Your Role as a Franchise Owner
Here’s a simple overview of the key responsibilities you’ll take on as a King of Pops franchisee—from running your cart and building community to managing systems and leading your team. This is what it looks like to grow your own successful pop business.
💨 Make it happen
You’re the driving force behind your business.
In the early days, you’ll do it all—selling pops, finding events, and building connections.
Our expectation is that your cart(s) are out and active at least five times a week.
As you grow, your role shifts from doing everything to building a team that can help.
🗂 Admin
Running a cart business means staying organized behind the scenes.
You’ll use HubSpot to track leads and manage deals.
You’re also responsible for:
• Sending invoices
• Logging expenses
• Filing taxes
• Managing permits and business licenses
• Keeping your finances and systems in order
It’s not the flashy stuff—but it’s what keeps everything working.
🌟 Build and motivate an amazing team
You can’t grow alone.
As your business expands, you’ll need help. That means hiring, training, and inspiring a team that represents your values and energy.
The better your team, the more you can grow.
📱 Manage your Social Media
Your cart is local—your story is shareable.
Use our shared Canva templates and media assets to post regularly and promote your cart(s).
