Driverseat

We're building the largest passenger transportation franchise in the world. Driverseat provides incredible opportunities for aspiring business owners to build a super scalable business that is designed to work in every community, rural or urban. 

My vision for the future is to build a company founded on transparency, authenticity and prosperity. Our renewed mission statement is "To create incredible opportunities and epic lives." 
We're refocusing and renewing our foundation to reflect what we've learned over the years as well as where we want to be in the future. 

Leveraging the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), we'll evolve from a founder led company to a systems led company. Processes will be simplified at every opportunity, technology will be leveraged to its greatest extent, data will drive our decisions and we'll solve business challenges with ease. Our team is and will continue to be the best in the industry, working toward a common vision.

Driverseat is North America's fastest growing transportation franchise. We offer shuttle services direct to consumer, to other businesses and to government agencies. Specializing in small group charters, Driverseat is your household name for all things transportation including airport ground transportation, wine and beer tours, wedding shuttles, corporate employee commuter shuttles, and microtransit solutions.

Driverseat is a passenger transportation franchise, which means that we move people for a living. 

But I'm not in the transportation business. I'm in the people business. Our mission is to create incredible opportunities and epic lives. Franchising gives you the opportunity to work autonomously with a proven system for making money, using a recipe that was developed by some smart people (namely… me in this case…)

Every day, I have the responsibility and privilege to direct the vision of our company, setting the course for years to come. I embrace servant leadership and believe that if people are going to spend more time in their work than they do with their family, they had better enjoy it. 

I love learning about people, and having the deeper conversations. I reject rhetoric and posturing. There are only so many hours in the day, and I want them to be filled with richness and realness. 

I guess I should add a bit about myself…

I have three young daughters, and I’m a very involved Dad. I have high expectations and want them to grow up to be strong, resilient and independent women who feel they can do whatever the heck they want with their lives. 

I love working with my hands - In 2019 I began a major overhaul on my house and have completely renovated it down to the wall studs… every room…

I’m extremely passionate about coaching others, which makes my role as franchisor a perfect fit for me. Every day, I work with entrepreneurs to help them grow their business. 

I love music and play the guitar. I’ve been dabbling with piano a bit and think it might be my next project. 

I’m great at sales, because I’ve never felt like I was selling anything. I present opportunities to people who need what I have, and partner with those who will fully invest in themselves and the brand.

I work with franchisors and multi-unit establishments who are tired of guessing—and ready to run their business on real performance data.
After 30+ years in franchising, I’ve seen the same challenge over and over again:
brands grow fast… but lack visibility into what’s actually driving unit-level success.
That’s where I come in.
As Head of Growth at Fran Metrics, I help franchise systems:
• Benchmark performance across locations
• Identify top vs. underperforming units
• Track the KPIs that actually drive profitability
• Turn data into clear, actionable decisions
Now with Fran AI, we’re taking it even further—helping brands instantly surface insights, trends, and opportunities across their entire system. Previously, as Co-Founder and Vice President of Business Solutions at ZeeProbe LLC, I contributed to the development of custom dashboards  for franchise systems, showcasing a deep understanding of franchise operations and support.

#IFA2026 was one for the books!! 

Grateful to be there in my new role with Fran Metrics 📈📊📈—especially as we introduced AI-driven insights. It is an exciting new chapter and an even bigger opportunity to engage with a franchise community I truly love.

Reconnecting with colleagues and friends I’ve known (and learned from) for years—while also making new friends is always special to me. 

The new exhibit hall layout (and the energy from DJ Desire🎧🎧💿💿!) brought a whole new vibe this year.

A personal highlight was facilitating my thought leadership roundtable on key drivers of the business which is so critical for driving unit level profitability. 📊📊

Spazmatics rocked it 🎼🎼💥💥..love them!! and the puppies were just adorable!!🐶🐶

Already looking forward to building on these connections and seeing everyone again next year or another event!!

Helping franchisors unlock unit-level profitability with data, KPIs & AI /Head of Growth & Client Success @ Fran Metrics / Pickleball Enthusiast and Coach

I am really excited to share that my article was published in QSR Magazine, one of the most respected publications in the restaurant industry.

In the article, I dive into something we at Fran Metrics are incredibly passionate about:

 -How AI-driven KPI visibility is transforming franchise coaching and operations across restaurant, QSR, and fast-casual brands.
-For many franchisors, the challenge today isn’t a lack of data, It’s turning that data into actionable insights that actually improve unit-level profitability.

A few key takeaways from the article:

• Franchise coaching is shifting from reactive to proactive, with AI helping   identify issues before they become operational problems.
• Field coaches become dramatically more effective when they walk into franchisee conversations with real performance insights instead of spreadsheets.
• Visibility across locations matters more than ever as brands work to manage labor costs, protect margins, and maintain consistency across the system.

Restaurant and franchise brands are under more pressure than ever to balance growth with profitability, and the ability to quickly see what’s happening at the unit level is becoming a major competitive advantage.

Would love to hear from others in the restaurant and franchise space:

How AI-Driven KPI Visibility is Changing Franchise Coaching and Operations for Restaurants

I am very excited to share that my article on AI, KPIs, and proactive franchise performance is now live in Franchise Magazine USA — especially timely with IFA 2026 around the corner.

The piece explores how franchise systems should be moving from reactive reporting to proactive coaching using benchmarking, leading indicators, and AI-driven insights.
One of my favorite reactions to seeing FRAN AI in action came from Barbara Nuss, CPA Nuss at Profit Soup:

"Thanks for the demo of your AI feature Prit Sen and Jason West McReynolds CFE . It truly is impressive. I love the fact that you can ask for priority financial issues based on history. But more impressive than looking at the past is how you can establish a vision for profitable growth for the future! With the right prompts this thing is amazing"!

Grateful to Franchise Magazine USA for publishing the article and helping share these ideas with the franchise community.
