Franchisee Locations (also referred to as stores) are records for each restaurant store that your Franchisees own. They are stored as a special type of Customer in the system since you may want to send invoices to these stores. 


On the Franchisee Location record, you store the following details:

  • Franchisee Location (store) contact information (Name and Address etc.)
  • Upload and attach contracts and other pertinent documents for the location
  • Store ACH payment information
  • Create/view the different fees charged to the store ('Franchisee Additional Info' tab)
  • Record any Franchisee reviews you have conducted


Create a Franchisee Location



Create a new Franchisee Location by hovering over 'Franchising' in the top ribbon and then clicking 'New Store'. The 'Customer' form will open where Franchisee details can be entered.



To view existing Franchisee Locations, click 'Franchising Locations' under 'Business Development' in the left pane of the Franchising module. The Franchise Locations list will then populate the screen where any record can be opened.


Franchisee Location Form Details
