I don't know of any franchises per se, but Thoughtbot, a well known Ruby on Rails consultancy, publishes a "Playbook"[0] that outlines how they run their consultancy. I find it to be a good guide to consult from time to time. It covers everything from the development process to sales. It's written from the point of view of a new Thoughtbot employee, which makes it an interesting read. 0 - http://playbook.thoughtbot.com/ http://playbook.thoughtbot.com/
