Questions
Answers to common concerns from operators evaluating FranchiseSOP.
Why pay $99/mo when I can use free tools?
Free tools don't generate SOPs—they store them. FranchiseSOP's AI pipeline (Whisper + GPT-4) transforms a 15-minute voice recording into a structured, version-controlled document. After 3 months, operators average 40+ documented processes without touching a keyboard. Time savings alone typically exceed 8 hours per location. Compare that to the 20+ hours manual documentation would require.
Is $199/mo justified for a single location?
The math is simple: one consultant engagement at $400/hr for standard SOP documentation runs $1,600-$4,800. Pro pays for itself in week one if you document more than 4 processes. Most operators hit 20+ documented procedures in month one. If your location has onboarding, safety protocols, or service standards—every franchise operation does—you're already money ahead before the trial ends.
Will this conflict with my franchise agreement?
FranchiseSOP generates reference documentation—operating procedures, training materials, compliance logs—owned entirely by the franchisee. Your franchisor owns your franchise system manual; you own your location-level operations documentation. We're not a substitute for required franchise materials, and we recommend reviewing with your legal counsel. But 83% of franchise agreements explicitly encourage operators to maintain their own SOPs for consistency across shifts and personnel.
What if I manage 10+ locations?
Enterprise scales with per-location pricing, meaning your cost grows linearly with your operation—not exponentially. At 10 locations, you're paying $4,990/mo, which still undercuts a single consultant engagement. Enterprise includes unlimited team seats, API access for custom integrations, and dedicated onboarding so your management team adopts the platform in days, not weeks.
How does support work if I hit a technical issue?
All plans include email support with 24-hour response times during business days. Pro adds in-app chat for faster resolution. Enterprise includes a dedicated Slack channel with your account manager and guaranteed 4-hour response SLA. We maintain a community forum with 200+ template contributions from active franchise operators—many questions get answered same-day by the community, not just our team.
What happens to my documents if I cancel?
You retain full ownership and export rights for all documents at any time. Cancel before your billing period ends, and you keep access through the end of that period. Download your SOPs as PDF, Word, or plain text before cancellation—no data lock-in. After cancellation, we retain documents for 90 days in read-only mode before permanent deletion. Restart anytime and pick up where you left off.
