Not just an LMS for Franchise

A full learning platform.

We understand owning a franchise can be a very profitable, but very stressful venture. Franchises work differently than other businesses because your product and services are dictated by the larger corporation. Many successful franchises rely heavily on training programs that help ensure that the operations, procedures, service and quality are all up to company standards.

Take McDonald’s, for example, who realized very early that training was an important part of franchising their business out. McDonald’s has over 31,000 restaurants in 118 countries, according to their website, and they continue growing. They instituted a new idea back in 1961 called Hamburger University, which was built to emphasize the importance of consistent restaurant operations. They taught company procedures, service and cleanliness to franchise owners and employees.

While training programs and company “Universities” were a breakthrough idea back in the 60’s, many franchises are now turning to online training to assist with their training programs.

A learning management system is one of the best ways to train franchise owners and employees, because the company is able to create and deliver specific, detailed training. This training is not only designed and full created by the company itself, but it can keep procedures and training constant across the board, ensuring better, more branded businesses.

 Online training benefits for franchises include:
  • Extending the franchisor’s training capacity for both staff and franchisees without the cost of sending trainers to franchisee locations or staff to out-of-town seminars
  • Ensuring consistency in the training message that might otherwise be altered when delivered by training personnel in the field
  • Providing training that can be accessed at the user’s convenience and from any location
  • Pre-training for franchisees on important issues prior to “live” training
  • Security, as information is generally password-protected, so that only appropriate users are exposed to proprietary material
  • Ability for franchisees and franchisors to track participation, including completion and testing for comprehension;
  • Instantaneous and automatic updates so that every franchisee will have the latest training programs and information
  • Training material can easily be linked and written for the readers’ knowledge level, and localized such as multi-lingual
