As a franchise operation grows in location and size, the portfolio becomes increasingly difficult to manage and maintain.

As companies branch out to franchisors, franchisees, company-owned stores and other sub-lease agreements, the organization of multiple agreements and locations can become overwhelming.  Without proper organization of portfolio information across the board, franchise operations can face timely errors that lead to large costs.  These errors are easily avoided by proactively assessing the following:

• How are you currently calculating and forecasting royalties and reconciling these charges?
• Can you track our franchise and real estate contracts in a web-based system?
• How do you track our various brands and the real estate they hold?
• Are you tracking liquor licenses by location, city and state?
• Is there an easier way to calculate breakpoints and estimate costs based on forecasted sales and reconcile them against actual sales?
• Are you currently calculating our CPI formulas manually?  Is there a better way to manage these?
• Is there a central management system to track budget and P&L for new upfits? Are you using the correct Rent Tax when paying rent for our leases?
• Do you have a system in place to audit our percent rent leases, as well as manage our actual sales verses expected sales, breakpoints, caps and management fees?
• Are you spending too much time managing our sales tracking and compiling our reports?
• How can you determine sales exclusions in a more efficient way?
• What are your options if you miss a critical deadline?  Do you have a system in place to quickly remedy the situation?
• How can you deliver our real estate intelligence quickly and without error?
