The First Platform Built for Multi-Unit Franchise Complexity
Built by the team behind 60+ Zoom Room franchise locations. We built Franchise Anchor because we desperately needed it ourselves—software that actually understands how multi-unit franchises operate, not just single-location thinking multiplied.

Your Business Grew. Your Software Didn't.
Franchise operators face a unique challenge: the tools available either can't scale with multi-unit complexity or require enterprise-level investment and implementation timelines that don't fit growing franchise networks.
Manual Consolidation Hell
You're spending hours each week manually consolidating reports across 25, 50, or 100 locations. Spreadsheets everywhere, data accuracy questionable, insights delayed by days or weeks.
Single-Location Limitations
Tools like Mindbody and Square treat each location as a separate island. No system-wide intelligence, no cross-location insights, no unified customer view across your network.
Enterprise Overkill
Enterprise systems like SAP and Oracle cost millions and take years to implement. That's not realistic for franchises with 20-200 locations trying to maintain agility.
Four Things We Do Differently
Franchise Anchor was designed from the ground up to solve multi-unit complexity without the cost and bureaucracy of legacy systems. Here's what sets us apart.
Multi-Unit Intelligence Built In
Not bolted on as an afterthought. See performance patterns across your entire network instantly. Move staff and resources between locations seamlessly. Identify top performers and struggling units at a glance.
Smart Profile System
One parent, three kids, different schedules. Two pets, different services. The system understands relationships, not just individual records. Customer lifecycle intelligence that spans locations and time.
Franchise-Specific Flexibility
Lock what matters—brand standards, reporting requirements, compliance protocols. Unlock what doesn't—local scheduling preferences, pricing variations, service offerings. Same platform serves rigid QSR models and creative service franchises.
AI-First Architecture
Modern foundation built for AI from day one, not legacy code with AI features bolted on. Customer lifecycle automation that learns and optimizes across your network, getting smarter with every interaction.
Multi-Unit Intelligence You Can Actually Use
Traditional software forces you to log into each location separately or manually combine data in spreadsheets. Franchise Anchor gives you real-time visibility across your entire network from a single dashboard.
Identify trends before they become problems. See which locations are crushing it and which need support. Understand customer patterns that span multiple locations. Make data-driven decisions fast.
  • Real-time performance dashboards across all locations
  • Automated anomaly detection and alerts
  • Cross-location customer journey tracking
  • Resource optimization recommendations
Built by Franchise Operators Who Get It
We're Not Guessing At Your Problems
Mark Van Wye spent 20 years building Zoom Room Dog Training to 60+ locations across North America. Along the way, he tried every software solution on the market. None could handle the unique complexity of franchise operations.
The revelation was simple: software companies don't understand franchising. Single-location tools can't scale. Enterprise systems are overkill. So we built what we desperately needed—software designed by franchise operators, for franchise operators.
Currently in pilot with our Zoom Room network. Expanding to service franchises in fitness, child services, beauty, pet care, and personal services. Real operators testing in real businesses.
Smart Profiles That Understand Relationships
Your customers don't think in single transactions—they have ongoing relationships with your brand across multiple locations, family members, and service types. Your software should understand that too.
01
Relationship Intelligence
One customer profile connects parents, kids, pets, and preferences. The system knows the family dynamics and service history automatically.
02
Cross-Location Continuity
Customer moves? Visits multiple locations? Their entire history, preferences, and relationship data travels with them seamlessly.
03
Lifecycle Automation
Automated engagement based on where customers are in their journey—onboarding, active use, at-risk, win-back. Powered by AI that learns from your entire network.
Flexibility That Grows With Your Franchise
Lock What Matters
  • Brand standards and service protocols
  • Required reporting and compliance
  • Corporate pricing structures
  • Mandatory training and certifications
  • Legal and regulatory requirements
Ensure consistency where it counts. Corporate maintains control over critical brand elements while empowering local operators.
Unlock What Doesn't
  • Local scheduling preferences and hours
  • Service customization within guidelines
  • Promotional timing and tactics
  • Staffing models and compensation
  • Customer communication style
Give franchisees flexibility to adapt to their local market while staying within brand guardrails.
AI That Makes Sense for Franchises
Most software companies are retrofitting AI onto legacy platforms built 10-20 years ago. Franchise Anchor was architected from day one with AI at the core—not as a feature, but as the foundation.
Network Learning
AI learns from patterns across your entire franchise network, not just individual locations. Best practices identified and shared automatically.
Intelligent Automation
Customer lifecycle automation that adapts based on behavior, preferences, and network-wide patterns. Engagement that feels personal, scales automatically.
Continuous Optimization
System gets smarter with every interaction. Scheduling optimization, resource allocation, pricing recommendations—all powered by AI that understands your business model.

Franchise Brands Ready to Scale
