From assigned to done — in one workflow.
Pick a mission
Choose from the weekly list or franchisor-pinned plays. Each one comes wired to a playbook.
Walk through it
Step by step: what to do, what to send, who to contact, what to capture.
Coaches see live progress
Step-level tracking means coaching is targeted — not 'how's it going?', but 'try this on step 3'.
Built for the way franchises actually work.
Never wonder 'what now?'
Every step is laid out — the next action is always one click away.
Localized for every market
Playbooks aren't one-size-fits-all PDFs. Each one provides guidance tailored to the location's market, season, and operating context.
Pause and resume
Owners can pick up exactly where they left off without re-reading anything.
What are Playbooks?
The executable companion to every mission — the exact steps, guidance, and touchpoints a location needs to run a play successfully.
What is a playbook?
A step-by-step guide tied to a mission. It breaks down the right order, the right guidance at the right step, and the right things to capture along the way — so owners are never staring at a blank page.
How many steps does a typical playbook have?
Most are 4–8 steps. Long enough to be genuinely useful, short enough for a franchisee to complete in a single working session without losing momentum.
Are playbooks the same for every market?
The steps are consistent network-wide, but the guidance inside each step is localized to the location's market, season, partners, and operating context — so it feels relevant on the ground.
Can the franchisor edit playbooks?
Yes. Franchisor administrators can edit any playbook and roll changes out network-wide, or co-author brand-specific plays for high-impact moments unique to your business.
Where do playbooks come from?
GlowLocal ships with a curated playbook library by vertical, updated continuously. Your team can add or adapt playbooks on top of the library at any time.
How do coaches use playbooks?
Coaches see step-level progress across their territory. Instead of 'how's it going?', they can jump into 1:1s with context — 'I see you're stuck on step 3, here's what top performers did next.'
What happens when a franchisee pauses?
State is saved automatically. Owners resume exactly where they left off — no re-reading, no lost context — so real-life interruptions don't kill a play.
Why is this different from a PDF guide?
PDFs live in drives and inboxes and get ignored. Playbooks live inside the same workflow franchisees already use to complete missions — with tracking, localization, and coaching built in.
