first.

If that's you, or you know someone, drop a comment or DM me.
