When you have 2+ locations, you face a choice: one central system or separate systems per location.
For two or three locations with the same owner, a central system usually wins—the operational benefits outweigh the complexity.
Central system pros: Single source of truth. Customer data in one place. Easier reporting across locations. Staff can see availability everywhere.
Central system cons: More complex to build. Need to handle location-specific rules (hours, services, staff). Migration from existing tools can be painful.
Separate systems pros: Simpler. Each location operates independently. Less risk of one bug affecting everyone.
Separate systems cons: No cross-location visibility. Customer who visits Location A and B? Two profiles. Reporting is manual.
My take: For 2–3 locations with the same owner, central usually wins. The operational benefits outweigh the complexity. For franchises or very different locations, it depends. Start with your reporting and customer experience goals; they'll drive the answer.
