# Running a Franchise: Operations Guides

Guides to operating a franchise after launch: the performance metrics that matter, day-to-day management, and scaling to multi-unit franchise ownership.

Operations guides for owners: performance metrics, day-to-day management, and multi-unit scaling. Written guides for owners who have already signed, and for buyers who want to know what they are signing up for. These cover reading the performance metrics that actually predict a unit's trajectory, moving from hands-on execution to systems-led management, and how to judge whether a second unit is genuinely earned or merely available. This section is newer and smaller than the rest of the LearnHub and is actively being expanded.
