What is a branch in F-Biz?

A branch is a location under your business so stock and sales can be tracked per outlet.

When should I add branches?

When you operate more than one physical counter or store and need separate day totals.

Guides / Branches

Manage shop branches

One brand, two locations—Ruiru and Thika, main shop and kiosk. Branches let you tag sales and expenses by site while keeping one business account. Available on Team plan and above.

F-Biz manage branches screen — Add branches, mark a default, and assign sales at checkout.

Branches vs separate businesses

Branches — same owner, same brand, shared catalogue option, split by location
Separate businesses — different ventures, different books (see multiple businesses guide)
Use branches when you compare performance across sites of the same shop

Setup

Upgrade to Team (or Desktop Store / Enterprise) when you have multiple physical locations
Settings → Manage branches → add each site
Mark one branch as default for quick checkout
At Sell, pick branch if the sale happens away from default

Reporting

Filter transactions and reports by branch to see which location earns more—or bleeds stock. Pair with staff setup so each site has its own cashiers on the same plan.
