Survey

Analyze

We analyze the responses from the franchisees and use a weighted scale to determine an overall Franchisee Satisfaction Index (FSI) rating for each franchise brand.

Score

The FSI score is used to benchmark each company’s franchisee satisfaction level against over 1,100 franchise brands to determine their ranking among other participating companies.

We identify the brands that exceed the benchmark and recognize them with a Top Franchise Award.
