The problem
Every franchise vendor now claims to have AI. Almost none of those claims are checked. Operators buy on a demo and a deck, and the industry has no shared record of what is actually deployed and working.
What it does about it
FranPulse is the paper of record for AI in franchising. It scores adoption across the largest systems on a published benchmark, and it runs every notable vendor claim through a documented check before filing it.

We read applications all year round. There is no batch to wait for and no deadline to miss.
Applications open year-round
You cannot open physical stores in batches. Every unit needs its own lease, build-out and team — so we take ventures on one at a time, and start each one when it is ready.
We answer every submission ourselves, usually inside two weeks.
