Manage Your Square for Franchises Location Groups

With Square for Franchises, location groups organise your locations into a specific order. You can group locations by geographic area, franchise owner, or another way that works for your business. A location group is connected to a list of locations or additional restaurant groups called location subgroups.

You can create, edit, and delete location groups and view location group reporting from your Square for Franchises dashboard.
