Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I launch a branded app for my Square franchises?

Yes. Appfront builds a fully branded iOS and Android app for your franchise concept that connects all Square locations. Your brand, your logo, your colors, your loyalty program — all in one app that scales across your entire portfolio.

How do multi-location menus work in the app?

Each Square location has its menu pulled into the app in real time. Guests can select their preferred location, see that location's menu, pricing, and hours, and place orders. Inventory and availability sync automatically from Square.

How does loyalty work across multiple locations?

One loyalty account works across all franchise locations. Guests earn points on any order from any location. Franchisees build guest lifetime value, and you keep the data. Redemption rules and rewards are set by you, not a third party.

Can franchisees customize their location in the app?

Yes. The app has brand-wide consistency, but franchisees can customize location-specific details: hours, specials, location photos, and local promotions. Central admin controls brand assets, loyalty programs, and campaigns while franchisees manage their location.

What does "Appfront's engagement engine" mean?

Appfront's engagement engine is AI-powered marketing and retention: personalized push notifications, smart timing, guest behavior-triggered campaigns, loyalty rewards optimization, and reorder prompts. Built into your app to drive repeat visits and order frequency without paying for ads.

How long does it take to launch a multi-unit app?

Most franchise apps launch in 4-6 weeks. Appfront handles design, development, Square integration across all locations, app store submissions, and launch. We manage TestFlight testing, compliance, and app review workflows.
