Running a chain without a shared catalog
Outlets inherit the activity type, not the SKU list. Here is what stays local and what the owner sees across locations.
Why catalogs stay per outlet
A bakery in a mall and a bakery on a high street rarely stock the same tray. Hirah Shop lets each location name its own groups and products so a kiosk is not forced onto the flagship menu.
What the chain still shares
The activity category is locked when you register. New outlets inherit it. Owners switch shops from the nav and open an All Outlets view for combined sales and credit — without merging customer ledgers.
When to upgrade from retail
Start as a Retail Shop if you have one till. When the second location is ready, upgrade to Chain Stores so the next outlet is a sibling, not a second unrelated shop.
