A Day in the Life of a Funtastik Labs Franchise Owner

Founded by parents looking to meet a clear need for their own children and others in their community, Funtastik Labs, the emerging STEAM-focused children’s entertainment franchise, is all about the experience. While the team has focused on building Funtastik Labs into a brand synonymous with creativity, innovation and family-centered fun, Managing Director Raj Gupta explained that the brand is just as committed to creating a great experience for its franchise owners.

“Running a Funtastik Labs is a gratifying experience; you get to make an impact on children’s lives by creating moments of joy and awe and inspiring a passion for STEAM,” said Gupta. “Franchise owners will find deep satisfaction in this unique contribution to the community.” This sentiment resonates with the franchise's core philosophy of combining fun with learning, offering a diverse array of science experiments, robotics challenges, slime creations and art projects.

An Ownership Experience that Evolves with You

“The Funtastik Labs franchise experience is one that evolves and grows with its franchise owners. In the initial phase, franchise owners go through a setup period where they’re learning and getting firsthand experience with the business,” added Gupta. “As the business is established, things start to go into autopilot mode, and franchise owners can rely more on their teams and manager(s) to run the business.”

Funtastik Labs recommends franchise owners get involved in all aspects of the business in the early stages. Not only is it incredibly rewarding to see kids light up with joy and awe firsthand, but it also gives them the insight necessary to understand daily operations and properly coach and support their teams.

As their teams get seasoned and the business establishes itself, franchise owners can start to shift away from daily operations and focus more intently on staff management, sales and marketing, administrative work, networking and community engagement. These aspects ensure the business is running optimally, and Funtastik Labs has developed systems and platforms that streamline and automate even these tasks further.

“While the Funtastik Labs hours are fixed, franchise owners can establish how they manage their time. A lot of the heavy lifting like generating field trip quotes has been automated, made self-serve for our customers, simplified so our staff can take care of it or implemented so it can be done on their mobile phone,” said Gupta. “This allows a franchise owner a lot of flexibility to determine what they take on or delegate and when and where they work.” 

One of the most appealing aspects of owning a Funtastik Labs franchise is the work-life balance it offers. 

”Our first center is a testament to this,” explained Gupta. “We’ve been able to continue to grow the existing center while diverting our focus to building out our new location, launching our franchise offering and balancing that with our family and personal life.”

“Our franchise offering allows franchise owners the ability to create a lifestyle that accommodates both their personal and professional aspirations,” he added. “Franchise owners have the option to lean back and enjoy the ownership experience, or should they choose to, take what they’ve learned with their first center and scale it up by opening additional centers and building their legacy.”
