Run your repair stores in a shared account

Each store's tickets, register and stock belong to its counter. Customer history is shared across locations, staff access is assigned by store, and the Stores dashboard shows the operation together.

Settings lists the stores with their addresses, phone numbers and setup status. The owner switches stores in the sidebar, then opens the Stores dashboard to compare collected revenue and invoice counts.

Each counter has its own operating location

    Owners and people with billing permission can add stores in Locations settings. Setup includes the cost review, store details and a checklist to complete.

Operations across company-owned stores

Local performance reports, parts transfers and shared customer details support work across counters.

Performance by store

Sort stores by revenue, ticket activity or turnaround. Register and low-stock alerts flag work to review. A store's report opens with its location already selected.

Stock transfers with receiving history

Each location has its own stock count. Log parts as sent and received, or review suggested transfers that match shortages with stock elsewhere.

Customer history across counters

Customer records and repair history are shared within the workspace for staff with access to review. Individual tickets retain their operating location.

Contact details for each store

Keep each store's address, phone and email in Locations settings. Receipts and drop-off receipts use these details; emails, texts and invoice PDFs use the business profile's contact details.

Filter appointments by store

In Calendar, switch the store filter from All stores to one store to see its appointments for the day.

Location details for staff and customers

Work at the selected store

Staff select an authorized location for intake and checkout. Owners can review store totals together and open an individual location's report for the details.

Store details on drop-off receipts

At check-in, the drop-off receipt shows the store's address and phone beneath the shop's name, along with the customer's ticket number, device and reported issue.

Multi-store pricing and workspace access

Multi-store operations require Business, billed monthly per store with every Business feature included, while Standard and Pro cover a single store.

Compare plans
How much does each additional store cost?

At US list pricing, Business costs $149 a month for the first store and $79 a month for each additional store. Every store receives the Business features. Warehouse locations are free and cannot operate a register.

How do I limit an employee to selected stores?

Assign stores and a role at each in Settings → Team & Access. Owners can always open every store; admins with no assignments can too. Other staff with no assignments can open every store only while nobody in the shop has store assignments. Once anyone has assignments, those staff cannot open any store.

What happens to open repairs when I deactivate a store?

BenchKey checks for open tickets and upcoming appointments. You choose another active store to receive that work, and reassignment finishes before the original location is deactivated.

When can I add more stores after choosing Business?

Business includes multi-store operations, but adding stores may not yet be enabled for your account. If Locations is missing under Business settings, open Help and choose Talk to a person to check availability.
