# Managing Locations and Plans

Locations are how Boost Back Office knows which shop it is talking about. Every count, order, report, and tablet belongs to one, and each location carries its own plan.

## Open locations

Go to **Account > Locations**. The page opens on **Plan & Billing** and then lists your shops.

![The Locations page with plan and billing summary and a plan per location](https://ikhejtbmenrxkoctpysb.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/kb-screenshots/kb/locations-and-subscriptions/2/1914c763/1-locations-and-subscriptions-locations.png)

The summary at the top tells you what you are running: how many locations on each plan, your total monthly bill, and your next billing date. **Manage in billing portal** takes you to your billing details and payment source.

## Set each location's plan

Plans are chosen per location, not per account, which is the point. Your busy roastery can run on the top plan while the cart down the road stays on the free one, and you only pay for what each shop needs.

Pick the plan on the row for that location. What each plan unlocks shows up immediately in the nav: locked pages carry an upgrade marker rather than disappearing, so you can always see what the next plan up would give that shop.

### Plan seats

Each paid plan carries seats, and every shop you move onto **KDS** or **Pro** takes one. Move a shop back to **Basic** and its seat frees up for another. If they are all spoken for, add one from **Plan & Billing** first — Boost tells you which plan is short rather than failing quietly.

**Nothing paid for and forgotten:** if a seat is not assigned to any shop, Boost calls it out above **Plan & Billing** so it does not sit on your bill unnoticed. The same note appears when a shop is set to **KDS** while the seat you are paying for is a **Pro** one, since a Pro seat does not cover a KDS location.

> \[!NOTE]
> Adding, renaming, and archiving locations, and anything billing-related, is owner or manager only.

## The other columns

- **POS Location** links this shop to the matching location in your POS. Without it, sales cannot be attributed to the right place.
- **Hub?** marks a location that supplies the others, which turns on internal transfers to and from it.
- **New** adds another shop; the archive action in **Actions** retires one you have closed.

> \[!WARNING]
> Archiving a location hides it from the app but keeps its history, so your old reports still make sense. Do not create a fresh location to "start clean" after a refit; you will split that shop's history in two.

## What you should see

One row per shop you actually trade from, each on the plan that matches how it is used, each linked to the right POS location, and a monthly bill you can explain.
