Comprehensive Onboarding at ServiceMaster Restore
At ServiceMaster Restore, we understand that the onboarding process can be overwhelming, which is why we’ve developed a comprehensive and streamlined approach to help our new franchise partners get up and running as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Step 1: Franchise Agreement Review
The first step in the onboarding process is the franchise agreement review.
This document provides detailed information about the franchise opportunity, including the franchise agreement and other important disclosures.
Our franchise support centre is available to answer any questions you may have and help you understand the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement.
Step 2: Territory Design
Once you’ve decided to move forward with the franchise opportunity, the next step is territory design.
Our franchise team will work with you to identify potential territories for your franchise based on factors like demographics and accessibility.
Step 3: Initial Training and Onboarding
With your territory designated, the next phase of the onboarding process is initial training and onboarding.
This typically involves a combination of classroom and/or virtual modules and hands-on training at our franchise support centre.
During this time, you’ll learn everything you need to know about our equipment, technical support, brand, and customer service protocols.
Step 4: Preparing for Your Grand Opening
As you prepare to open your franchise, our team will be there to support you every step of the way.
We’ll provide guidance on hiring and developing your team of technicians, setting up your equipment and and developing your local marketing strategy.
We’ll also work with you to plan your opening day, providing promotional materials, marketing templates, and other resources to help you make a splash in your local market.
Ongoing Support for Continued Success
Of course, our support doesn’t end once your franchise is up and running.
We provide ongoing training and development opportunities, regular check-ins and performance reviews, and a range of tools and resources to help you optimise your business and achieve your goals over the long term.

Investing in a franchise is a big decision, but with our comprehensive onboarding process and ongoing support, you can feel confident in your choice.
