Clear answers. Honest boundaries.
Public answers for Property Owners, Franchise Candidates, Funding Partners, Investors and delivery partners across Coffee, Retail, Gym and Clubs.
CRAYS Franchise
Which CRAYS Franchise opportunities are covered?
How CRAYS works
CRAYS Franchise covers Coffee, Retail, Gym and Clubs. They share one CRAYS evidence and governance context, but each Venture and Format keeps its own property pattern, operating model, customer proposition and qualification questions.
Learn moreWhat does 100% data-driven mean at CRAYS?
How CRAYS works
It is an operating principle: decisions are designed to use connected, traceable evidence from approved internal and external sources. It is not a promise that every input is complete, error-free, public, real-time or automatically decisive.
Learn moreDo the four Ventures keep their own customer experiences?
Planned — not available yet
Yes. Coffee, Retail, Gym and Clubs retain Venture-specific customer journeys and capability packs. CRAYS.pro leads Franchise acquisition and the approved shared B2B, Login, Portal and SaaS context; this target consolidation is not a claim that the final production migration is already complete.

What should an Owner or Broker prepare?
Available in this preview — not a live service
Prepare enough public intake information to identify the property and an authorized contact, plus the evidence available for access, planning, technical, commercial and delivery review. Exact address, documents, scores, rent, plans, authority evidence and negotiations remain private.
Learn moreDoes submitting a property guarantee acceptance or a lease?
How CRAYS works
No. Submission starts structured review only. It does not guarantee fit, acceptance, a Candidate match, finance, lease, opening or commercial terms.
Learn moreCan one property be reviewed for more than one CRAYS Format?
Available in this preview — not a live service
Yes. One Property Opportunity can be considered against relevant Coffee, Retail, Gym and Clubs Formats, but each fit outcome stays separate. CRAYS does not force one universal score or promise that any Format will fit.

Can I explore Deal Marketplace without an account?
Available in this preview — not a live service
Yes. Guests may browse only deals approved for public display; if none are available, the page says so. An account does not reveal private evidence automatically, and no static or invented deal fills an empty marketplace.
Learn moreWhat should a Franchise Candidate prepare?
How CRAYS works
Prepare an honest view of Venture and Format fit, operating commitment, geography, capital readiness and the questions needed for diligence. Identity, account, released evidence, intent and regulated checks remain separate gates.
Learn moreDoes KYC start when I browse or create an account?
How CRAYS works
No. Browsing, account creation and initial Deal evaluation do not trigger KYC. Applicable KYC, AML, equity or source-of-funds checks may begin only after you deliberately proceed with a specific opportunity and CRAYS opens the relevant regulated step.
Learn moreDoes a Prepared Deal guarantee success, finance or an opening?
How CRAYS works
No. A Prepared Deal organizes versioned property, market, commercial, financial, design and opening evidence, including assumptions and missing items. It is not an award, approval, valuation, recommendation, finance decision, return promise or opening guarantee.
Learn moreWhat happens if a Candidate, lender or Format path drops out?
How CRAYS works
The affected relationship or decision path changes; approved independent evidence stays with its own record and version. CRAYS may rematch or reopen only the required decision instead of claiming that every participant and record must start again.
Learn moreFunding, investment & delivery
Does CRAYS make or guarantee a lender's decision?
How CRAYS works
No. CRAYS prepares and governs a versioned Funding Case dossier. Each lender applies its own policy and makes an independent decision; approval, terms, drawdown, timing and repayment are never guaranteed.
Learn moreCan a Funding Partner see every borrower or case?
How CRAYS works
No. Private evidence requires the applicable Candidate intent and checks, an approved institution relationship, an assigned lender review and explicit release of the exact dossier version. Unrelated borrowers, institutions and cases remain invisible.
Learn moreIs the CRAYS Investor page an investment offer?
How CRAYS works
No. It is general information about the CRAYS thesis and diligence process. It is not an offer, solicitation, recommendation or invitation to transact, and it promises no valuation, return, yield, distribution, liquidity, appreciation or exit.
Learn moreDoes joining the Investor network unlock financials or deals?
How CRAYS works
No. Joining starts relationship review only. Private diligence requires confirmed identity and organization, an approved relationship, assigned company, portfolio or opportunity scope, applicable gates and explicit release of the exact evidence version.
Learn moreDoes Vendor registration guarantee qualification or work?
How CRAYS works
No. Registration starts review. Qualification, invitation, tender, quote, award, assignment and explicit release are separate governed states; none guarantees work, volume, revenue or preferred status.
Learn moreWhen can a delivery company see a work package?
How CRAYS works
Only after company qualification, specific assignment, authorization and explicit release. Another company's prices, bids, invoices, documents, messages, defects and performance remain private.
Learn morePortal, privacy & authority
What does one CRAYS entry mean?
How CRAYS works
It means one public CRAYS-owned orientation and login handoff for approved stakeholder relationships. It does not mean one universal dashboard, one permission set or public access to private records.
Learn moreDoes signing in create a relationship or grant access?
How CRAYS works
No. Signing in only confirms who you are. Access opens only after CRAYS has approved your organization, relationship and the specific information or action you need. Otherwise it stays closed.
Learn moreWhich stakeholder paths belong to the shared Portal?
Planned — not available yet
The customer-readable paths are Property Owner or Broker, Franchise Candidate or Partner, Funding Partner, Investor, and Vendor, Supplier or General Contractor. They are orientation intents, not public roles or access grants.
Learn moreIs the final CRAYS.pro Shared Login already released?
Planned — not available yet
No. The final CRAYS.pro Shared Login is planned and is not live yet. It remains closed until the required security, technical-readiness and production approvals are complete.
Learn moreWhat if the private view I expect is not available?
How CRAYS works
Access stays closed. Use CONTACT CRAYS so the relevant relationship and scope can be reviewed; never send credentials, recovery codes or private keys through the contact flow.
Learn moreAre Venture customer accounts part of the shared stakeholder Portal?
Planned — not available yet
No automatic merge is implied. Gym Member access and other Venture customer experiences remain Venture-specific. A shared identity or later single application target does not transfer B2B authority, roles, records or local application sessions.
