Managing Franchisee Turnover

Growing a franchise brand is one of the most challenging—and rewarding—journeys in business. It requires far more than a great concept or early momentum. Sustainable franchise growth depends on systems, strategy, visibility, and alignment across marketing, sales, and operations. The Franchise Growth Playbook was created to give franchisors clear, practical, and experience-driven guidance at every stage of expansion—from emerging brands finding their footing to established systems preparing for their next phase of growth. Each guide is designed to help you think like a disciplined, scalable franchise brand—not just an ambitious one.

Address operational, training, and communication gaps that contribute to frustration.

Step 3: Provide Mentorship and Coaching
Support franchisees with guidance to navigate early challenges.

Step 4: Foster Engagement and Community
Encourage peer networks, regular check-ins, and recognition programs.

Use franchisee input to improve systems, processes, and culture continuously.
