- Stores side by sideThe AI finds the strongest and weakest – without names.
- Audits read in minutesThe AI spots gaps in quality and hygiene reports.
- Fair treatmentEnding a franchise is always decided by people.

The example is simplified. In GoalCube you answer a few questions, and the classification follows fixed rules.
What the law says
Franchisees are often people
Many franchisees run personally owned companies. Names and figures can be personal data.
Article 4(1) GDPR
Franchisees' staff
Data about store staff is the franchisee's responsibility. Use only what your agreement entitles you to.
Articles 26 and 28 GDPR
Confidential figures
Store revenue and margins are trade secrets for both sides.
Trade Secrets Directive (EU) 2016/943
Short and simplified. GoalCube helps you follow the rules; it is not legal advice.
Your staff keep working. GoalCube keeps track of the rest.

Questions and answers
Can the franchisor use AI on franchisees' figures?
Yes, if the franchise agreement gives you access to them. Names and figures must be protected; with GoalCube the AI sees only codes.
Who is responsible for store staff data?
Usually the franchisee. If the franchisor uses data about them, responsibility needs to be agreed.
Can the AI recommend ending a franchise?
It can point out problems, but ending a franchise has a big impact and must be decided by people.
