For franchises

One way to roster, every store on board

Standardise rostering, onboarding and award pay across the network, give the franchisor oversight and every franchisee their independence, and keep award pay consistent under your brand. Free to start.

Franchise stores managed in Shiftly

The same setup, every store

Roll out the same award rules, roster templates and onboarding so every franchisee starts from the right baseline, not their own version of it.

Oversight without takeover

Share access across stores and scope each manager to their own site, so the franchisor gets visibility while every franchisee stays independent.

Award rules applied the same way, everywhere

Award pay is calculated the same way across the network, so how each store pays its people is consistent and something the brand can stand behind.

Consistent award rules

Award rules applied the same way at every store

Award pay is calculated from configured rules the same way at every store, covering penalties, allowances, overtime and age-based rates. Instead of each franchisee interpreting the award their own way, the whole network pays people consistently.

Oversight and access

Franchisor oversight, franchisee independence

Each store runs its own Shiftly business, and you can share access across stores and scope each manager to their own location. Franchisees run their own floor day to day, while the franchisor keeps the visibility to protect the brand.

Onboarding

New stores, up and running fast

The setup wizard seeds a working business in minutes, and paperless onboarding collects each new hire's account, bank, tax and super details and syncs them to Xero. New franchisees can import existing staff straight from Deputy, Xero or a CSV.

Shift cover

No store left short

An empty section is a poor experience under your brand name, wherever it happens. Each store can mark a shift open and fill it from its own eligible staff. From September 2026, Sydney stores can post the same shift to Shiftly On-Demand, where independent shifters accept it directly. You pay for the hours worked plus Shiftly's fee, with no agency markup, and because shifters work for themselves there is no payroll to run for the cover.

  • Open shifts go to eligible staff at each store
  • Launching in Sydney, September 2026, starting with hospitality

Cost visibility

See labour cost, store by store

Each store tracks its labour cost with live reporting and can set budgets to catch an over-spend as it happens. Map jobs to Xero tracking categories so the numbers flow straight into the books. POS integration is coming soon.
