Run many outlets from one account
Your restaurants, cafes, kiosks and shops can sit under one organization. Each outlet keeps its own plan, license and devices. You get one place to switch, compare and pay.
What an organization is
An organization is your business, with all its outlets under it. You make it once from your RestroPod account. Then you add outlets, invite people, and see your whole business in one place.
Outlet types
- Own outlet
- Kiosk
- Cloud kitchen
- Warehouse or godown
- Other
- Franchise: an outlet owned by someone else, linked to you by invitation
Each outlet has a name, a code, a manager name and phone, a city and an address. Two outlets in one organization cannot share a name, so add the area, for example Sharma Sweets, Palasia.
Switch between outlets
A switcher in the top bar opens any of your own outlets. Its dashboard, plan page and downloads then show that outlet.
See all outlets together
- Sales, orders, average bill and tax for every outlet, and in total
- Charts and a table to compare outlets
- Choose the dates you want to look at
This combined view uses Cloud Reporting. An outlet whose plan includes Cloud Reporting sends a daily summary, and its totals appear here. The summary has totals only. No customer names or phone numbers leave the outlet.
Who pays for an outlet
- Head office pays: the invoice is made out to your organization, with its legal name and GSTIN.
- The outlet pays itself: the invoice uses the outlet’s own billing details.
You choose this outlet by outlet, and you can change it later. Only new invoices change.
Pay once for several outlets
Chain offers, when we have them, are applied by themselves if your organization qualifies.

- 4Get an invoice for eachEach outlet renews on its own plan and has its own invoice.
Invoices and GST
Invoices for outlets that head office pays are made out to your organization. When GST applies, the invoice shows the taxable amount and the CGST and SGST, or the IGST, by the state on the invoice.
People who need to see reports
Accountants, partners and area managers can get read-only access to the outlets you choose.
Close or delete an outlet
- Close an outlet when it shuts. Its invoices and reports stay, and you can open it again.
- An outlet with a running plan can be closed after the plan ends.
- Delete is only for an outlet that was never used.
Restaurants and shops
It works the same way for Restaurant POS and Store POS.
Your data
Each outlet’s bills, stock and customers stay on that outlet’s own computer. The organization sees summaries, not the bills.
