Open QSR Locations Faster and Hold the Build Quality

For a quick service brand opening dozens of restaurants a year, RolloutIQ™ keeps every site in one pipeline, from a planned location to an open store, on a map or in a table filtered by region and market. Each project starts from its prototype's schedule template. Analytics shows which openings were retargeted and by how many days, so the development team can see where the pipeline keeps slipping.

Most QSR franchisors review the site plan and construction drawings, then walk the restaurant before it opens. A franchisee using RolloutIQ™ writes each of those reviews into the prototype template as a milestone with an owner, and the opening-date deliverable can depend on the final one. If the franchisor takes an extra week on plan review, the effect on the opening date appears on the schedule.

Development agreements commit a franchisee to open a set number of restaurants by set dates. RolloutIQ™ holds each committed site's deadline in a custom field on the project, and an Analytics grid sets it beside the planned opening, so a site at risk of missing its date is visible early. Signed sites can go in as locations before the lease is done and be cancelled if the deal falls through.

Each restaurant in a reimage wave gets its own remodel project in RolloutIQ™, started from the new image's schedule template, with its budget approved before work starts. The closing punch walk uses pass or fail criteria and can require a closure photo on every item, and a walk with open critical items cannot be completed. Brand teams review the finished standard from those photos before signing off a store.

Yes, once the Smartsheet integration is enabled for your organization. The franchisee's scheduler keeps editing dates in the sheet, and RolloutIQ™ syncs the project's schedule from it without ever writing back, which leaves the schedule read-only in RolloutIQ while the sheet is connected. Your team can still attach files to the project and hand deliverables to new owners there.
