Franchise restaurant POS in India: Multi-Outlet tills that do not share tickets

← All notes

A franchise is not one kitchen with many cooks. It is many locations that must look like the brand, bill under their own FSSAI / GSTIN, and not leak another outlet’s tickets onto the floor. QuickKOT’s Multi-Outlet billing model (Premium and Enterprise) is built for that.

One brand, distinct tills

At signup the manager chooses Multi-Outlet (locked after that). HQ is the manager account. Each franchisee location is an outlet with its own login. That outlet gets its own menu, order-number series, tables, bill header (name, address, phone, FSSAI, GSTIN), reports, and completed orders.

Outlet tickets run independently. There is no “wait for the other kitchen” handoff across franchisees. A store in Pune should never see a live ticket from Jaipur.

Each franchisee ticket board is that store only. Kitchen tickets do not cross to another city.

What HQ can and cannot do

The HQ manager catalog, POS, and tickets stay on the main station. Managers can open an outlet on kitchen display view-only — they cannot change that outlet’s tickets from HQ. Reports and Completed default to HQ; a dropdown switches to any outlet. Excel export is for the selected location only.

Reports stay per location. HQ picks the outlet from a dropdown; the Aqua daily report is sales, GST, and payment mix for that till.

That split matters for franchise contracts: the franchisee operates the till, HQ can audit, and P&L does not get mixed on one bill.

What Multi-Outlet is not

It is not centralised hotel or food-court billing. If you need one guest bill across several kitchens in the same property, that is centralised billing — not Multi-Outlet. See restaurant chains for the same model at chain scale.
