What HQ ships with
Everything a franchisor actually needs.
Not a bolted-on "multi-location" toggle. Purpose-built franchisor tooling on top of the shop OS your locations already run.
Cross-location dashboard
Rollup KPIs from every franchisee in real time — revenue, appointments, close rate, NPS, royalty owed. Drill into any shop for per-location detail.
Royalty automation
Automatic royalty calculation from gross sales. Per-shop statements per period with PDF + CSV export. ACH pull or invoice-based collection. Dispute-flag surface.
Franchise development CRM
12-month franchise-buyer playbook from lead → discovery day → close. FDD-aware compliance, validator referrals, rep dashboard, goals + leaderboard.
Per-location overrides
Master catalog at HQ. Per-shop price/inventory overrides within franchisor-defined floors and ceilings. One-click catalog push with override-respect.
Region + territory tools
Define regions, sub-regions, and territories. Assign managers, run region-level reports, track territory performance for franchise development.
Shop OS for every franchisee
Each franchisee gets the full SalesThumb shop OS: CRM, scheduling, quotes, invoicing, payments, inventory, mobile app — branded with their own logo + domain.

FAQ
Franchise FAQ.
- What franchise management software does SalesThumb offer?
- SalesThumb HQ is the multi-location tier of our shop-management platform. It adds a franchisor-grade layer on top of the per-shop OS: royalty calculation + statement generation, cross-location revenue + performance reporting, a franchise development CRM for selling new units, sales playbook automation for franchise sales reps, location compliance tracking, and a unified shared services catalog that every franchisee inherits with per-location overrides.
- How does royalty tracking work in SalesThumb?
- Royalties are calculated automatically from gross sales in each shop. Franchisors define the rate (typically 5-8% of gross), the period (weekly/monthly/quarterly), and any thresholds or carve-outs. SalesThumb generates the royalty statement per shop per period with full line-item detail, surfaces dispute flags, and supports ACH pull or invoice-based collection. Statements are exportable as PDF + CSV.
- Can I see all my franchise locations in one dashboard?
- Yes. The HQ dashboard rolls up KPIs from every franchisee shop in real time — revenue, appointments completed, avg ticket, close rate, NPS, royalty owed, marketing spend, and operational metrics like fill rate and same-day reschedule rate. Drill from the rollup into any single shop for a full per-shop view.
- Do you have a franchise development CRM for selling new units?
- Yes. The franchise sales CRM ships with a 12-month franchise-buyer playbook (lead → discovery day → FDD review → territory selection → close), a sales-rep dashboard, sequenced automations, FDD-aware compliance checks, validators (referenced franchisees who'll take a call), and a goals + leaderboard for sales reps. Built specifically for franchise sales — not retrofitted from a generic CRM.
- How do you handle multi-location pricing and catalogs?
- HQ defines the master catalog (services, products, film SKUs, ceramic tiers, etc.). Each franchisee inherits the catalog but can apply per-location pricing overrides within franchisor-defined floors and ceilings. Catalog updates push to all locations with a one-click 'catalog push' that respects each location's override settings.
- Can franchisees use their own SalesThumb subdomain?
- Yes. Each franchisee gets their own subdomain (e.g. atlas-tint.salesthumb.com) plus optional custom domain (e.g. atlastint.com). Branding is per-location: logo, colors, copy, public booking page, customer messaging. The franchisor sets the brand-guideline floor.
- What does HQ pricing look like?
- HQ is custom-priced per franchise — depends on franchise count, royalty volume, and feature mix. Typical structure is a base platform fee + per-location software license + (optional) royalty-platform fee. Reach out via /contact for a discovery call and quote.
- How long does it take to roll out across an existing franchise network?
- Typical rollout for an established franchise network is 60-90 days: 2 weeks for HQ setup + catalog import, 4-6 weeks for franchisee rollout in waves of 5-10 shops, and 2-4 weeks for royalty automation cutover. We provide a dedicated rollout coordinator for networks of 10+ locations.
