The ordering system for franchise restaurants
Franchise systems face a unique tension: brand consistency across all locations while allowing local franchisees the flexibility they need. GastroSystem resolves this with a central menu control that the franchisor manages, location-specific price overrides that franchisees control, and royalty reporting that runs automatically.

How GastroSystem helps franchise systems
Central menu management with franchisor lock
The franchisor creates and manages the master menu. Franchisees see all items but can only adjust what the franchisor permits: prices within a defined range, optional items to add or remove from local specials, photos approved in advance. The core menu stays consistent across all locations.
Location-specific price overrides
The franchisor sets a base price for each item and a permitted range (e.g. ±15%). Each franchisee sets their local price within that range. The system enforces the range automatically — no location can price outside the allowed band. Central brand pricing standards are maintained.
Automatic royalty reporting
Define your royalty model: percentage of gross revenue, per order fee, or tiered. GastroSystem aggregates the revenue data from all locations and calculates royalties automatically at the end of the month. You receive a breakdown per location — ready for invoicing.
Central performance dashboard
Revenue per location, average ticket, best-selling items, peak times — all locations in one dashboard view. Filter by region, city or individual location. Identify underperforming franchisees early and intervene with data to back you up.
What franchise systems gain
A franchise system with 10 locations, each at €15,000 monthly revenue, has €150,000 aggregate monthly revenue. At a 5% royalty, that is €7,500/month in royalty income. Automated royalty reporting replaces a manual process that previously took 2–3 days per month — saving 20–30 hours of administrative work and eliminating billing errors.

Can I prevent franchisees from changing core menu items?
Yes. You define which items are locked (not editable by franchisees), which can be deactivated locally and which local specials franchisees may add. The framework is set by you — franchisees operate within it.
How does the royalty model work in practice?
You define the model: percentage, per-order fee or tiered. GastroSystem pulls revenue data from every location at month end and calculates royalties automatically. You receive a report per location — which you use to generate invoices.
Can each location have its own login while I see everything centrally?
Yes. Each franchisee has their own login and sees only their location's data. As the franchisor, you have a superuser login that sees all locations in aggregate and individually. Permissions are fully configurable.
