# Franchises & multi-brand

> Central menus with scoped franchisee control, one brand experience across every location, per-location settlement, and new locations live in a day.

**One brand. Fifty operators. No drift.** A franchise's hardest problem is not technology, it is consistency. Every franchisee wants local control and head office needs the brand to look identical in Leeds and in Exeter. Central menus with scoped overrides give you both.

## What this kind of operation worries about

- **Central control, local latitude** - Head office owns the core menu, brand and pricing structure. Franchisees get the fields you unlock - local specials, opening hours, delivery zones - and nothing you do not.
- **One brand experience everywhere** - Every location runs the same storefront design on the same domain structure, so the guest gets the same journey wherever they order and nobody builds their own website.
- **Settlement that respects the franchise agreement** - Each location settles to its own account, with royalty and marketing-levy reporting that head office can reconcile without collecting spreadsheets.
- **Onboarding a new location in a day** - New franchisees launch from a template rather than a project. The menu, brand, channels and integrations are already decided, so opening is a switch rather than a build.

## Questions

### Can franchisees be stopped from changing prices?

Yes. Permissions are set per field and per role, so head office can lock pricing and core menu while leaving hours, local specials and delivery zones to the operator. Every change carries an audit trail.

### How does money reach each franchisee?

Each location settles to its own bank account directly, so franchisees are paid without head office acting as a clearing house. Group-level reporting still shows the whole network by location, channel and day.

### How fast can we roll out across the network?

Once one location is templated, the rest are configuration rather than build. Boom Battle Bar went live across 29 venues in nine days; Incipio launched order-and-pay across its London venues in 48 hours.

### Can one guest account work across every location?

Yes. The guest record, loyalty and reorder history follow the customer across the network, so a regular in Leeds is recognised in Exeter and the brand gets one view of them.
