Platform · Month close
The month closes itself, and shows the arithmetic
Royalty disputes are almost never about the rate. They are about a number that arrived without its basis, from a spreadsheet the franchisee has never seen.

What breaks without it
Somebody computes royalty by hand every month. Each dispute becomes an argument about the basis, and the answer lives in a workbook only one person can open.
How it works
Royalty, step by step
Define the structure once
Percentage of net sales, fixed amount, tiered slabs or a minimum guarantee — per agreement, with the effective dates that make a mid-term change auditable rather than retrospective.
Close the period on a schedule
The period close runs on the platform’s schedule rather than when someone remembers. Each run produces per-outlet lines from the declared trading days underneath it.
Adjust without rewriting history
Credits and offsets are their own entries against the run. The basis stays what it was; the settlement changes, and both are visible.
Clear it, both directions where needed
A master franchisee collects from its units and remits the brand’s share. Each direction carries its own statement and tax treatment, so the net position is read rather than assembled.
What you get
- A royalty run per period with per-outlet lines
- A statement showing basis, rate, adjustments and tax treatment
- A GST invoice against the run
- Two-tier clearing for master franchise structures
The India detail
Gross invoice, net settlement
GST is charged on the gross royalty even when what actually moves is a net figure after offsets, and the franchisee deposits TDS out of the payment. A system that nets before invoicing produces a document your CA will reject.
Questions people ask
- Which royalty structures are supported?
- Percentage of net sales, fixed periodic amounts, tiered slabs and minimum guarantees, defined per agreement with effective dates.
- Can royalty be collected automatically?
- Payment links today. Mandate-based auto-collection is in development, and it will run through the brand’s own payment account — FranOpero does not hold your money.
- What does the franchisee see?
- The statement with its working: the sales basis, the rate applied, any adjustment, and the tax treatment. Disagreements become line items rather than arguments.
- How are mid-term rate changes handled?
- A new term with its own effective date. Past runs keep the rate they were computed at, which is what makes a historical statement defensible.
