# Managing Branches

> Multiple locations under one DishInk account with independent staff, tables, and inventory.

Manage multiple branches from a single DishInk account. Each branch has its own POS, staff, tables, inventory, and reports — while sharing menus, brand, and analytics.

## Overview

A branch is a physical location. DishInk supports unlimited branches with:

* Independent floor plans and staff
* Independent inventory and stock
* Shared menu structure (with per-branch overrides for price and availability)
* Unified reporting across all or selected branches

## Add a branch

<Note>
  Owners can enable **Group Mode** to view every branch as one aggregated report while still drilling into any single branch.
</Note>

## Tips & best practices

<Tip>
  Standardise setup across branches. Consistent categories, modifier names, and staff roles make group reporting meaningful.
</Tip>

## Common mistakes

<Warning>
  Do not fork menus per branch unless required. Small variations bloat maintenance — use per-branch price/availability overrides instead.
</Warning>
