What a franchise network needs from a workforce tool
A franchise network runs the same operation in many places. Each franchisee site staffs shifts, onboards new people, rosters against trading hours and pays staff under an award. Multiply that across a network and the challenge is consistency. The brand wants every site to manage people the same way, while each site still runs its own roster and pay.
Run that on a different spreadsheet at every location and the network loses its grip. Onboarding varies site to site, rosters are rebuilt by hand each week, and timesheets are rekeyed into payroll with every manual step a chance for error. Cohiva Culture brings onboarding, rostering, timesheets and payroll export into one tool for multi-location teams.
What Culture does for franchise networks
Culture is workforce software built for teams that work shifts across many sites. For a franchise network that means:
- Onboarding new staff into one consistent staff record at every site.
- Rostering against each site's trading hours.
- Timesheets captured from worked shifts and approved by a site manager.
- Payroll export that sends approved hours to payroll, so people are paid for what they worked.
Because the same tool runs at every location, a network gets a consistent way to onboard, roster and pay people while each site still manages its own day to day.
Award-covered shifts, consistent across sites
Staff across a franchise network are typically covered by a modern award that sets minimum pay and conditions. Culture captures worked hours and produces a clean payroll export at each site, which helps each franchisee comply with those conditions when they run pay. It supports the network's obligations as employers rather than making any regulatory promise.
Where this sits in your operation
Culture is the workforce layer of the Cohiva suite. A franchise network can pair it with finance and consolidation from Crunch to roll site results into a group view, so people and finance share one platform.

Who it is for
Culture suits franchise networks that staff shift-based teams across many franchisee sites under award conditions, and that want consistent onboarding, rostering, timesheets and payroll export rather than a different spreadsheet at every location.
