Most franchisors find out about a struggling location the same way — a royalty check that doesn't come in or sudden insolvency. By then, the franchisee has been bleeding cash for months. Marketing spend has dried up. Staff turnover has started. Vendor bills are past due.
This isn't a franchisee problem. It's a visibility problem. And it's one that traditional bookkeeping, bank statements, and month-end reports cannot solve.
We built Streamline specifically for franchise brands that are done finding out about problems 60, 90, or 120 days after they start.
Every franchisee. Every location. One live view. Our proprietary dashboard gives you side-by-side financial performance across your entire system — updated in real time. When a location drifts from your benchmarks, you find out the same day.
We standardize bookkeeping across every franchisee, so your financial data is consistent, comparable, and audit ready. One system. One standard. Clean data across the entire portfolio.
Your FDD covenants only protect your brand if someone is actually watching them. We monitor marketing spend compliance, royalty accuracy, and vendor sourcing in real time so violations surface in days, not quarters.
Comprehensive payroll facilitation, tax remittance, and required filings across all franchisee locations — managed, compliant, and off your plate.
Populating Items 7 and 19 of your FDD without centralized data can cost thousands of dollars and weeks of consultant time. With our system, those updates become a 30 to 60-minute exercise. We also monitor Items 8 and 16 — vendor sourcing and service restrictions — on an ongoing basis.
Because we engage with your franchisees directly, this entire service is offered to you at little to no cost. Curious? Click the link to find out more.
A franchise with 15 locations had no visibility into whether franchisees were purchasing from approved vendors. We identified one location running cost of goods at 50%, well above the 35% benchmark, because they were sourcing outside the approved network. One phone call resolved it. Without real-time monitoring, this would have taken six months to surface.
A franchisee set up a bank rule to disguise personal payments as 'Spotify Radio' on her statements — making it appear required marketing spend was being made. We caught it because her marketing-to-revenue ratio was running six times higher than every other location. The franchisor had no idea. The data made it undeniable.
A franchisee had been underreporting gross sales for seven months — modest enough each month to seem plausible, but the pattern was unmistakable in our system. Seven months of underpayments. Recovered in full.

When a unit fails, it isn't just a single location problem. It damages your brand reputation, impacts your ability to sell future units, and affects your capacity to raise outside capital.
