Stages your team defines. Score, files, and comments travel with the deal — kanban, table, and map on the same pipeline.
The Challenges You Face
- 01
Pipeline invisibility
No one knows where deals stand without asking 'where are we on that site?'
- 02
Can't hit the deal window
Committee cadences and broker deadlines dictate everything. Miss the window, lose the site.
- 03
Can't explain the number
Black box tools leave you unable to answer 'where did this score come from?'
- 04
Higher failure costs
A failed restaurant — build-out, equipment, 10-year lease — costs $1.2M+ before you serve a meal
- 05
Assembling, not analyzing
Your team spends more time pulling data than evaluating sites
The Cost of Inaction
$1.2M+
A failed restaurant location costs $1.2M+ in build-out, equipment, and lease obligations — before you serve a single meal. The cost of a bad site dwarfs everything else.

GrowthFactor shows you every site in the pipeline and helps you move them faster. Forecasts built on your restaurant performance — not generic retail models. Every score explainable, every recommendation committee-ready.
What You Get
The product, doing the job
Every site in one pipeline
From first search to signed lease, every candidate sits on one board — with its score, files, and comments attached. Know what's moving without asking around.
Scores you can defend
Five lenses, every input traced to source. When the committee asks why a corridor site scored 72, the answer is on the screen — including the visibility problem the drive-by missed.
Cannibalization before the LOI
A drive-time overlap check against every restaurant you already run. If a candidate would pull guests from an existing store, you see the number before the offer goes out.
Committee-ready output
One click to a PDF with the site map, score badge, forecast range, and a page per lens. No more deck assembly the night before committee.
GrowthFactor's AI-driven insights transformed our site selection process, allowing us to make fast, informed decisions.
