Branches and franchisees, comparable without being identical

TutorDesk runs several centres or franchisees on shared fee policy, curriculum and test series while keeping separate books, staff and enrolment per centre. The network owner sees all of them side by side; a franchisee sees only their own.

Comparability requires a shared test series. Centres running their own papers cannot be compared on results, only on collection and retention.

The second centre is where most coaching businesses discover their systems do not scale. The first ran on the owner’s memory, and the second one cannot.

What makes centres comparable

And what has to stay local for the model to work at all.

ElementShared or localWhy
Test seriesSharedWithout a common paper, results cannot be compared between centres
Fee policyShared, with local ratesThe concession rules should be the same; the amounts may differ by city
Books and collectionLocalEach centre is usually a distinct accounting entity

What the owner actually wants to know

Three things, weekly: which centre is converting enquiries worst, which is collecting slowest, and whether a difference in results reflects teaching or reflects intake.

The last one is why the shared test series matters. A centre whose students score lower may be teaching worse or may be admitting weaker students, and without a common paper you cannot tell — which means you cannot manage it.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.

Can franchisees see each other’s data?

No. A franchisee sees their own centre; the network owner sees all of them. Enquiry data in particular stays with the centre that collected it.

Can centres set their own fees?

Yes, within a shared policy. The concession rules and instalment structure are typically common while the amounts vary by city, which keeps the books comparable without pretending markets are identical.

Does it handle royalty reporting?

Yes, computed from each franchisee’s collection on the terms you configure, so the royalty figure and the collection figure come from the same ledger rather than two.
