AI & MCP
Franchise FDD intelligence inside ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor.
FranCloud is the franchise sales-intelligence platform software vendors connect to AI tools to rank accounts from FDD filings, read mandated tech, and pull filing-backed signals without leaving the chat.
Not franchise management software. Not affiliated with FranConnect. Not a franchise-buyer research tool. Built for vendors selling POS, payroll, marketing, payments, and other software into US franchise systems.

Example prompts vendors actually run
Once connected, ask in plain English. Your AI should call FranCloud tools for filing-backed answers, not guess from generic web memory.
“Which QSR brands leave POS procurement open versus mandating a POS?”
“Rank US fitness franchises for a labor-scheduling SaaS and explain the fit signals from the filings.”
“What technology does Jersey Mike's mandate, and who typically owns the software decision at HQ?”
“Find multi-unit-heavy home-services brands with no mandated back-office stack.”
“Which brands refiled with a tech vendor change, and what category moved?”
“Build a shortlist of franchise targets for an online-ordering platform and draft an opener from filing facts.”
