Third-Party POS Integrations

In Development

Connect FranchiseKit with the POS systems your franchise locations already use. Sync sales data, menu items, and location performance directly into your dashboard — no manual exports or spreadsheets.

ToastSquareCloverLightspeed

Accounting Software Connections

In Development

Automate royalty reporting and financial reconciliation by connecting FranchiseKit to your accounting platform. Franchise fees, invoices, and payment data flow directly into your books.

QuickBooksXeroSage

Social Media Studio & Marketing Automation

In Development

Schedule and publish brand-approved social content across every location — Facebook, Instagram, and Google Business — from one calendar. HQ campaigns fan out localized posts to each location at its own local time, and franchisee posts flow through brand approval.

Team Chat & Video Huddles

In Development

Built-in messaging for your whole network — location channels, team channels, and direct messages, plus one-click video huddles. Move HQ-to-franchisee communication out of scattered text threads and into the platform everyone already opens.

ChannelsDirect messagesVideo huddlesMentions

Ad Fund Management & Transparency

In Development

Run your brand marketing fund with the transparency franchisees expect. Contributions accrue automatically from royalty collections, spend is tracked by category and campaign with receipts, budgets stay visible, and every franchisee gets a clear fund statement. Co-op funds and local marketing reimbursements included.

AI Assistant & Automation

In Development

Ask questions about your network in plain language — sales, royalties, compliance, training — and get answers with the numbers behind them. AI drafts announcements, social captions, and training content, summarizes documents, and flags anomalies before they become problems.

Enhanced Analytics & Reporting Dashboards

In Development

Deeper insights into franchise network performance with customizable dashboards, trend analysis, location benchmarking, and automated reports. See exactly how your franchise network is performing at a glance.
