Questions? We've got time.

What is franchise scheduling software?

Franchise scheduling software helps franchise owners build and share employee schedules across one or more locations, track hours and labor cost, and stay compliant with labor laws. Homebase goes further as an all-in-one app — adding time tracking, payroll, hiring, and team messaging so franchisees run everything from one place.

What are the benefits of using Homebase for a franchise?

Franchisees get everything in one app instead of stitching together separate tools: a unified view across locations, payroll that runs once for every location, built-in hiring, tip management, and proactive compliance — usually at a lower cost and with a simpler experience than ADP or other incumbents.

Is Homebase good scheduling software for a multi-location franchise?

Yes. Homebase lets franchisees build and publish schedules per location, schedule employees who work across locations, filter by role and location, and flag when someone is already scheduled elsewhere — all from one account.

Can I see labor, hours, and sales across all my locations in one place?

Yes. Instead of toggling between locations, you get a unified view of labor %, hours worked, and sales by location on one screen — the cross-location visibility multi-unit operators ask for most.

Does Homebase support multi-location franchise payroll and multi-state compliance?

Yes. You can run payroll across multiple locations, track overtime across locations, and handle locations set up as separate EINs. Homebase files and deposits federal, state, and local payroll taxes on the required schedule.

How does Homebase handle tips and tipped minimum wage for franchise locations?

Homebase Tip Manager imports tips from Clover or Square (or manual entry), pools and distributes them by hours worked, supports off-site and event-based pools, and tracks both cash and credit tips. It automatically adjusts tipped minimum wage to meet federal, state, and local laws and pulls totals straight into payroll with proper tax reporting — no more Sunday-night tip math.

Can Homebase handle an employee working a tipped role one day and a regular hourly role the next?

Yes. Set up multiple wage rates per employee once — server, bartender, manager — and Homebase applies the correct rate and calculates overtime correctly across all roles, with no manual adjustments.

How does Homebase handle payroll tax filing for franchises?

Homebase calculates and withdraws your payroll taxes with each run and files federal, state, and local returns on the required schedule — including across multiple locations — so there are no deadlines or forms to chase.

Does Homebase integrate with my POS — like Clover, Square, or Toast?

Yes. Homebase connects with Clover, Square, Toast, PAR, Lightspeed, and more so your sales and labor data flow in automatically and your schedules stay tuned to demand.

Does Homebase integrate with QuickBooks for accounting?

Yes. Homebase Payroll exports to QuickBooks Online and can auto-push journal entries mapped to your chart of accounts after each run. (QuickBooks Desktop isn't supported.)

Can Homebase track overtime and break compliance, including California rules?

Yes. Homebase enforces your state's overtime rules (including cross-location overtime), reminds you of missed breaks, and proactively flags state-specific requirements like California PTO payout at termination — so compliance doesn't sit on your shoulders alone.

Does Homebase have hiring and onboarding tools?

Yes — and many franchisees don't realize it. Homebase includes job posting, applicant tracking, interview scheduling, background checks, and onboarding, so you can hire without paying for a separate tool like Indeed or CareerPlug.

How much does Homebase cost for franchises?

Homebase uses transparent pricing per location — not per employee — with a free plan to start and paid plans that add payroll, HR, and advanced tools. Franchisors can ask about preferred-vendor pricing for network-wide rollouts.

How is Homebase different from ADP and other platforms?

Homebase is all-in-one — scheduling, time tracking, payroll, hiring, and HR in one app — at transparent, SMB-friendly pricing. Franchisees switch from ADP for the simpler, modern experience and to stop stitching multiple tools together.

How do I switch from my current platform?

Switching is straightforward. A real onboarding specialist helps you set up your locations, import your team and pay rates, connect your POS, and run your first payroll — so you're never starting from scratch or doing it alone.

I'm a franchisor — can Homebase work for our whole network?

Yes. We work with 300+ franchise systems on rollout, preferred-vendor pricing, and onboarding support. Contact our partnerships team to talk through a network-wide program.
