     About the Opportunity
    Are you passionate about helping entrepreneurs succeed? Do you thrive in a fast-paced, growth-oriented environment where your work directly shapes the future of a brand? We are an exciting, emerging franchise concept on a rapid growth trajectory — and we're looking for a driven Franchise Business Consultant (FBC) to help us take it to the next level.
    This is a rare chance to get in early with a brand that is building momentum, opening new locations across the country, and committed to increasing company-wide Average Unit Volume (AUV). You won't just be consulting — you'll be helping shape the systems, culture, and success stories that define our franchise network for years to come.
    Role Summary
    The Franchise Business Consultant serves as the primary point of contact between the franchisor and its franchisee network. You will build strong, trusted relationships with franchisees, drive operational excellence, support new store development, and help each location reach its full sales and profitability potential.

    Growth & Strategy
    •         Actively participate in brand growth initiatives, contributing insights from the field to support strategic decisions
    Identify and help develop top-performing franchisees as candidates for multi-unit growth
    •         Represent the brand with professionalism and enthusiasm at franchise events, conferences, and discovery days
    Qualifications
    Required
    Minimum 3–5 years of experience in franchising, either as a Franchise Business Consultant, field operations role, or similar capacity

    •         Solid understanding of restaurant/food service operations and P&L management
