2.9M+ operator contacts. Two very different buyers, one label.
Franchise and multi-unit outreach splits into two audiences that get lumped together on every generic list: corporate franchise development teams recruiting new operators, and existing multi-unit operator groups buying tools and vendors for the units they already run. Ken qualifies each account against your ICP with AI and personalizes every email around unit count and role, on top of 2.9M+ restaurant and retail operator contacts, so you can target either audience precisely instead of blasting both with the same pitch.

Signals Ken can actually act on.
Franchise buying doesn't wait for a sales calendar. Ken acts on real engagement and scores real fit.
Multi-click intent on franchise disclosure and unit economics pages
An operator who clicks your deck or pricing link more than once is showing real interest. Ken flags it and can fire the next touch automatically or route the reply to you.
Re-engage quiet franchise buyers
A franchise director who engaged and then went quiet gets picked back up. Ken watches for clicks that stop and re-approaches with a different angle before the thread goes cold.
Sort franchise & multi-unit replies the moment they land
Every reply is classified the moment it lands - interested, not interested, or out of office - and routed or handled automatically, so real conversations reach you and the noise does not.
Qualified to unit count and model
'Franchise brand with 50-500 units currently awarding new franchises' or 'multi-unit operator with 5+ QSR locations' isn't a dropdown filter anywhere else. Ken's AI reads each company's site and scores it against your exact criteria.
Built for a two-sided sale.
Split franchisors from operators automatically.
“Franchise brand with 50-500 units in active growth mode” or “multi-unit operator with 5+ locations in QSR.” Ken's AI reads each company's site and location footprint and scores it against your ICP, not a single generic “restaurants” tag.
Run separate sequences for corporate and operators.
A franchise development director and an individual multi-unit operator buy on completely different timelines and criteria. Ken segments your list so each group gets messaging built for how it actually decides.
Verify addresses across a fragmented universe.
Franchise contacts range from Fortune 500 corporate teams to single-owner operator groups with minimal digital footprint and personal email domains. Ken verifies every address three times, filtering out 65% of risky or invalid contacts before you send.
From ICP to booked meetings.
Three steps. Nothing sends until you approve.

Review your campaign

Send and take the meetings
Approve and launch from your own inboxes, or from Ken inboxes on Ken AI. Replies get sentiment-tagged, positives reach you instantly, and meetings land on your calendar.
Frequently Asked Questions
What teams ask before running outbound for Franchise & Multi-Unit with Ken.
Ken Search covers 2.9M+ contacts across restaurant and retail operators inside Ken's database of 250M people and 24M companies. Slice them by seniority, unit count, industry, and AI-qualified fit.
Ken helps you find and reach the right corporate development contacts precisely, but the FTC Franchise Rule requires a Franchise Disclosure Document before any offer or sale discussion, and earnings claims to prospective franchisees must be sourced from the official FDD Item 19. That compliance step happens in your sales process, not in targeting - Ken gets you to the right conversation, not around the disclosure requirement.
A directory gives you a brand name and a unit count. Ken runs the whole engine: sourcing, triple email verification, AI qualification against your specific ICP, personalized copywriting, sending on managed infrastructure, and reply handling. You approve the campaign; Ken does the rest.
It works as the introduction that starts the relationship when the targeting is precise instead of a cold guess. Ken qualifies every account against your ICP with AI and personalizes from real company data, and clients see 7x more meetings per 10k contacts than the industry average.
