How a LucyIQ franchise works
Lucy is the AI assistant your staff ask questions. Each location runs its own; head office holds the manual they all answer from. Here is one day across a network.
Franchises live and die by consistency. LucyIQ turns your manual into an agent every location shares.
No drift, no folklore, no “that’s how we do it here”.
Update the manual once. The next question, at every location, gets the new answer.
Staff stop interrupting managers. Managers stop interrupting you.
Your best manager can only be in one store at a time. Your manual can be in all of them — answering, correctly, at 7am on a Sunday.
Why franchisors choose LucyIQ
Every location's agent answering questions, saving your teams hours, and getting smarter together — measured, never guessed. Here's a live example for the US.
89% rated helpful, network-wide · 141 hrs of your teams' time saved
| # | Location | Time saved this month | 12-week trend | vs avg | Confidence | Status |
|---|
"vs avg" compares a location to your network average; the trend line is its weekly answers over 12 weeks; confidence is the share of answers visitors rated helpful. Every figure comes from usage — the only thing LucyIQ measures. Estimated time saved is deliberately conservative.
Trained on a sample manual for a fictional coffee franchise, Harbour Roast. Ask it how to open the store — then ask something that isn’t in the manual, and watch it go to head office instead of guessing.
Try: “How do I open the store?” · “How do I make a flat white?” · “Can I get a staff discount on my day off?”

Our AI franchise assistant answers from the LucyIQ franchise, sales and support knowledge — instantly, any time. Tell it about your network and it will point you the right way.
One checkout, one card. Minimum three locations; add more any time.
A name and an owner’s email — or a spreadsheet. Each location is live instantly, with its own agent. The owner gets a one-click sign-in link in your brand’s name. No password to set.
Upload your documents. Every location answers from them in seconds. Local details always win over the manual.
Hours and local details to them. Your brand stays yours. Franchisees never see a price or a checkout.
Head office sees what the network asks and what the manual doesn’t cover yet — never a location’s individual conversations. It can see who has signed in and how often each person asks, never what they asked.
A location that leaves keeps its own local information. Their content is theirs; your manual stays yours.
Each location sees only its own information plus your manual — never another location, never another brand. Your manual is answered to signed-in staff only, never to customers on a public chat, unless you mark an assistant as safe for customers.
Your manual becomes an expert every location can ask. Staff get the answer instead of phoning a manager or head office — the same right answer in every location.
No. It answers only from your manual and each location’s own information. If something isn’t covered, it says so and sends the question to head office.
Only your network. No location sees another’s, nothing is shared with other businesses or used to train public AI, and head office sees patterns, never a location’s conversations.
You do — one subscription, one card. Franchisees never see a checkout or a price. Per-location statements let you recover costs if you choose to.
Yes. Lock the look and tone to your brand; hand over what’s local, like hours. Anything you lock, a location can only request.
Yes. One tick makes someone your head office administrator: they run locations, the manual, escalations and the team. They can add locations and capacity, which changes what you pay. The card, the invoices and ending the plan stay with you.
A franchisee who owns more than one location moves between them from one menu. If a location is sold, head office changes its owner in one step, and the location keeps its knowledge, team and allowance.
Upload them or email them: head office and every location can email documents straight into their assistant’s knowledge. A location’s assistants can share each other’s documents, and staff material is never served to customers. All included.
Post an update and ask every location to confirm they have seen it. You see who has and who has not, and can remind the rest.
Head office can add extra capacity for every location in one click. It is charged to the card on file.
Your locations keep working through the grace period, and everything is restored the moment you pay.
No long lock-in. Add or remove locations any time from the console — growth is prorated and a reduction takes effect at the end of the term. Because every location is its own independent site with its own local knowledge base, a location that leaves keeps that local knowledge; only its access to your shared manual ends when you remove it. Your content stays yours, theirs stays theirs.
We’ll build a working demo on your own manual — free, no sign-up. Then start with three locations and add more any time.
