One significant area of concern is the management of secure and efficient payment processes across multiple locations. This is where Gala Technology's SOTpay comes into play, offering a robust solution tailored to the needs of franchises.
Franchise businesses typically deal with diverse operational complexities. These include maintaining consistency in the customer experience, managing centralised policies, and ensuring uniformity in transactions across different locations.
