Locations & Sublocations
Understanding how locations and sublocations define the physical and operational structure of a business within Tiquo
Locations and sublocations define the physical and operational structure of a business within Tiquo.
A location represents the overall venue or destination, while sublocations represent the individual operational environments where services are delivered and transactions occur.
This structure allows businesses to manage multiple operational areas within a single venue.
Locations
A location represents a venue or destination where a business operates.
Examples include:
- Hotel
- Private members club
- Wellness center
- Office building
- Entertainment venue
A location provides the overarching structure that contains sublocations.
Location settings typically include information such as:
- Address
- Country
- Timezone
Organizations can operate multiple locations while maintaining a shared platform environment.
Sublocations
A sublocation represents a unique operational environment within a location.
Each sublocation can offer its own combination of services and products and operates as its own transactional environment.
Examples of sublocations include:
- Restaurant
- Bar
- Spa
- Retail shop
- Hotel accommodation
- Coworking space
Sublocations allow different areas of the same venue to operate independently while remaining part of the same organization.
Example Structure
Location: Members Club
Sublocations:
- Restaurant A
- Restaurant B
- Restaurant C
- Main Bar
- Hotel
- Spa
Each sublocation manages its own operational setup.
What Exists Within a Sublocation
Most operational components of the platform are configured at the sublocation level.
These include:
- Products
- Services
- Inventory
- Bookings
- Orders
This allows each sublocation to operate independently with its own offerings and workflows.
Services and Products in Sublocations
A single sublocation can offer both services and products.
Example:
Location: Wellness Center Sublocation: Spa
The Spa sublocation may include:
Services:
- Massage Appointment
- Facial Treatment
Products:
- Herbal Tea
- Face Cream
- Massage Oil
This allows both services and retail items to be sold within the same operational environment.
Why Sublocations Are Used
Sublocations help organize businesses that operate multiple offerings within a single location.
They allow different areas of a business to:
- Maintain their own product catalogs
- Manage their own services
- Track their own orders
- Control their own inventory
This ensures operational workflows remain clear and organized.
Orders and Sublocations
Orders are associated with a specific sublocation.
This ensures transactions are tied to the operational environment where the purchase occurred.
Example:
Order:
- Massage Appointment (Spa sublocation)
- Herbal Tea (Spa sublocation)
- Face Cream (Spa sublocation)
Operational Independence
Each sublocation can operate independently while still being part of the same location.
Example:
Location: Members Club
Sublocations:
- Restaurant
- Bar
- Spa
- Hotel
Each of these may have:
- Different services
- Different products
- Different inventory resources
This structure allows complex venues to manage multiple business operations within a single platform.
