General business · Franchise Management Software

One connected system for franchise candidates, territories, agreements, royalties and field audits.

Manage franchise candidates, territories, signed agreements, outlet openings, royalty billing, brand audits and franchisee support in one system. Each franchisee carries one number across the sales pipeline, the agreement and the outlet. Franchisees log in to report sales and see their own invoices and actions.

  • Fee rules and reporting periods entered as your agreement states them
  • Candidate list, outlets and agreements loaded from your files
  • Edits to checklists and fee rules handled by GullySystem staff on request

Franchisors use Franchise Management Software, configured by GullySystem, to hold candidates, territories, agreements and outlets across the network. Each franchisee carries its agreement, reported sales, royalty and marketing fund invoices and audit actions. Franchisees log in to submit sales and see their own balances. Renewal and transfer dates are raised ahead of time.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Candidates are tracked in separate lists

Website forms, expo cards and broker referrals sit in different sheets. Nobody can confirm who has been sent the disclosure document, or when. Duplicates result.

Territory ownership is checked by memory

Exclusive areas are described in agreement clauses and attached maps. A new enquiry is compared with sold areas by someone who remembers the outlets. Clashes are found late.

Agreements and outlets are separate files

The signed agreement sits with legal, the outlet details with operations. Fee rates, term and renewal options are looked up by asking. Fees wait.

Royalty calculations are retyped

Each franchisee reports sales in his own layout. Finance copies the figures into a sheet, applies the rate and prepares the invoice by hand. It is slow.

Audit scores and actions are separate

The field consultant scores a visit on paper and emails notes later. Actions agreed with the franchisee are not tracked to completion. Actions drift.

Opening an outlet involves many hands

Lease approval, fit-out, staff training, supplier setup and sign-off belong to different teams. The grand opening date depends on a checklist nobody owns. That causes delay.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Candidate enquiry

    The enquiry goes in with where it came from and which territory the candidate wants. The disclosure document is sent and the date recorded. It is one entry.

  2. 2

    Discovery and approval

    Discovery day attendance, funds check, background review and the committee’s decision are recorded against the candidate. The decision is final.

  3. 3

    Agreement and territory

    The signed agreement is filed with its fees, term and renewal option. The territory is marked sold on the network map. It is one record.

  4. 4

    Opening

    The opening checklist runs from lease and fit-out through staff training and supplier setup to the grand opening sign-off. Every step has an owner.

  5. 5

    Trading and billing

    The franchisee submits sales for each period. The royalty and marketing fund contribution are calculated from the agreement and invoiced. Both are posted.

  6. 6

    Audit and renewal

    Field visits score the outlet and track actions. Renewal, transfer or resale is raised ahead of the end date.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Candidate pipeline

Move each candidate from enquiry to disclosure document, discovery day, funds check and signed agreement, with documents and dates kept at each stage.

Territory map and availability

Define each territory, mark it sold, reserved or open, and check a new candidate’s postcode against what is already taken.

Franchise agreements

Hold the signed agreement with its fees, term, renewal option and transfer conditions, and raise a reminder before the end date.

Outlet register

Keep each outlet’s address, opening date, owner, manager, trading hours and operating status, including company-owned outlets with no royalty.

Opening checklist

Assign every step of an outlet opening to a team, from lease approval and fit-out to staff training and grand opening sign-off.

Sales reporting by franchisees

Franchisees submit sales for each period through their own login, and late reports are listed on the day the period closes.

Royalty and marketing fund billing

Calculate the royalty and fund contribution from reported sales and the rates on each agreement, then invoice both and record payments.

Field audits and brand standards

Score each visit against your own checklist, attach photographs, and track corrective actions until the consultant closes them.

Training and certification records

Record which franchisee staff completed which brand course, with dates and the trainer, so an outlet cannot open without the required certificates.

Franchisee support and supply orders

Log franchisee requests as numbered tickets, and take supply orders from your approved supplier list.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Lead Management

    Enquiries from the website, expos and broker referrals join one list with their source and the territory asked for.

  • Territory Management

    Each territory is defined once and marked sold, reserved or open, so a new candidate’s postcode is checked against what is taken.

  • Contract Management

    The signed agreement holds fees, term, renewal option and transfer conditions, and a reminder is raised ahead of the end date.

  • Subscription Billing

    Every period raises a royalty and fund invoice from reported sales and the rates on that franchisee’s agreement, then records what is paid.

  • Dealer and Distributor Portal

    A franchisee logs in to submit period sales and read his own invoices, while late reports are listed for head office on closing day.

  • Service Reports and Proof of Visit

    A consultant scores the visit on a phone, attaches photographs and leaves a report with actions the outlet must close.

  • Training & Development

    Brand course completions are recorded per staff member with dates and trainer, and an outlet’s opening checklist reads them.

  • Ticket Management

    A franchisee request becomes a numbered ticket with an owner at head office and a promised reply, so nothing is lost between calls.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Connections

Tools it connects to.

Each connection is scoped for your own account, one data flow at a time.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For the franchise development team

Log candidates, send the disclosure document, schedule discovery days and see which territories remain open.

For field consultants

Score outlet visits on a phone, attach photographs and follow each corrective action with the franchisee.

For finance

Collect sales reports, invoice royalties and fund contributions, and chase late payers outlet by outlet.

For franchisees

Submit sales, view invoices and audit actions, order supplies and raise a support request from one login.

For the franchisor’s owner

See outlets trading, candidates in the pipeline, royalties due and agreements nearing their end date.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Candidate pipeline by stage and source
  • Territories sold, reserved and open
  • Reported sales by outlet and period
  • Royalty and marketing fund invoiced against received
  • Audit scores and open corrective actions by outlet
  • Agreements due for renewal or transfer
  • Late sales reports by franchisee
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Franchisors who sell outlet licences in food, retail, fitness and services
  • Master franchisees who sub-license territories to local operators
  • Co-operative networks whose members pay a fee and follow common standards
  • Brands that run both franchised and company-owned outlets
  • Development teams that sell territories through expos and broker referrals
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A brand with two or three outlets can manage with agreement files and a monthly sales sheet.
  • A single multi-site business with no franchisees will find Multi-branch features in a general system closer, and a franchisee running one outlet needs software for that trade instead.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Your fee structure

Royalty rates, minimum fees, step changes, fund contributions and reporting periods are entered as the agreement describes them. Nothing is hard-coded.

Territory rules

Exclusive and non-exclusive areas, and how a territory is described, are set to the way you define them.

Audit checklists

Your brand standards become the scoring checklist, with sections and weights as you assess them today.

Currency and tax settings

A franchisor can bill in each country’s money and tax terms, with each outlet’s invoice following its own country’s rules.

Network migrated

Outlets, candidates and agreements come across from the files and sheets the network keeps today. Checked before go-live.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can each franchisee have different royalty terms?

Yes. Rates, minimums and step changes are stored on each agreement, and the calculation reads the terms that apply to that outlet for that period.

Can royalties be calculated from point of sale data instead of a typed report?

Where an outlet’s till can export or send sales, those figures can feed the period total. Which tills connect is checked during implementation.

How are territories protected from overlap?

A territory is defined once and marked sold. A new candidate’s area is checked against sold and reserved territories, and a clash is shown before the agreement is drafted.

Do franchisees see each other’s figures?

No. A franchisee sees only his own outlet’s sales, invoices, audit actions and tickets. Head office sees the whole network.

Are outlets the franchisor itself runs held alongside franchised ones?

Yes. They are outlets with no agreement and no royalty, so network sales and audit reports include them beside franchised ones.

How are renewals and transfers handled?

The agreement’s end date raises a reminder ahead of time. A transfer or resale opens an approval task with the buyer’s candidate record attached.

Can existing outlets and agreements be loaded?

Yes. Outlets, agreements, fee rules and open invoices come from your files, and the finance team checks a sample period before go-live.

What does it cost and can we see a demo?

The amount follows the outlet count and the scope, and you receive it as a written quote. A demo walks one candidate from enquiry through to a first royalty invoice.

Wondering what it costs? Six questions give you a written scope and the buckets any quote should separate.
