Questions to ask a connected AI app, from quick lookups to dashboards and bulk changes, and the guided prompts.

On this page

Ask in plain language. Your AI app picks the FranchiseSEE tools itself; you never need to name one. The MCP tool reference lists every tool, if you want to see what's behind an answer.

Your brand's own names work: "the North region", "our Express stores", "Store 1042". The app learns them from FranchiseSEE before it starts.

Sales and performance

How did net sales trend week by week across our stores from January through March?

Give me a full scorecard for Downtown Austin last month compared with the month before.

Rank our stores on net sales for last week, with the change from the week before.

Compare Downtown Austin, Round Rock and Store 1042 on net sales, labor percentage and score for last week.

How does labor percentage compare across our regions last month?

How do I compare? (franchisees)

A franchisee's app never names another store, but it can place you against the network or a peer group. See Franchisee accounts.

How does my store stack up against the rest of the brand on net sales this month? How many stores are up and how many are down?

How do my sales compare with the top quarter of stores in my format?

Show my weekly sales next to the average store in my district since June.

If a comparison comes back withheld, the group is too small to show without revealing a store; choose a larger one, such as your state or the whole brand.

Labor

Downtown Austin's score dropped this month. Which metrics are dragging it down?

Managing locations and users

These need the admin server: an HQ API token with write permissions, and the matching account permission.

Create a location called "Downtown Express" at 123 Main St, Springfield, IL 62701. Put it in the Central district and classify it as Express.

Move Round Rock from its current region to the South region.

Here's a CSV of locations and their new regions. Update them all.

The app checks every row and reports success or failure for each. Names, external ids and UUIDs all work.

Give alice@example.com and bob@example.com access to the West Coast location group, and add East Coast for Bob.

Groups are added; existing ones are kept.

Replace all of john@example.com's location groups with just West Region and East Region.

This replaces every group. A user has either one direct location or location groups, never both; see User access model.

Guided prompts

The reporting server includes two guided prompts that walk your AI app through a multi-step analysis. Apps that support MCP prompts list them in their prompt or slash-command menu.

Prompt What it does Arguments
analyze-performance A detailed analysis of one store across its metrics, with benchmarks location (required: name, UUID or external id); period (default last_month)
network-overview The whole network: top and bottom performers and trends period (default last_month)

Referring to stores, districts and users

Every tool accepts more than one kind of identifier:

Entity UUID External id Name or email
Location Yes Yes Name
District Yes Yes Name
Location category Yes Yes Name
Location group Yes Yes Name
User Yes No Email
