The best workforce software for franchise operators
The best workforce management software for franchises in 2026 is DohOps — $99/mo for unlimited locations with 8 users included ($8 per extra user), built by a 30-year multi-unit operator who runs 7-Eleven stores, franchise hotels and a gas station. It replaces per-store SaaS sprawl with one platform: time, scheduling, tasks, hiring, bonuses and a conversational AI assistant — in English, Spanish & Hindi. Here's how to choose and why DohOps fits franchise portfolios.
What to look for — and how DohOps measures up
The criteria that actually matter when you choose a workforce app for franchises.
Pricing that scales with you, not against you
Franchising is about replicating a unit. Software that charges per store taxes the exact thing you're trying to do. DohOps is $99/mo for unlimited locations, with 8 users included and $8 per extra user, and no per-location fee. Want to try it at one store first? Start on DohOps Free: one location, up to 8 users, free for your first 6 months.
Multi-unit rollups
See every location in one view and drill into any single store — without separate logins or tab-switching per unit.
Audit trails for franchisor compliance
Photo-verified tasks, time records and approvals, kept in an audit log, give you a dated record to show for brand standards and labor rules.
One platform, every unit
Time, scheduling, job tasks, hiring, bonuses and messaging in one app — instead of five subscriptions per location.
Built by an operator, not a generic HR vendor
DohOps reflects the workflows of someone who actually runs multi-unit stores across verticals.
An AI assistant you ask in plain words
Approve time off, message a team, fill in a ticket or draft a week of open shifts from one sentence, at any location you manage; DohOps AI suggests one action and a person confirms it.
