FP&A for multi-location businesses.
Revenue, labor, and four-wall profit for every location from one governed model. Cube connects the GL, POS, payroll, and scheduling so every site agrees and compares cleanly, and every number traces to the transaction behind it.
Every location is its own spreadsheet.
Sales live in the POS, labor in payroll and scheduling, and actuals in the GL, often with each location mapped a little differently. Finance rebuilds location P&Ls by hand while managers wait for their numbers.
Locations don’t compare
Accounts map differently by site, so rankings and benchmarks are unreliable.
Labor runs ahead of sales
Scheduling and overtime move faster than the plan.
Managers fly blind
Location leaders get their numbers weeks after the month ends.
Numbers every location manager trusts.
Every location, comparable
One mapping for every site, so rankings and benchmarks hold up.
Labor against sales
Hours and labor cost against traffic and plan, by location.
New site planning
Openings modeled against capex, ramp, and cash.
Every number opens.
A regional director asks why a site missed. In Cube, it opens to the sales, labor, and expenses behind it.
Where finance teams put Cube to work.
Location P&Ls
Revenue, labor, and occupancy by site.
Board deck
Regional and board reports refreshed from the governed model.
Board reporting
Revenue, labor, profit, and cash in one board pack.
Expansion scenarios
New sites modeled against capex, ramp, and cash.
Labor planning
Hours and staffing tied to forecast traffic.
Revenue by region
Each region and format against plan.
One model for every location.
Cube consolidates GL, POS, payroll, and scheduling data into one governed model, so revenue, labor, and profit are visible by location, region, brand, or format from the same numbers.
One governed model that turns location data into operating intelligence. Locations, regions, and the GL are mapped once, reconciled, and traced to the transaction.
The location P&L that builds itself.
Sales land from the POS, labor from payroll and scheduling, and actuals from the GL. Cube runs the governed formulas behind every location, and the forecast publishes back to the model.
One location model, on every surface.
Cube connects the systems where your data lives to the tools where decisions happen. When a number changes in Cube, it updates in the spreadsheet, the board deck, the dashboard, and the answer in Slack or Claude. Everyone keeps their own view and permissions, and every figure traces back to the transaction.

ExploreYour digital finance team works while you sleep.
Four FP&Agents handle the always-on work across your data, reports, plans and business partners. Agents scale finance's capacity, while the people remain in control.
Collects, maps and reconciles data from every source so every figure is right before anyone opens a file.
Meet The Data Managers →Explains variances to the transaction, flags anomalies and answers ad hoc questions in plain language.
Meet The Analysts →Reruns forecasts as new actuals land, builds scenarios and keeps budgets current between cycles.
Meet The Planners →Brings answers to department heads in Slack, Teams and email, so finance is in every decision.
Meet The Business Partners →Board-ready means audit-ready.
Delivering numbers everywhere only works if access travels with them. In Cube it does, enforced in the layer rather than in each tool.
Every AI feature respects your permissions, and every edit, sync, and publish lands in one audit trail.

New location model
Build-out cost, ramp, and payback for each opening.
Labor and scheduling plan
Hours, wages, and labor percentage against traffic.

Common FP&A questions from multi-location businesses.
What is multi-location FP&A?
+
Multi-location FP&A plans and reports revenue, labor, and profit for every site, region, and brand. Cube runs it from one governed model across the GL, POS, payroll, and scheduling.
Which location metrics can Cube track?
+
Same-location sales, four-wall profit, labor as a share of sales, sales per labor hour, occupancy cost, new-site ramp, and cash, by location, region, or brand.
How do you build location P&Ls?
+
Connect the POS, payroll, and GL to one model and map locations once. Cube allocates shared costs on rules finance owns and builds every location P&L automatically.
What is the best FP&A software for multi-location businesses?
+
The best FP&A software for multi-location businesses connects the GL, POS, payroll, and scheduling in one model, builds comparable location P&Ls, plans labor against sales, and traces every figure to the transaction. Cube does this as the Agentic FP&A Platform, in the spreadsheets, decks, and chat tools your team already uses.
What should you look for in multi-location FP&A software?
+
Look for live connections to your accounting, POS, payroll, and scheduling; location P&Ls on one mapping; labor planning; new-site modeling; drilldown to transactions; role-based access by location and region; and audited security such as SOC 1 and SOC 2.
Can Cube model new location openings?
+
Yes. Model capex, ramp curves, labor, and occupancy for each new site and compare expansion scenarios against cash.
How do you calculate four-wall profit?
+
Location revenue minus the costs the location controls: labor, occupancy, and operating expense. Cube calculates it from POS, payroll, and GL data, with the logic visible.
What data does multi-location FP&A need?
+
GL actuals by location, POS sales, payroll and scheduling, and occupancy costs. Cube connects to hundreds of source systems across accounting, POS, payroll, scheduling, and data warehouses.
How do you forecast location revenue?
+
Start from same-location trends, add new sites on ramp curves, and adjust for pricing and seasonality. In Cube, each driver is visible and adjustable by scenario.
How often should location numbers update?
+
Most teams watch sales and labor weekly and close monthly. With Cube, data syncs on the schedule you set, and FP&Agents flag location misses overnight.
Can location managers see only their site?
+
Yes. Role-based permissions let each manager see their location while finance sees the whole business, in Cube Web, a spreadsheet, Slack, or Teams.
Does Cube work in Excel and Google Sheets?
+
Yes, on Mac and PC. Teams keep their models in Excel or Google Sheets, with live, governed numbers flowing in and edits publishing back to the model.
Is Cube secure for location financial data?
+
Cube is SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 audited, with SSO and SAML support, role-based permissions, encryption in transit and at rest, and a full audit trail on every driver, mapping, and plan change.
What is multi-location FP&A?
Multi-location FP&A plans and reports revenue, labor, and profit for every site, region, and brand.
The data lives in the GL, POS, payroll, and scheduling, so location numbers only compare when they are connected. Cube brings them into one governed model.
Same-location sales
Growth at sites open 12+ months.
Labor % of sales
Labor cost against revenue.
Four-wall profit
What each site earns after its own costs.
New site planning
How fast new locations reach plan.
Why multi-location FP&A matters
Results vary by site, and small gaps add up across hundreds of locations. Staffing, pricing, and expansion decisions depend on location numbers that are current and comparable.
How to build a multi-location operating plan
The same five steps apply whether the forecast lives in a spreadsheet or in Cube.
-
1.
Connect the sources. GL, POS, payroll, and scheduling in one model.
-
2.
Map every location. One structure for sites, regions, and brands.
-
3.
Forecast sales. From same-location trends and new-site ramps.
-
4.
Plan labor. Hours and staffing tied to forecast sales.
-
5.
Run scenarios. Test wages, pricing, and expansion against cash.

| Allocate shared costs | An allocation tab, updated monthly. | Allocated on governed rules. |
| Answer a manager | Rebuild their P&L and email it. | Drill in the meeting, or ask in Slack. |
| Catch a location miss | Find out at month-end. | FP&Agents flag it overnight. |
| Defend a number | Trace it through pasted tabs and hope the trail holds. | Drill from the figure to the source transactions. |
