Royalty Processing Shouldn’t Run on Spreadsheets and Trust
Your royalty is only as accurate as the sales figure behind it, and that figure is usually self-reported. Getting paid then means calculating each location, invoicing, chasing the late ones, and reconciling by hand every cycle.
From the Manual Grind to Automatic
| The Manual Grind | With Autymate |
|---|---|
| Per-location fee math by hand every cycle | Configured once, then calculated automatically every cycle from each location’s actual sales data |
| Trusting self-reported sales that get underreported | Read straight from the source, in QuickBooks, your POS, or your bank, so there’s no self-reported number to underreport |
| Chasing late payments by email | Direct bank-to-bank ACH collection, with automatic retries on failed payments |
| Reconciling payouts, fees, and refunds by hand | Funds disburse to your bank, with gross, fees, and net tracked on every transfer |
| No single view of what’s owed, paid, or failed | A live dashboard shows paid, pending, and failed royalties across every location |
| No clean audit trail | Every fee, invoice, payment, and adjustment logged with who, when, and why |

How Does Franchise Royalty Management Software Work?
Franchise royalty management software automates how a franchisor calculates, invoices, collects, and reconciles the fees each location owes. Autymate calculates every fee directly from each location’s actual sales data, in QuickBooks, your POS, or your bank, generates and sends invoices on your schedule, collects by direct bank-to-bank ACH, and disburses to your bank. No self-reported sales, no spreadsheets, no NACHA files.

Royalties Calculated From the Actual Source
The biggest risk in royalty collection isn’t late payment, it’s underreporting. When royalties ride on a sales number the franchisee types in, every underreported dollar is royalty you never see.
How Are Franchise Royalties Calculated in Autymate?
Autymate calculates each location’s royalty directly from its actual sales data, wherever that lives: QuickBooks, your POS, or your bank. Never from a sales figure the franchisee types in. Every invoice ties back to the underlying source transactions, so the amount is accurate, transparent, and impossible to underreport. You see gross sales, fee percentages, adjustments, and the final balance for each location.
- Sourced from the system of record. Royalties compute from each location's real sales data, with no self-reporting step.
- Traceable to the transaction. Every invoice drills down to the source general-ledger entries behind it.
- Adjustments with an audit trail. Credits, debits, and write-offs are tracked with who, when, and why.
- Nothing to verify, by design. Because the number is read straight from the source, there is no self-reported figure to check or audit after the fact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Franchise royalty management software helps franchisors calculate, invoice, collect, and reconcile the fees each location owes. Autymate calculates every fee from each location's actual sales data, whether that lives in QuickBooks, their POS, or their bank, collects them by direct bank-to-bank ACH, and disburses to your bank, so the whole royalty cycle runs automatically instead of on spreadsheets and self-reported sales.
Franchise royalty fees are usually a percentage of a location's gross sales, often paid alongside a brand-fund (advertising) fee and a fixed technology fee. The exact percentages and structure vary by brand and are set in the franchise agreement. Autymate supports any combination: percentage or fixed fees, multiple fee types, and a different rate for every location.
Autymate calculates each location's royalty directly from its actual sales data, in QuickBooks, their POS, or their bank, so the figure comes from the real source rather than a number the franchisee self-reports. It applies your configured fee structure (percentage, fixed, brand, and technology fees) for each location and billing period, and ties every invoice back to the underlying source transactions.
Royalties are collected by direct bank-to-bank ACH from each franchisee's verified account into your franchisor wallet, with automatic retries on failed payments. You then disburse funds to your own bank manually, on a schedule, or once a balance threshold is reached. Every transfer shows the gross amount, processing fees, and the net you receive.
Yes, by design. Because Autymate calculates royalties from each location's actual sales data rather than a self-reported sales figure, there is no reported number to understate. The amount owed is derived from the real source and is traceable to the underlying transactions, so underreporting is eliminated at the source rather than caught after the fact.
Royalty management is the process of calculating, collecting, and reconciling the fees each location owes. Franchise reporting is broader: consolidated financials, KPIs, location performance, and forecasting. Autymate does both. Its royalty automation runs the fee-to-funds cycle, while its reporting turns the same source data into network-wide financial visibility.
No. Autymate calculates royalties from your franchisees’ actual sales data, wherever it lives: QuickBooks, a connected POS system, or their bank. Autymate integrates deeply with QuickBooks as an Intuit Gold Partner, so QuickBooks users get an especially seamless setup, but it is not a requirement.
Yes. You define fee types once: royalty percentage, brand fund, technology fee, or a custom structure, and override any rate for any location in a simple matrix. Fees can be percentage-based or fixed, on weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly cycles, and they apply automatically every billing period.
Franchisors, franchise finance teams, and royalty administrators managing fees across multiple locations. It is the strongest fit when royalties are calculated by hand, franchisees self-report sales, payments are chased by email, or you are scaling past the point where spreadsheets stay accurate. Autymate fits networks from a single location to 1,000+.
Autymate is multi-tenant by design. Row-level security isolates every record by organization and location, role-based access controls who sees what, and a full audit trail records every fee, invoice, payment, and adjustment. The platform is SOC 2 Type II and scales from a single location to 1,000+.
