Built to meet the unique needs of franchise operators, the app delivers a secure and scalable hub for onboarding, operations, training, and brand communications.

My focus was clarity and speed, turning complex workflows into clear, step-by-step guides that live in your pocket. One place for training, checklists, and communications helps each location launch faster, run tighter, and deliver a consistent client experience," said Stephanie Mader.

These outcomes build long-term value for both our franchise owners and our investors."

Hector Ocasio, Founder and CEO of App Beacon, added, "DapperTails leads with technology to separate themselves from competitors and position their franchisees for long-term success.
