The operational intelligence platform for QSR franchise networks
A QSR franchise runs on consistency: the same recipes, menus, products, prices, processes and supplier arrangements across every venue. Those arrangements differ from group to group - centrally controlled by head office, venue choice, or a managed split. SinoraIQ supports them all, governing what head office needs to control, automating the work in every venue, giving the franchisor and franchisee the same live view, hour to hour, day to day.
Built for: Single-brand franchise networks | Multi-brand franchise groups | Franchisors and head office | Franchisees and venue operators | Quick service and fast casual
For the franchisor (head office)
Consolidated group performance – sales, COGS, labour and OPEX across every venue in one live view, with built-in benchmarking, so head office always knows which venues are leading, which need attention and what separates the two.
Multi-brand portfolio reporting – for groups running more than one brand or format, every brand reports into one consolidated view while each retains its own recipes, suppliers and standards, so head office sees the whole portfolio and each brand on its own terms.
Supplier governance across every model – approved suppliers and contracted pricing governed centrally where the model requires it, with full support for venues that source some or all of their own suppliers. Where a group mandates a split between head office approved suppliers and venue choice, SinoraIQ enforces the approved side and still gives the venue freedom on the rest.
Network-wide supplier visibility – real-time visibility of every venue's purchases, supplier pricing, contract enforcement where it applies and supplier performance across the network, so head office sees how every venue is buying, not just what it sold.
Automated purchasing from head office production – where head office operates its own production facility, purchasing between venue and head office is automated end to end, so internal supply runs on the same platform and the same live data as external suppliers.
Head office purchasing in its own right – where head office purchases directly, whether running a production facility that manufactures recipes for venues or buying centrally on their behalf, SinoraIQ manages the full cycle: supplier orders, goods receipt, invoice processing and, for production, recipe management and costing. Head office operates as its own purchasing operation on the same platform as every venue.
Accounts payable automation at head office – head office supplier invoices, including production, central purchasing, freight and overheads, read, matched and coded automatically, so the head office finance team manages exceptions, not data entry.
Real-time recipe costing and margin intelligence – recipe costs update as supplier invoices are processed, so margin erosion is visible the day it happens, not at month end. This works at head office where a production facility operates, and at each venue as that venue's own supplier invoices are processed.
Royalty and franchise fee reconciliation – royalty and franchise fees calculated and reconciled against each venue's actual sales, so head office sees what is owed across the network without manual collation.
Network customer and loyalty intelligence – where the group runs a member or loyalty program, customer profiles, visit frequency and loyalty behaviour are connected at brand level, so head office sees who the network's best customers are and where retention effort should focus.
For the franchisee (venue)
AI-powered accounts payable invoice automation – AI invoice automation across every venue and head office, with unified visibility of supplier spend, structured to enable procurement consolidation and cross-network analytics.
Standardised ordering with network-wide visibility – an ecommerce-style ordering interface across every venue, placing orders against the supplier catalogues available to that venue, whether centrally governed, venue chosen or a mix of both, with unified visibility across the network.
Order templates – regularly ordered products saved as templates, so venue teams order in seconds, not minutes.
Optional venue-level approval governance – for company-owned venues, purchasing approval thresholds can be enforced where head office requires it, with a complete audit trail. For privately owned venues, governance is applied where it matters most: which suppliers the venue is required to buy from, while the venue retains control of its own ordering.
Real-time inventory across the network – live stock visibility at every venue, with theoretical versus actual variance tracking across the entire network.
One network, one connected platform
Head office governs what each group's model requires, from full central control to a managed split to venue choice, and sees the whole network live. Each venue runs its day on the same platform, ordering against the suppliers available to it. Because it is one connected system, every order, invoice and count rolls up into a single live picture, hour to hour, day to day, so franchisor and franchisee are always working from the same numbers.
