Consistent training across every location.
From one platform.
Udutu helps franchise systems and retail chains build, deliver, and track training across hundreds of locations — without losing brand consistency or head office visibility. We build it. We host it. We support it.
Training 10 locations is manageable.
Training 100 is a different problem entirely.
Franchise and retail chains face training challenges that generic LMS platforms weren't designed to solve. If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.
Every location does training differently
PDFs, printed manuals, YouTube links — each manager handles onboarding their own way. Brand standards drift. Quality varies. Head office has no visibility.
Compliance tracking is a spreadsheet
Food handling, alcohol service certification, WHMIS — someone is manually tracking who completed what across dozens of locations. Audits are stressful.
High turnover means constant re-training
Retail and franchise staff turnover is high. Every new hire needs onboarding fast. Without a system, managers spend hours on training instead of running the location.
You don't have a dedicated L&D team
You need training built, not just software to run it yourself. Most franchise groups don't have instructional designers on staff — and shouldn't have to.
How Godfather's Pizza trains 600 franchise locations from one platform
Godfather's Pizza needed a way to deliver consistent training across 600 independently run franchise locations — with each location maintaining its own learning environment while head office retained full control and visibility over content, compliance, and engagement.
Udutu built a multi-tenant LMS environment giving each franchise its own independent portal with Godfather's content pre-loaded and the ability to add local resources if needed. The Control Center gives corporate a live view of engagement and completion across the entire network — by location, by learner, or company-wide.
The Udutu team didn't just build the platform. They've been an ongoing partner — supporting course development, modernizing content as the business evolves, and developing new tools based on GPI's specific requests.
- 600 franchise locations, each with their own independent LMS portal
- Central content control — all GPI courses maintained from one hub
- Individual and network-wide engagement tracking from the Control Center
- Ongoing course development — onboarding, management upskilling, compliance
- Continued partnership — regular meetings with dedicated Udutu team members
Consulting first. Technology second.
Most LMS vendors hand you software and wish you luck. Udutu works alongside you — from diagnosing the training gap to building the content, configuring the platform, and measuring what changes.

Working with Jennifer on this project was a dream. She was fast to respond and met every deadline. She was able to build upon existing course content and implement new content seamlessly. I know who I will be calling for my next course!Dom Ohl Program Coordinator · VIATEC
What also made this course land well was how dynamic it was — with audio, music transitions, animations, interactions, and flow control. You were very agile and the process was seamless and well communicated from start to finish.Ryan Galitskie VP Regional Sales Manager · Bank Newport
