Cheeez Studio London - Custom Stripe Reporting Dashboard
Overview
Cheeez Studio operates a hybrid business model consisting of company-owned branches and independent franchisee outlets across the UK, particularly in Central London. While Stripe was used as the payment gateway, the default reporting suite did not provide the operational insights needed to manage multiple revenue sources.
Smart Web Agency designed and developed a custom web dashboard that consolidates Stripe transactions across all locations, calculates revenue shares automatically, and generates monthly settlement invoices for franchisees.
A fast WordPress build | Integrated CRM and marketing automation | Search engine optimisation | Conversion tracking | Secure hosting infrastructure
The aim was to provide clear financial visibility at both branch and franchise level, while removing manual accounting work.
The Challenge
Cheeez Studio faced several operational difficulties:
The business required a centralised reporting platform aligned with their operational structure.
- Stripe reporting was generic and not tailored to franchise-based businesses
- Revenue needed to be tracked separately for branches and franchisees
- The owner’s percentage had to be calculated manually every month
- Monthly settlement invoices were prepared outside the payment system
- No single view existed for performance across all UK outlets
Our Solution
We built a custom financial dashboard that integrates directly with Stripe and structures data according to Cheeez Studio’s business model.
Key Capabilities
- Consolidated reporting across all outlets
- Individual outlet performance analysis
- Automated revenue share calculations
- Monthly invoice generation for franchisees
- Real-time and manual transaction syncing
Technology Stack
Backend
- Laravel 12 (PHP 8.2)
- MySQL Database
- Redis caching layer
- Laravel Queues with Supervisord
Frontend

Infrastructure
- Background workers for transaction processing

How the System Works
Transaction Synchronisation
Transactions from branch and franchisee Stripe accounts are synced into the dashboard either:
- In real time, or
- On demand via manual sync button
This ensures accurate financial data at all times.
Revenue Structuring
The system separates revenue into:
- Branch revenue
- Franchise revenue
- Combined business revenue
Users can view performance at:
- Company level
- Individual outlet level
Automated Revenue Share Calculation
Each month, the dashboard calculates the owner’s agreed percentage from all franchisee invoices.
This removes manual accounting work and ensures consistent calculations across every location.
Monthly Invoice Generation
At month end, the system generates settlement invoices for franchisees showing the amount payable to Cheeez Studio. Payments are handled outside the platform, but the dashboard provides accurate and auditable financial records.

The dashboard provides:
- Monthly revenue summaries
- Outlet performance comparisons
- Centralised UK-wide reporting
- Historical financial data
Security & VAPT

Results
