Fluent in franchise

The questions you used to dread.
From document to dialogue
Your sharpest associate, always at the document.
Ask Dale sits beside whatever you are working on in Dale: a review, a brand's FDD, a table of the market, or a draft in Word. It does not hand you a list and walk away. It stays in the conversation, follows your line of thinking, and brings the receipts every time.
The result feels less like running software and more like having the one person on your team who has already read the whole thing, twice.
Brings the receipts
Every answer carries its proof.
FAQs
What is Ask Dale?
Ask Dale is the assistant built into every Dale product. It opens in a side panel next to whatever you are working on, whether that is an FDD, a review, a table of brands, or a document in Word, and lets you ask about it in plain language. Answers cite the page they came from and the regulation that applies.
Is Ask Dale sold separately?
No. It comes with every Dale product.

Whatever you would ask a colleague looking at the same screen. "List every fee in Item 6." "Why was this flagged?" "What is the average royalty for these brands?" "Rewrite this paragraph to disclose the new fee."
Does every answer show where it came from?
Yes. Every answer cites the page in the FDD and the regulation it relies on, such as a section of the FTC Franchise Rule or the NASAA Guidelines.
