While your franchisees are getting their individual account set up, the HQ account will also need to be created and built out!

To get started, sign in with your BrandBot Email Address & Password. You should have been prompted to create this via email.

Then, navigate to your business name in the top-right and click Settings.

When a new team member is added to an HQ account, they will automatically have permission to access ALL of your Franchisee/Child accounts as well. For more help on how to add Team Members to your account, please refer to the article here.

In regards to the HQ site, only add team members that will need to create marketing initiatives at scale. This includes auto-campaigns and scheduled emails that are going to be pushed to and sent from all of the franchisee accounts. It is not recommended that individual franchisee owners/partners are added to the HQ site.

Mariana Tek clients have the option to set a required waiver in BrandBot. This waiver is hosted, distributed, submitted, and stored through BrandBot, but has the possibility to be marked as required, which results in a warning in MT when a BrandBot waiver is not submitted.

The waiver can be created and required at the HQ-level. Then, each franchisee account will have their own iteration of the waiver that is linked to the HQ waiver. Filling out a location-specific waiver will then count as filling out the HQ waiver.

Check out these articles to learn more about creating waivers at the HQ level, creating waivers at the franchisee level and how waivers integrate with Mariana Tek.
