Franchisees and franchise systems
Automated franchise accounting. Real-time visibility across every location.
Docyt is an AI-native ERP for franchisees, automating back-office financial workflows and keeping every unit's books clean and reconciled daily, so you can spot underperformers early, fix margins faster, and hand your franchisor and lenders on-time numbers they trust.
The problem
Where franchise accounting falls apart.
Nine locations, nine spreadsheets
Every franchise location has its own POS export, bank account, and manager. Consolidating multi-location financials becomes a monthly project, and your franchisor still wants reports by the 10th.
Royalties and fees done manually by hand
Royalties, ad fund contributions and technology fees are calculated from sales and posted manually, usually late and sometimes wrong.
Franchise entities that don't reconcile
Separate LLCs, shared costs, intercompany transfers, and owner draws make consolidated financials nearly impossible to trust.
The solution: Docyt AI-Native ERP
Franchise accounting, bill pay, and real-time visibility in one system
Automated POS revenue reconciliation
Stop matching sales to deposits by hand. Docyt posts sales from your POS or brand system every night and reconciles them to merchant deposits for every unit, so revenue is accurate daily.
Automatic royalty and fee accounting
Never miscalculate a royalty again. Royalties, ad fund, marketing, and technology fees are calculated from reconciled sales and posted automatically.
Multi-entity accounting and consolidation
Manage every LLC and location from one login. Allocate shared costs, settle intercompany transactions, and pull consolidated or location-by-location reports on demand.
AP automation and bill pay
Pay suppliers faster with less work. Split invoices across units, approve on mobile, pay from one queue, and give unit managers cards with built-in budgets.
Real-time unit economics
See which locations are winning and which need attention. Track per-unit ratios, departmental roll-ups, daily revenue, and KPI dashboards built for your brand.
Zero-day close
Close every unit's books the day after month-end. Daily reconciliation and scheduled entries mean on-time financials for your franchisor and lenders, every month.
Automated bookkeeping with AI
Stop categorizing transactions one by one. Docyt's AI codes every transaction to the right unit and account, learns your chart of accounts, and flags anything unusual, so your books stay clean without the busywork.
Multi-location payroll accounting
Get labor costs right at every location. Docyt syncs payroll from your provider, posts wages, taxes, and benefits to the right unit, and allocates shared staff across entities automatically.
Expense and credit card management
Control spending across every location. Match receipts to card transactions automatically, set budgets by unit or manager, and see every expense coded and reconciled in real time.
From one location to hundreds
The same platform at every size.
