Chip N Dip

With over 20 years in the restaurant market and a footprint of mobile trailers, fixed-location stores, and event-based setups, Chip 'n Dip needed a scalable, consistent way to maintain brand standards, ensure equipment compliance, and manage franchisee accountability — all without drowning in paperwork.

The Solution: AssetPool’s Digital Inspection Platform

Chip 'n Dip’s head office (franchisor) now uses AssetPool to manage a full inspection program for all franchisee-run units. These include:

• Fixed-location stores

• Mobile trailers and food trucks

• Event gazebos and temporary setups

• Support vehicles

Each franchise site is treated as its own asset, and each zone represents a unique mobile trailer or unit. AssetPool enables them to:

• Run spot checks and random inspections using their Verification Coordinator, who assesses brand look, operations, and health compliance across the country.

• Maintain control using checklists tailored for franchise operations:

  • Front of House

  • Back of House

  • Health & Safety

  • Hygiene

  • Team Presentation

  • Customer Experience

  • Product & Storage

• Track compliance-critical items like tongs, fryers, uniforms, and branding to ensure all units are up to standard.

Asset Tracking Without QR Codes

Instead of relying on QR codes, Chip 'n Dip leverages AssetPool’s barcode-less scanning and search functionality — using register numbers or store identifiers to quickly locate and track equipment across sites. This reduces friction for mobile setups and helps ensure that asset data is always accessible during inspections.

Smart Notifications for Smarter Management

Franchise owners and head office teams use automated notifications to stay in control:

• Daily failure summaries: “Send a daily report listing all inspections that failed in any of my sites.”

• Upcoming equipment compliance alerts: “Send me a list of equipment documents that expire in 30 days.”

This ensures nothing slips through the cracks — and that corrective action can be taken quickly, every time.

The Results

Since onboarding with AssetPool, Chip 'n Dip has:

• Eliminated paper-based inspections

• Standardized franchisee compliance across diverse unit types

• Enabled real-time visibility into every location

• Improved communication between head office and franchisees
