Who is COGO?

COGO exists to remove failure from the franchise opening process. From certificate of occupancy to grand opening, COGO operates as a single execution partner once a lease is signed and remains in control through the first day of service. The focus is not advice or fragmented oversight. It is the command of the points where openings break down, including construction coordination, permitting, utilities, equipment, staffing systems, and launch readiness.

COGO functions in the space where franchisor standards meet real conditions, closing gaps caused by miscommunication, vendor drift, and unmanaged timelines. The result is an opening built on sequence, accountability, and cost control rather than reaction and trial.

Every service COGO provides is engineered to work as part of one connected system. Opening checklists are designed to reflect brand guidelines, local regulations, and actual lead times. Utilities, inspections, kitchen layout, equipment sourcing, signage, FF&E, payroll, scheduling, and pre-opening preparation are aligned with construction reality rather than theory.

Vendor negotiations are handled to protect timing and pricing. On-site visits resolve issues before they compound. Grand openings are structured to support operations, not overwhelm them. COGO delivers predictability in a process that usually relies on guesswork, giving franchisees a clear path to opening on time and on budget.
