What is a franchise management system?
A franchise management system is software a franchisor uses to run its whole network from one place. That covers recruiting and onboarding franchisees, publishing the operations manual, training staff, auditing standards, communicating, and collecting royalties. FranchiseMS adds one defining idea, which is that royalty is worked out from real activity (jobs, sales, takings, or a connected accounting system) rather than figures franchisees declare themselves. Every statement shows its working, so there are no month-end disputes.
Why FranchiseMS is different
Royalty from real data
Royalties are calculated from the work your network actually does (completed jobs, recorded sales, chair takings, card payments collected, or a connected accounting system), not a self-declared figure. Every statement shows its working, so there are no disputes.
Write it, teach it, check it
Your operations manual sets the standard, the training academy teaches it, and audits check it, all joined up through the same manual sections. When an audit check fails, the system automatically creates a task to put it right.
Head office and every unit, one system
One system runs the franchisor's head office and each franchisee's own unit. Everything flows between them automatically, so when an operative finishes a job it shows up for the franchisee and head office straight away.
Modular and sector-aware
Switch modules on, limit them, integrate a third-party tool, or turn them off, and the platform adapts to your industry, whether that's food, field services, salons, care or fitness.
One platform, every part of the franchise
From recruiting a franchisee to collecting the royalty, every part works from one shared set of records.
See it in action
Royalty, with the working shown
What is due, collected, outstanding and overdue, worked out from real recorded revenue rather than self-declared figures.
Field operations in real time
Jobs with response-time targets, emergency flags, first-time-fix and on-time rates, and certifications kept up to date.
Proof captured on a phone
Operatives close jobs with a photo, an automatic GPS stamp confirming they were there, and the customer's signature. It is trustworthy at the moment it is captured, and it works offline.
Turn modules on and off
Active, limited, integrated with a third-party tool, or off. The platform adapts to how you work.

What is a franchise management system?
A franchise management system is software a franchisor uses to run its whole network from one place. That covers recruiting and onboarding franchisees, publishing the operations manual, training staff, auditing standards, communicating, and collecting royalties. FranchiseMS adds one defining idea, which is that royalty is worked out from real activity (jobs, sales, takings or a connected accounting system) rather than figures franchisees declare themselves.
How does FranchiseMS calculate royalty?
It reads the real activity recorded for each unit (completed jobs, daily sales, chair takings, or a connected accounting system), applies the franchise's royalty rate, and shows the full working on every statement. Franchisees see exactly how the number was reached, which removes month-end disputes.
Which sectors does it support?
FranchiseMS is built to suit your sector. Food & beverage, home & field services, hair/salon/beauty and vending & unattended retail are live today, and care and fitness are on the way, built together with operators in those sectors. The core platform (manual, training, audits and royalty, all in one system) suits any franchise.
Can franchisees connect their own accounting software?
Yes. A franchisee can connect their accounting (for example Xero) so revenue is read automatically and feeds the royalty, or record sales and jobs directly in the platform. Where a unit has more than one view of the same revenue, the royalty run uses the highest so under-reporting can't shrink the fee.
Can units take card payments and message customers?
Yes. Each franchisee can connect their own Stripe account to take card payments straight into their own bank, and send branded booking confirmations, reminders and invoices to customers by text and email from their own sender name, with the card takings also feeding the royalty calculation.
Does FranchiseMS run many locations at once?
Yes. One system runs head office and every unit, and each franchisee sees only their own data. Owners with several locations get a single login with a unit switcher, and every change is saved to a permanent record you cannot quietly alter.
What makes it different from other franchise software?
Three things. Royalty is worked out from real activity rather than figures people declare themselves. The operations manual, training and audits are joined up, so the standard you write is the one you teach and check. And the design is genuinely modular and built for your sector, so you switch each part on, limit it, connect another tool, or turn it off.
