RobotLAB: Revolutionizing Robotics Integration Through Franchising

RobotLAB, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a pioneering robotics integrator specializing in AI-driven automation solutions. In 2023, the company launched the world’s first robotics integration franchise program, expanding its reach across nearly 40 U.S. states.

The franchise model offers entrepreneurs exclusive territorial rights to market, sell, deploy, and service robots in various industries, including education, hospitality, healthcare, and logistics.

What sets RobotLAB apart is its end-to-end service model, encompassing sales, tailored programming, and on-site integration. This approach positions RobotLAB as the only robotics and AI franchise in the market, offering a scalable and future-proof business opportunity.

Training

RobotLAB provides a detailed and phased training program for its franchisees to ensure operational and technical readiness. Here are the key components of the training provided by the franchisor:

1. New Franchisee Orientation Training (NFOT) – Business Fundamentals: This is the first phase and includes both online and self-directed instruction. Topics covered include business planning, inventory management, marketing, sales training, and point-of-sale systems. Attendance is mandatory before opening the franchise.
2. New Franchisee Orientation Training (NFOT) – Technical Product Training: This second phase focuses on training related to the robots and technology products offered. The training has three levels:
   • Level 1: ~4 hours per robot
   • Level 2: ~50 hours per robot
   • Level 3: ~130 hours per robot
     Successful completion of at least Level 2 is required to operate the business.
3. Pre-Opening and Grand Opening Support: Franchisor provides pre-opening assistance and on-site support around the time of the grand opening to help with business setup and early operations.
4. Additional or Replacement Personnel Training: Training is available for new or replacement staff. While the first four participants attend at no additional charge, any extra personnel must be approved based on training session availability.

Territory Protection

RobotLAB grants its franchisees a “Protected Territory,” which is a mutually agreed-upon area defined by zip codes or geographic markers. Within this territory, no other RobotLAB franchises or company-owned locations will be established.

Franchisees may deliver goods and services only within this assigned area unless otherwise approved. However, RobotLAB does not offer exclusive territorial rights.

The franchisor reserves the right to sell products and services under different trademarks, open company-owned or affiliate locations outside of the Protected Territory, and use alternative distribution channels like the internet or catalog sales.
