THE OLD WAY
Every owner picks their own way.
- Each store runs whatever a previous manager signed up for.
- New franchisees work scheduling out from scratch.
- Nothing you see adds up across the group.
- A mandate lands as an email nobody opens.

The problem
You recommend a system. You can't impose one.
So every location invents its own process, and you find out at year-end when nothing lines up. Meanwhile the owner of each store can't be in the building every day either.
WITH SHIFTBASE
Every owner picks the same way.
- A new location starts with your defaults applied.
- Owners run their first schedule the same afternoon.
- Reporting groups by location when you share one account.
- Owners recommend it to owners, which is how it spreads.
Getting started:quality(80))
A new location runs itself from day one.
A department arrives furnished: a team, a default shift, and your notification rules already applied. The owner builds their first schedule the afternoon they sign up, and their staff have the mobile app before the first shift starts.
Account structurePremium:quality(80))
Two setups, depending on who owns what.
One account for the whole group gives you reporting grouped by location, targets per site, geofences per site on Premium, one employee record across sites, and a standard every new location inherits. One account per franchisee gives each owner full independence and their own invoice, with nothing shared between them.
Time tracking and payroll:quality(80))
Hours reach payroll without anyone retyping them.
Staff clock in at the store, worked hours land against the schedule, and approved hours export to your payroll system. Billing runs per department, so a group invoice lists every site by name and each owner sees what their own location costs.

Franchise groups spread it themselves.
One owner starts, the store next door asks what they are using, and the standard travels without a mandate behind it.

Everything about running a franchise group on Shiftbase - and if it's not here, our team is one message away.
Both work. One shared account gives you reporting grouped by location, targets per site, geofences per site on Premium, one employee record across sites, and a standard every new location inherits. One account per franchisee gives each owner full independence and their own invoice, with nothing shared between them.
The same afternoon. Their first department arrives with a team, a default shift, and your notification rules applied, and their staff have the mobile app before the first shift starts.
Only where you share one account - then reporting groups by location and you compare sites in one table. If every franchisee has their own account, their data stays theirs and nothing is shared between them.
Billing runs per department, so a group invoice lists every site by name and each owner can see what their own location costs.
Not through us, and honestly a mandate rarely sticks. What works is that owners use it because it makes their own week easier, and then recommend it to the owner next door.
They can move over without losing the week they are in. The switch guide walks through what to bring across and in which order.
