Multi-Unit Control

One platform. Many kitchens.

One menu system, one training library, per-location overrides. Roll out a change to fifty units before the lunch rush. Franchise agreement and royalty math built in. The tools every multi-unit group wishes their POS shipped with.

What it does

Six capabilities. One module.

Every capability listed below is included in the base module. No add-ons, no unlock fees, no per-seat surcharges. If you're on xRESTAURANTx, you have this.

1

Master menu + overrides

HQ publishes the master menu. Each location can override pricing, 86 items, or run local specials without breaking the master.

2

Central training

One training library rolls out to every unit. Per-unit completion tracking so managers see who's ready to work and who's not.

3

Rollup analytics

The group dashboard rolls up every unit's KPIs. Sales, covers, food cost, labor cost, tip percentage, refund rate. Drill into any single unit without switching apps.

4

Royalty math

Franchise royalties compute automatically per unit per week. Split rules, minimums, and reporting standards baked in.

5

New unit provisioning

New location coming online? Clone from the closest existing unit, override the address and floor plan, go live. Typically a day of setup.

6

Regional segmentation

Group units by region, brand, or segment for reporting. Regional VPs see their region only. Corporate sees everything.

Tutorial

How to use it. Step by step.

Every operator we onboard runs this same tutorial in their first week. Most complete it in one sit-down; the whole team is comfortable inside two shifts.

01

Structure your group

Set up the corporate entity, then add each unit as a location under it. Configure the reporting hierarchy — units → regions → group. Roles: corporate admin, regional VP, unit GM, unit manager, staff.

💡 Reporting hierarchy = who sees what. Region VP sees their region's units. Unit GM sees their unit only. Corporate sees everything. Configure once, works for the life of the group.
02

Publish the master menu

Chef corporate publishes the master menu at the group level. Every unit inherits it. Local managers get override rights on pricing (within corporate bounds) and 86 items (unlimited).

💡 The override bounds are the safety net. Corporate sets 'pricing override must be within +/- 8%'. Unit manager can't accidentally list a $6 burger as $0.60.
03

Push training to every unit

New menu training pushes to every unit's staff. Completion rate visible per unit. Regional VP sees which units are lagging and which are gold-star.

04

Watch the rollup

Every morning, the group dashboard shows every unit's KPIs. Filter, sort, drill. The 5-minute morning read for a 40-unit group.

💡 Weekly benchmark reports auto-email to each region VP with their region's numbers and their comp vs. the group average. No dashboard tab-hopping required.
05

Provision the next unit

New unit signs a lease. Clone from the closest existing unit — menu, training, floor plan template, staff roles. Adjust the address, tax rate, and local specifics. Live in 24 hours.

💡 New-unit provisioning speed is the difference between growing a group and getting stuck. We built this the way we did specifically because operators told us they hated the 6-week onboarding of their prior POS.

Use cases

Where this module earns its keep.

Concrete scenarios from actual operators using the module in production. Every scenario carries a metric or a mechanism, not a marketing slogan.

FAQ

Answers before you have to ask.

Do all my units have to use the same hardware?

No. Menu, training, and loyalty run in a browser on any modern device. Hardware choice is per unit — some run rugged Android tablets, some run iPads, some run web-only. All coexist.

What about franchise agreement compliance?

The franchise module tracks per-unit compliance against the franchise agreement — required menu items, brand-standard training, approved suppliers, royalty payment schedule. HQ sees violations before the audit does.

Can we run this internationally?

Yes. Multi-currency, multi-tax-rate, multi-language, per-country payment processing. We're US-focused right now but expanding — talk to us if you're an international operator.
