What should QSR back-office software actually do for a franchise group?
It should keep recipes, pricing and stock identical across every location, and show you labour cost against sales in real time at both a venue and a group level. When recipes drift between locations, so does your cost of goods and your brand promise, often without anyone noticing until the numbers are already wrong.
- Recipes and menu pricing managed centrally and synced to every location, not maintained site by site.
- All items received in real time via AI invoice scanning, so ingredient costs update as prices move.
- Recipe costing down to the individual item, so every location works from the same margin picture.
How do I keep labour cost under control across different locations?
Keeping labour costs under control across multiple locations starts with one live view of every roster, sales result and wage cost. Loaded shows labour as a percentage of sales by site and across the whole group, so you can compare performance, spot overruns early and adjust staffing before they become an end-of-week surprise.
- Rosters built around real trading patterns, not a flat shift structure.
- Real-time labour cost as a percentage of sales, updated as the day unfolds.
- AU award-compliant penalty rates and overtime applied automatically, across every site.
How do I streamline purchasing across the entire network?
Centralise purchasing across every location so each venue orders from the same approved products from the same approved suppliers. Loaded gives your group one place to manage procurement, create repeat-order templates and compare what each site is buying and paying. With stock levels, invoices and supplier costs connected, you can reduce admin, catch price differences early and keep purchasing consistent across the network.
- AI predicts orders to help all of your venues avoid over and under-ordering.
- Tender and contract prices can be loaded and reviewed across every invoice at every venue.
- Consolidated purchasing reporting allows for robust and efficient procurement processes at head office.
How do I see performance across the group as well as site by site?
It's hard to know which of your locations are actually performing when each one is a separate login, a separate report, or a separate spreadsheet someone has to stitch together. Loaded pulls sales, labour and stock into one consolidated view across your whole group, so you can compare site to site and catch a problem location early, not months later.
- Single site and consolidated group reporting.
- Revenue, labour and COGS all driven from the same platform.
- Catch a problem location early, before it shows up as network churn.
What to look for in QSR management software
Do you know what your menu is really costing you?
QSR operators who move to Loaded see cost of goods drop by 8% on average — because every recipe is finally priced against what you're actually paying today, not last time you updated your menu.

Frequently asked questions
Does Loaded work for franchise QSR operations?
Yes. Loaded supports franchisees and multi-site QSR operators at the venue and group level, bringing stock, recipes, ordering, labour, cashups and performance into one connected hospitality back office. Loaded is not a franchise management or royalty-reporting platform, but it works alongside the POS systems that manage those requirements.
How does Loaded keep recipes and pricing consistent across every location?
Loaded lets you manage recipes centrally and share them across locations, so every site works from the same ingredients, yields, portions and expected costs. Current supplier pricing flows into recipe costs, while sales prices come from your POS, giving you an up-to-date view of COGS and margin by product and location.
Can Loaded handle labour cost during rush-hour trading spikes?
Yes. Managers can build rosters around forecast sales, then track actual labour cost against live POS revenue as the day plays out. Roster and timeclock data show whether each location is over or under its wage target, so teams can respond during the shift rather than finding out after payroll.
Does Loaded manage stock and ordering across multiple QSR sites?
Yes. Loaded connects stocktakes, purchasing, recipes and POS sales across every location. Sites can manage their own counts and orders, while head office can standardise stock items, suppliers, recipes and purchase-order templates and see performance across the whole group.
Will switching to Loaded slow down counter service or mean replacing our POS?
No. Loaded works alongside your existing POS rather than replacing it, with sales data syncing in the background. Your team can continue taking orders and serving customers as usual while Loaded gives managers better control of stock, labour, ordering, cashups and margin.
