Branch Groups
Adding a Branch Group is a prerequisite during the initial system configuration of your cashier
and client application.
Although, the main purpose of creating a branch group is to make things easier for you in terms
of identifying the branches that are corporate-owned and a franchise.
Rule of thumb:
● If the new cafe is affiliated to any of the existing branch group, then you may create a
branch group.
● If the new cafe will not be in any way affiliated to any of the branch group, then you need
to register a new account.
The initial branch group created will be displayed once you click on the Branch Groups button.
As a cafe admin, you have the ability to view, update details and delete existing branch/es.
Note: The only time you will see additional branches is when you have already added branches.
