Choosing the Right Business Structure
Setting up the correct business, branch, staff, and register structure early prevents reporting confusion later.
Recommended Structure
- Use one business account for one legal or operational business.
- Use a separate establishment for each branch.
- Use registers for individual checkout counters or POS devices.
- Use staff accounts for people, not shared logins.
When You Have Multiple Branches
Create a clear naming pattern before adding data. Good examples are "Downtown - Register 1" or "Airport Branch - Kitchen Printer".
What to Avoid
- Do not create a separate business account for every branch unless the branches need fully separate billing and administration.
- Do not reuse one staff user for an entire team.
- Do not mix test and live products in the same active menu.
