Trusted by Multi-Unit Franchisees & Area Developers
Here is how multi-unit business owners eliminate back-office drag, audit store prime costs, and protect cash flow across their network with our managed virtual assistants.
"Operating 6 QSR franchise units was running me ragged. My SageDoer VA pulls all Toast flash reports, audits discount voids, and reconciles Sysco invoices every single morning by 8:30 AM. They caught over $3,200 in supplier overcharges in two months."
"Labor costs were creeping above 33% across our fitness franchise units. Our assistant audits 7shifts rosters against sales targets daily and flags unapproved overtime hours immediately. Our average labor dropped by 2.8% across 8 clubs."
"The dedicated project manager supervision is phenomenal. When our primary VA took scheduled paternity leave, SageDoer had a pre-briefed backup assistant handling our Restaurant365 inventory reconciliation that exact morning without a hiccup."
"We saved over $4,200 every month compared to hiring an on-site corporate operations analyst. Franchisor royalty calculations in QuickBooks are always spot-on, and our mystery shopper score follow-ups are completely automated."

Frequently Asked Questions
Real-world questions multi-unit franchise owners, area developers, and enterprise operators ask before delegating back-office tasks.
Security and data isolation are fundamental. We sign comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to onboarding. We recommend providing your VA with role-restricted sub-accounts (e.g. read-only analytics or reporting roles inside Toast, Revel, or Restaurant365, without bank disbursement or master administrator authority). All credentials can be securely shared through encrypted vaults like 1Password or LastPass with mandatory Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Yes. Your VA conducts daily audit reviews across POS shift closures. They reconcile cashier drawer counts against actual bank cash drop slips, flag abnormal percentages of managerial voids or comps, and cross-reference inventory wastage logs against theoretical product depletion to spot shrinkage patterns before they become catastrophic.
Your VA calculates net sales strictly according to your specific Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) definitions (deducting approved sales taxes, employee meal discounts, and authorized gift card liabilities). They assemble standardized weekly/monthly royalty sheets, verify franchisor automatic clearing house (ACH) withdrawals, and gather tearsheets or invoices required for local advertising fund (LSM) co-op reimbursements.
Unlike unmanaged freelance platforms where you waste hours reviewing mistakes, interviewing replacements, and monitoring time trackers, SageDoer provides an experienced Project Manager at zero extra cost. Your PM conducts daily quality checks on consolidated flash reports, verifies inventory reconciliation accuracy, audits billing logs, and guarantees pre-trained backup coverage if your assistant is sick or takes scheduled time off.
None at all. We charge zero platform fees, zero onboarding costs, and zero multi-location penalty surcharges. You pay strictly for actual productive hours worked at a flat rate of $7/hour for part-time (20 hrs/wk) or $6/hour for full-time (40 hrs/wk). You can scale hours up during new store grand openings or seasonal surges, or pause flexibly without penalties.
