We replaced our own franchise software stack. Then we offered it to you.
LAUNCH POST · 2026
Our family operates thirty franchise stores. For years our software stack looked like this:
- Homebase for time and attendance - Jolt for line checks and audits - VantagePoint for some of the L10 reporting - Four spreadsheets the area manager rebuilt every Monday - A Slack channel where alerts went to die
Nothing talked to anything else. The wallboard was a printout. The schedule got rebuilt manually every week. The audit photos lived in someone's iCloud. The weekly scorecard was a calendar reminder and a Google Doc that nobody loved.
So we built our own. Internally. For one operator.
Manifest is that internal tool, productized.
Manifest is what we kept: the store walk itself. Every finding gets a tag — clean, ops, cash, training, or safety — a typed note, an optional count, and a photo when the note is not enough. Checklists you schedule once come due on their own days and export as a PDF when a run is finished; findings that need follow-up become corrective actions; an L10-style scorecard says what is on track and what is not. Today's count and a seven-day trend sit on the home screen, with History, Calendar, and Insights behind them, and everything exports as CSV.
It logs from the floor: Siri, the home-screen widgets, or the Apple Watch, with one optional daily reminder.
Manifest is free to download, with one checklist template free forever. Manifest Pro — unlimited checklists, CSV export, PDF audit reports — is $79.99/month or $799.99/year, with a 1-week free trial.
We didn't build this to compete with Homebase or Jolt. We built it because we were one of their customers and we wanted out.
If you walk stores and your findings live in texts and memory, book a thirty-minute demo and we'll show you the log working on a seeded day.
