About Chip Cookies
Chip Cookies is building the most-loved warm cookie experience in America. We franchise with intention—prioritizing product quality, memorable service, and a clean, simple operating model. Your job is to help franchisees win the right way.
The Role
The Franchise Business Consultant (FBC) is the front‑line partner to our franchise owners. You'll coach operations, elevate the guest experience, support openings, and connect franchisees to the right resources so their teams can thrive. You advise and equip independent owners; they run their day‑to‑day.
How We Work with Franchisees
· Franchisees are independent business owners; you influence through coaching, training, and clear standards.
· You provide guidance on Chip systems and tools; franchisees decide how they implement with their teams.
· You coordinate with internal partners and approved suppliers to unblock issues; franchisees execute ordering and daily operations.
