What the service includes ↓About the service
Developing a franchise requires more than giving a partner a menu and access to the software. You need to agree on how the location keeps its records, which decisions it can make independently and which figures the management company will use to assess its operation.
Without a common process, identical report names do not guarantee comparable data.
Which rules should be established in advance?
Start by defining the authority of each party. Who can change a recipe? Who approves a new menu item? Who checks write-offs? How does a partner report a deviation, and who decides what to do about it?
Next, document employees’ daily tasks: entering documents, counting stock, checking results and preparing reports.
Franchise preparation includes developing iiko operating procedures, assigning roles and creating instructions.
How do you make performance figures comparable?
Imagine two locations: one records staff meals separately, while the other combines them with other write-offs. Comparing the total value of losses without accounting for this difference will not provide a clear interpretation.
A standard therefore needs to define more than the name of a metric. It should also specify how the metric is calculated, which transactions it includes, which period it covers and who checks it.
iiko offers tools for centralised accounting, consolidated reporting and franchise management. The availability of the required features depends on the selected solution and enabled functions.
What does the management company receive?
The result is a set of working rules that can be used to train partners, check compliance with requirements and investigate disputed situations.
A useful instruction answers specific questions: what must be done, when, by whom and how the result should be checked. It should help employees complete their work without repeatedly contacting the franchise owner.
This service focuses on accounting standards and working practices in iiko. It does not replace the legal and marketing preparation of a franchise.
