GGB Free tool · Scale readiness
Could someone else run it in another city?
Readiness asks if you're ready. Transferability asks the harder question a franchisor underwrites: can a different operator reproduce this — margin, quality and identity intact — somewhere new? Score eight portability controls and find the gaps to close first. Confidential.
Not sure you're ready to franchise at all? Start with the Franchise Readiness tool, then pressure-test transferability here.
Transferability
No score until you answer.
Nothing is assumed about your operation — 8 controls still unanswered.
Method: a weighted multi-dimensional rubric over 8 controls, scored from your own Yes / Partly / No answers (no invented benchmarks). Each control carries an owner-reviewable weight; the score is the weighted share of controls in place. Indicative — a GGB review confirms it against your operation.
Before you type a number
What your readiness read looks like.
Eight portability controls scored from your own answers, the weakest named first, and the expansion consequence of leaving each gap — this is the shape of it:
Transfers with work
58/100
+ four more controls in the full read
Close first (sample)
Supply-chain portability — one market's suppliers, no approved-alternates list. Consequence of leaving it: every new territory renegotiates quality from zero.
Illustrative sample — hand-set values showing the output shape; your answers produce your read, on this device. Never a client's figures.
01
Can someone else run it elsewhere?
Not "are you ready to franchise" — the harder question: can a different operator run this in another city without losing margin, quality or identity?
02
What moves the needle
The one or two portability gaps that most limit expansion — highest-leverage first, scored across eight controls.
03
A sequenced plan
Each gap, the system to install, and the expansion consequence of leaving it — the diligence a franchisor runs before signing a territory.
Results, measured
We don't trade on logos. We show you the numbers.
One named, documented engagement — published with the client's consent — then the method we hold every engagement to. Other outcomes stay confidential until we walk you through them.

People buy the founder, not a logo. This is track record, not a client outcome — consented, checkable facts about the experience the work is led from, judged from the P&L, not the brochure.

The four axes we hold every engagement to
Diagnostic panel
Food cost %
Theoretical vs actual, by item and by outlet — usually the fastest margin to recover.
Labour vs sales
Productivity per shift measured against revenue, not a blanket headcount cut.
Delivery economics
Channel mix and menu pricing rebuilt around real aggregator commission.
Payback
Every intervention measured against the capital and the time it takes to return.
Questions
- How is this different from the Franchise Readiness tool?
- Readiness asks "are you ready to franchise?" — your appetite and the basics. Transferability asks the harder, investor question: "can someone else run this in another city or country without losing margin, quality or identity?" A brand can feel ready and still be untransferable — quality that lives in one chef's hands, supply that only exists in one market, unit economics no franchisee can predict. Run Readiness first, then pressure-test transferability here.
- Is this a checklist?
- No — it is a weighted rubric across eight portability controls, scored from your own answers, surfacing the highest-leverage gaps and a sequenced plan with the consequence of each. No invented benchmarks, no outcome promises.
- Does GGB help close the gaps?
- Yes. GGB builds documented, investable franchise systems — recipe and training documentation, QC enforcement, portable supply, a model franchisee P&L and the legal/IP layer — so the concept actually travels. Founder-led, across the GCC, India and Singapore.
