Every Location, Side by Side

Three franchise locations or three hundred — each should run the same way. Gostly puts the same sensors in every store, so you can see which ones are slipping on food safety, energy, or speed without driving to each one.

The Challenge

Same Brand, Different Results at Every Store

Franchise operators manage stores they can't be in, run by crews that change every shift.

Walk-In Failures Overnight
A walk-in cooler or freezer that warms after close means a morning of discarded product — and maybe a store that can't open on time.
Paper Temperature Logs
Crews check and write down temperatures by hand every few hours. Logs get skipped, back-filled, or lost — right before an inspection.
Speed of Service, Unmeasured
Drive-thru and counter lines decide the day's sales, but most stores can't say how long cars wait or when the line backs up.
No Way to Compare Stores
One location's energy bill is 30% higher than its neighbor's. Without the same data from both, nobody can tell whether it's the equipment, the schedule, or the crew.

How Gostly Helps

How Gostly Helps

Identical data at every location, so the outliers find themselves.

Sensors
Automatic Temperature Logs
Walk-ins, reach-ins, freezers, and prep tables recorded around the clock, with alerts to the store manager and the district manager before product is lost.
Space Utilization
Drive-Thru & Counter Queues
Cars in the drive-thru lane, people in line, and how long each waits — counted from the cameras you already have, in 15-minute buckets you can compare across stores.
Meters
Location-by-Location Benchmarks
Electricity, gas, and water for every store on one chart, ranked — so the location using twice the energy of its neighbors is obvious on day one.
Controls
Opening & Closing Schedules
Signage, lighting, and HVAC switched on and off on schedule at every store — and alerts when fryers and ovens fire up hours before opening.
Sensors
Walk-In & Back-Door Alerts
A walk-in door propped open or a back door left open after close raises an alert — for food safety, energy, and security.
Sensors
Leak Detection & Shutoff
Leak sensors under ice machines, dish areas, and water heaters, with an automatic shutoff valve that closes before the floor floods.

What We Watch, Store by Store

The same starting kit goes into every location, so stores are comparable from the day they're installed.

Kitchen & Cold Storage
  • Walk-in cooler and freezer temperatures
  • Reach-in and prep-table temperatures
  • Walk-in door open time
  • Power loss on refrigeration circuits
  • Ice machine and dish-area leaks
Front of House & Drive-Thru
  • Cars in the drive-thru lane and wait time
  • Counter and pickup-shelf queues
  • Dining room occupancy by hour
  • Dining room temperature and comfort
  • Restroom leak detection
Across the Franchise
  • Energy per location, ranked
  • Equipment on before opening or after close
  • Peak demand by store
  • Water use per store
  • Alerts grouped by store, region, or franchisee

Why Now

Why Operators Are Measuring Now

Food safety, brand standards, and margins all reward measured data.

Food Safety Records
The FDA Food Code and local health departments expect cold-holding temperatures to be controlled and documented. Continuous records replace clipboard logs.
Brand Standards
Franchisors audit every store against the same standards. The same data from every location shows who is meeting them — between audits, not just during them.
Thin Margins
One saved walk-in of product, or one store's after-hours energy waste, can pay for that location's sensors.
Demand Charges
Many commercial electric bills charge for the month's single highest peak. Staggering when kitchen equipment starts up is often the easiest way to lower it.
