Does Stackably support multiple locations? Yes — multi-location and franchise management is built in

Stackably was originally designed as a franchise solution. One account can run many locations, with settings shared across all locations or kept local to one.

Yes. Stackably offers a robust multi-location management system. Stackably was originally designed as a franchise solution, so running more than one location from a single account is part of how the platform is built, not an add-on.

What multi-location management includes

  • One account, many locations. Owners and head-office staff manage every location from the same Stackably dashboard, while each location runs its own terminals, printers and staff.

  • Shared or local settings. Many settings carry an All Locations or Share Across Locations switch, so you decide what is standard across the brand and what each location controls. Examples: void reasons, loyalty points, memberships.

  • Locking from head office. Items such as membership plans can be locked so other locations can use them but not change them, which is how franchisors keep pricing and offers consistent.

  • Products and menus per location. Each location has its own connected devices, printers and print routing, and menus can be managed centrally and scheduled per location.

  • Customers across locations. With Share Across Locations turned on, a customer's loyalty points follow them to any location in the brand.

  • Reporting per location and across the business. POS reports run per location, and the Finance and Projection tools give the owner the whole picture.

Common questions

Can a franchisor set up a menu once and push it to every location? Yes. Build it centrally and lock what should stay consistent.

Can each location have its own hardware and kitchen printers? Yes. Devices and printers are set up per location, with no limit on printers.

Can one terminal take payments for more than one merchant account? Not today. Each device supports one merchant account (MID), so a location that runs more than one merchant account needs a device for each. A full multi-merchant option is in the works.
