For chains that run their own locations
Multi-location software for chains and their teams
Three stores can still be run by phone and spreadsheet. After that you notice every store has found its own way: its own lists, its own group chats, its own hygiene binder. What head office sets arrives differently everywhere – and you only see how it was implemented on your next visit.
Symiko puts every store on the same page. Head office sets standards and tasks, teams plan shifts and record daily work on site, and you see deviations before they become a problem.
What Symiko does for your stores
One standard for every store
The manual lives in the app in chapters, versioned, searchable and with acknowledgement per chapter. Mandatory updates from head office are confirmed with “Read & understood”, and you see the read status per store. The academy brings new people up to speed the same way everywhere, with courses, a final test and learning paths for the first days.
Checklists and tasks with feedback
Opening, closing, handover: checklists with ticks, readings and photos are set by head office and evaluated per store. Distribute tasks to every store once, with deadlines and repeats, and see completion per location. Store checks with scores and knock-out criteria are filled in on a phone during the visit.
Rota and time tracking per store
Each store plans its week by department, the team swaps shifts and clocks in on their own phones. Rest periods and maximum working hours are checked while planning. At month-end, hours are reviewed, approved and handed to the accountant as a file in DATEV format.
Hygiene and records
The team records temperatures, deliveries and cleaning on the device, with time and initials. Deviations get a corrective action with a deadline. For the food safety inspector you put together an inspection report, and head office sees deviations per store.
An overview for head office
The early warning shows what is about to slip, across all stores. The cockpit puts revenue, cost of goods and staff cost ratio side by side. Stores order from head office’s suppliers, and suppliers confirm by link. In-store screens are managed centrally from the app.
How you get started
You don’t have to roll everything out at once. Start where it hurts most and expand step by step.
Get to know us: half an hour on screen. You tell us where it hurts, we show it right in Symiko.
We set things up: locations, roles and logins. We bring over what you have, such as your manual or staff list.
You start with one focus area and roll out the next modules once it is part of the daily routine.
Frequently asked questions
Is Symiko only for franchise systems?
No. Symiko is also built for chains that run their locations themselves. We work out together during setup how roles and responsibilities are split across your stores.
Can we start with only some of the features?
Yes. You start with one focus area, such as team & time or hygiene & records, and roll out further modules once they are part of the routine.
Which devices does Symiko run on?
Phones, a tablet at the counter and the computer at head office. Interface and manual are available in German and English.
Where is our data stored?
Servers and documents are in the EU, not in the US. Permissions are enforced in the database, not just in the interface.
What does Symiko cost?
Billing is per location and month, not per employee. All core modules are included in the location price; you can add individual extra modules if you need them. Symiko can be cancelled monthly; we discuss the terms in the demo.
