Frequently asked questions
How is Delightree priced, and is there a per-seat fee?
Delightree does not publish list prices. Pricing is a flat rate per location rather than per seat, and every HQ and corporate seat is included, so adding people never adds cost. A quote depends on network size, which capabilities you turn on, how many roles and brands are in the system, and how much rollout support you need. Buyers scope it on a short call after submitting the form on the pricing page. Many networks start with the capabilities that solve their biggest gap and expand later.
How long until we are live and running the platform?
No fixed timeline is published. Every network gets white-glove onboarding: the vendor team handles setup, configuration, roles and permissions, loads your operating content with you, and builds a launch plan for your locations, with a named account manager staying on after launch. Budget roughly four to six weeks to first production value for a small network, and longer where large volumes of SOPs and training content have to be migrated.
Does Delightree replace our LMS, audit tool and task manager?
That is the stated intent: one login for every role, replacing the SOP folder, LMS, task manager, audit app and comms channel, and connecting them so audit findings become tasks, tasks can trigger retraining, and resolution is tracked to a verified fix. The modules cover knowledge base and SOPs, training and onboarding, tasks and checklists, audits and site visits, location launcher, communications, and dashboards and reporting.
What AI does Delightree provide, and can we control it?
AI Search answers frontline questions from your approved SOP content and shows the source. Delphi is permission-governed analytics that answers operational questions scoped to the asker's role and locations. Astra (early access) recommends actions from operating signals. Answers come only from admin-approved content and are scoped by role, permission and location, and recommended actions wait for a person to approve or edit. The privacy page states that Bedrock inputs and outputs are not used to train foundation models.
What security and compliance certifications does Delightree hold?
The security page states AWS hosting with data behind secured networks, SSL/TLS encryption in transit, Stripe-processed payments with no card numbers stored, regular vulnerability scanning, a 99.9% monthly availability target, a 24x7 emergency critical-issue line, and breach notification within seven business days. It does not claim SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or FedRAMP certification, so regulated buyers should request current evidence during due diligence.
Which franchise networks is Delightree built for?
Named verticals are food and beverage, health and fitness, beauty and wellness, home services, and senior care / regulated services, plus multi-brand PE-backed franchise groups, with pet services, entertainment and childcare / early education also listed. It is an operations-execution layer for HQ and the frontline, not a POS, payroll or accounting system, and it is not aimed at single-location independents.
