How Franchisors & Franchisees Can Benefit from a Centralized BOH Platform

Connect all your restaurant franchisees to your back office system for a centralized management solution.

CrunchTime enables any Franchisor and Franchisee operation to benefit from an integrated restaurant management back office platform.

From large, multi-unit franchisees to smaller single-store franchise operations, CrunchTime will provide operators with a back office system that will help identify and control food and labor costs across the entire enterprise.

Franchisor & Franchisee Functionality

CrunchTime! has addressed this at scale with large highly-fragmented franchise communities around the world.

• The Franchisor decides how much data is centralized and how much data is localized. The franchisor also decides how much data might be shared between the franchisor and franchisee; and what the rules of engagement are for those data sets. This balance is resolved through configuration controlled by the franchisor.
• CrunchTime’s platform provides a single database (Oracle Enterprise with Partitioning) with multiple schemas. This enables the platform to separate data (1) into franchisee-specific schemas for data that needs to be physically separate from the franchisor and (2) into a franchisor-specific schema for data that needs to be shared across the enterprise.
• There is business logic in the app and database layers to ensure that data access is controlled/enforced and that data is efficiently synchronized across schemas.
• The Franchisor can benchmark financial performance across the entire enterprise using configurable hierarchies, but also ensure that each franchise group can only see their data.
• This highly-configurable model has been developed in collaboration with large (and small) franchisors around the world and is constantly being updated, enhanced and improved based on the real-world use cases provided by our user community.
