QSC—quality, service and cleanliness—is a core set of metrics used in franchise operations. While headquarters use it to maintain brand standards and review store performance, many field checks still rely on supervisor visits and handwritten checklists.
Foodtech said that approach often leaves results as simple records and makes it difficult to link issues to performance indicators such as sales, menu mix and operating efficiency. As the number of franchisees grows, it also becomes harder for headquarters to monitor stores consistently and provide clear improvement guidance.
Frandy AI QSC is designed to address those limits by combining POS data with QSC inspections. It analyzes store-by-store sales and menu performance alongside QSC indicators to quantify operating conditions and pinpoint areas needing improvement.
The company said brands using Foodtech’s Mate POS can conduct more detailed analysis through POS-based data integration, allowing users to review inspection results together with sales trends, menu performance and store operating indicators.
Foodtech also highlighted gains in supervisor efficiency. It said supervisors have typically spent significant time after visits completing checklists, compiling results and preparing reports. With regularly updated data, Frandy AI QSC is intended to reduce the time and cost supervisors spend on on-site checks and follow-up management.
The service is available on both a website and a mobile app. Supervisors can review store performance using data recorded and analyzed by Frandy AI and provide customized operating guidance based on accumulated data. Headquarters and franchise owners can also share results and improvement items through reports, with an interface designed to be easy to use.
Foodtech said evaluation items can be set to match each brand’s operating strategy, allowing brands to adjust criteria depending on whether they prioritize quality, service or cleanliness and to design inspection systems suited to their business type and store characteristics.
Some franchise brands confirmed adoption ahead of the official launch. Foodtech said Ma Wang Jokbal and Got Twiggin Fried, among others, introduced Frandy AI QSC in advance and began operating it with the launch, reflecting demand from franchise headquarters to move from manual QSC management to a data-driven system.
Frandy previously launched as a franchise operations platform, emphasizing menu data cleansing and AI-based analysis. Foodtech said it developed AI-based menu data cleansing technology to address problems caused by inconsistent menu names and options across stores, which can hinder analysis. The new QSC service marks an expansion from menu analysis into store operations management, the company said.
Frandy said it plans to further develop receipt data-based menu cleansing technology and accelerate work on an integrated platform linking franchise operations, including menu structure standardization and sales data integration.
A Frandy official said, “QSC should no longer be just an inspection tool; it must become a core system that improves store performance and supports shared growth between headquarters and franchise owners.” The official added, “Through Frandy AI QSC, we will help shift operating standards in Korea’s franchise industry toward a digital-first approach and strengthen brand competitiveness.”
