Case Study: Multi-Unit Quick Lube Franchise

This multi-unit quick lube franchise group was growing fast but burning cash every month, and the monthly close was too slow to catch it. Kordis put a revenue target on every day and every week, tied cash forecasting to it, and gave operators a forward view they could steer by. Twelve months later, the group had swung from a deep cash deficit to consistently cash-positive.

Case Study: Multi-Unit Quick Lube Franchise

The Diagnosis

Cash, not growth, was the problem. Car counts climbed every quarter, but ramping stores, royalties, rent, and oil inventory drained the bank faster than a monthly close could reveal. With no revenue target below the monthly level, a slow week only surfaced after the cash was gone, and no one could say what the balance would be even weeks out.

The Fix

A revenue goal on every day and week.

Per-store daily and weekly targets meant a shortfall showed up the same day, not at month end, while the week was still winnable.

Cash forecasting tied to the targets.

Daily and weekly revenue feeds a rolling 13-week cash forecast alongside rent, royalties, vendor bills, and payroll, so the bank balance is visible weeks ahead.

Forecast vs. actual, every week.

Measuring each week against target closed gaps in days, moving the group from reacting to cash surprises to steering ahead of them.

I'm so grateful for the strategic thinking and target metrics Kordis put in place. Very helpful and very needed. It'sbeen great working with them. Let's keep stacking some cash.
