Using AskBiz POS Across Multiple Locations

Each AskBiz POS instance is tied to your account via the owner_id. If you run multiple locations — two shops, a market stall and a showroom, or permanent premises plus pop-ups — each location's staff log in with their own magic links and process sales independently. All transactions flow into your single AskBiz account, tagged by location.

To set up a second location, go to Settings → POS → Locations → Add Location. Name it, assign staff, and optionally set a location-specific product catalogue if pricing or stock differs between sites.

Staff members are assigned to one or more locations. A cashier at your High Street shop cannot accidentally log into your market stall POS unless you assign them to both. This keeps access controlled and performance metrics accurate.

To move a staff member between locations (e.g. for holiday cover), go to Settings → POS → Staff → [name] → Locations and tick the additional location. Their magic link will now work at both sites. Remove the tick when the cover period ends.

By default, your AskBiz dashboard shows consolidated data across all locations. To drill down, use the Location filter on any dashboard widget or ask the AI: 'What was revenue at the High Street shop last week?'

You can also create location-specific dashboards — useful if you have a manager per site who only needs to see their own numbers. Go to Dashboards → Create Dashboard, add your widgets, and set the default location filter. Share each dashboard with the relevant manager.

Each location maintains its own stock levels. A product can be in stock at one location and out of stock at another. Low-stock alerts are triggered per location, so you restock where it is needed.

If you transfer stock between locations, update the quantities manually in POS → Inventory → [product] → Adjust Stock at both the source and destination. A stock transfer feature that automates this is on the roadmap.
