Former franchisee here. In my experience, the RobotLAB franchise was not financially viable for me, and I never saw a consistently proven, profitable model at the unit level. RobotLAB even tried opera...

Lack of support and/or systems. Fees of 11-12% of Gross when all that is provided is a logo, a crm, and a call booking center. Owners struggling to grow due to a lack of marketing. An ad fund that is ...

Poor support, dismissive culture. Not ideal for boarding business—explore better options elsewhere.

They’ve made my dreams come true. Didn’t think i could achieve the things I have in such a short span of time. The consistency they’ve shown from day 1 has been vital to my success and always pushing ...

This franchise is very expensive to start up, very expensive to market, and provides little to no value in return for your money. It is an unknown name and it is not worth your effort to help them bui...

Terrible franchise. I’ve been part of the system for 15 years. In the beginning, the support was strong and the culture was solid. However, over the past 5–7 years, nearly the entire support team has ...

Happy with the team so far. Great leadership and corporate team. Marketing team is very valuable. Not without some bumps in the beginning but I'm guessing that's common in all new businesses. Overall ...
