Opening a second branch
A second branch doubles the opportunity and more than doubles the admin. The biggest change is that you can no longer see everything with your own eyes, so your systems have to see it for you.
Before you open
| Area | What to decide |
|---|---|
| Stock | How stock is split between branches, and who reorders for each |
| Prices | Whether both branches sell at the same prices |
| Staff | Who is in charge at the new branch, and who can do refunds |
| Cash | How each branch cashes up and banks, and how you will check it remotely |
| Reporting | Which numbers you will look at daily, per branch |
| Funding | How the fit-out and opening stock will be paid for |
Managing a branch you are not standing in
Agree a short daily routine: takings by payment method, any cash-up variance, low-stock lines and the day’s best sellers. If those numbers come from the till rather than a phone call, you can manage the branch from anywhere.
Branches on Revoluno
Add a branch to your existing Revoluno account: it shares your product catalogue, keeps its own stock, and reports separately, so you can compare branches side by side from any device. Merchants can also apply for a business loan in the portal, assessed on their Revoluno sales history.
