Every site’s numbers, read as one network.

Not as part of your scope. Visory runs head office, the advertising fund, and the outlets you own, and reads the sales your franchisees report for the royalty run. Each franchisee’s books and payroll stay with that franchisee. A franchisee can engage Visory directly, as its own customer with its own scope and fee.

As its own set of books. Under the FTC Franchise Rule, your disclosure document says who contributes to the fund, whether your own outlets contribute on the same basis as franchisees, whether the fund is audited, whether its financial statements are available to franchisees, and how last year’s fund was spent, by percentage, on production, media placement, and administration. Visory keeps the fund in its own ledger and codes every contribution and every spend by category, so those figures come from the books. This is general information, not legal advice.

Yes. Each period, your Bookkeeper runs the royalty and contribution run: Delphi AI prepares it from franchisee sales reports or point-of-sale exports and checks every variance against the last period, and you approve it before anything is issued. Invoices go out in your name, electronic debits are matched as they land, and late payers are followed up on a cadence you agree.

Under the FTC Franchise Rule, a franchisor revises its disclosure document within 120 days after each fiscal year ends. Item 21 carries audited financial statements: balance sheets for the last two fiscal year-ends, and statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the last three fiscal years. Visory closes the year on the timetable that deadline needs and keeps the ledgers ready for your auditor. The document itself stays with your franchise attorney.

It depends on the states you sell in. New York, for example, requires an offering prospectus registered with its Department of Law before a franchise is offered or sold there, a prompt amendment when something material changes, and an annual report of the franchises sold. Other states set their own rules. Which registrations you need is a question for your franchise attorney; Visory keeps the financial statements and sales figures those filings draw on current.

Yes. A Payroll Specialist runs every pay cycle for the outlets you own: hours over 40 in a workweek paid at time and one-half, tipped employees’ cash wages and tip credits recorded, the federal hours limits for 14- and 15-year-olds checked against the schedule, and any higher state minimum wage applied. Delphi AI prepares and checks the run from your scheduling data, your Payroll Specialist oversees it, you approve it, and it is paid, with withholding and filings prepared from the same run.

Yes, as your own customer. Visory runs the books, payroll, and payables for each outlet you own, with the royalties and contributions you pay coded by site, and Visory Insights compares your outlets once a month. For quick-service operators, the hospitality groups page goes deeper on payroll and margin by venue.

Yes, whichever you run. Sales reports and point-of-sale exports feed the royalty run, scheduling tools push approved shifts into your payroll system, and Visory runs the ledgers from your accounting system. Your point of sale, scheduling, and franchise management system all stay where they are.

Visory charges one flat monthly fee for the scope we agree. No timesheets, no hourly billing, no surprises. The fee reflects the services you take and the volume of work in your network, from the number of outlets and pay runs to the royalty invoices and bills each month, so you know the monthly cost before you start.
