Franchisees can be connected to the Central Office via the following methods;
The Franchisee manages their own pricing and POS Management/Reporting
software and transfers the sales data to the Central Office via an internet connection on a daily/weekly basis.
The POS Terminals are permanently connected to the Central Office via an
internet connection and the reporting back to the individual stores is
also via the Internet.
Blended solutions are also available that allow Area Managers to
consolidate sales information for their area but product management is still
controlled by the Central Office.
