Multi-location operations

# Keep the right people connected to every store.

A multi-business owner model gives franchises and growing teams a way to organize manager access across stores while keeping roles and communication visible.

Account roles, notification channels, and access controls depend on the products and configuration selected for your operation.

A clear account model

## Make store responsibility easier to understand.

When more than one manager is involved, the useful starting point is clarity: which person supports which store, what they need to see, and who reviews the setup.

1. 01

   ### Map account ownership

   Start with the stores and people who need a distinct operational role.

2. 02

   ### Add the right manager

   Create a manager account and give it a role — business owner, administrator, or call center agent.

3. 03

   ### Set communication expectations

   Confirm which order updates and app notifications are relevant to each role.

4. 04

   ### Review access over time

   Mark an account active or inactive, and keep the businesses each owner can reach current.

Managers: filter by role, switch between active and inactive accounts, and pick which businesses a business owner can reach.

Individual communication

## Plan who needs to know when an order arrives.

Set the account updates, email alerts, and app notifications that each manager role needs to receive.

- Which incoming-order updates matter to each role?
- Which managers should be connected to each store?
- Who owns access reviews when teams change?

Review access deliberately

## Keep the account model aligned with the work.

Use changes in ownership, store coverage, or responsibilities as a prompt to review the people connected to the operation. Removal and account-management behavior follow the role permissions you configure.
