Pricing
Priced by stage and scope.
A concept that hasn't opened and a group preparing to franchise need different things, so they don't pay the same way. Every engagement is scoped and quoted after a first call, once we understand where the business is today and where you want it to be.
How we work together
Four ways to work with us.
Most engagements fit one of these. Some start as a project and move to monthly advisory once the foundation is in place.
Project
A defined scope with a defined finish line.
Project + advisory
Build the foundation, then stay close while it takes hold.
Monthly advisory
An ongoing seat at the table, sized to the month.
Executive partnership
Fractional COO or CEO for brands operating at scale or raising capital.

Questions
Good to know before we talk.
How is pricing set?
By stage and scope. We quote after a first call, once we understand where the business is, what it needs and how long the work will take. You get a written scope with deliverables, timeline and fee before any work begins.
What happens on the first call?
We talk through where the business is today, where you want it to go and what is getting in the way. If it's a fit, we follow up with a written scope. If it isn't, we'll say so and point you to someone who is.
Can we start small?
Yes. Many engagements start with a single project, like a concept build or an operational audit. If it makes sense to keep going, we move to monthly advisory from there.
How long does an engagement last?
It depends on the shape of the work. A project ends when the agreed scope is delivered. Monthly advisory and executive partnerships continue for as long as they are useful to the business. The timeline is set in the written scope before we start.
What do we keep at the end?
Everything. Playbooks, SOPs, specs, financial models and reporting are documented and handed to your leadership team. The systems belong to you, and your team can run them without us.
Do you hire staff or run locations?
No. We build the systems and your team runs them. We don't hire or onboard staff, manage locations or run day-to-day operations.
What kinds of businesses do you work with?
Restaurant, beverage, wellness and hospitality technology businesses, from a concept that hasn't opened to a multi-unit group raising capital for growth.
Do you handle franchise legal filings?
No. We build the operating documents franchise counsel needs and help you find the right firm. The filings stay with the attorneys.
