Run every location, every shift, every paycheck from one app.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
