Many admins oversee scheduling for multiple locations. Toast accounts may also include employee data across multiple locations. When you sign up for a new Sling account, you can add multiple locations under a single account or create separate accounts to keep location data fully separate.

This article outlines key factors to help you determine which setup best fits your organization.

Compare Account Structures

You can choose between managing multiple locations within one Sling account or using separate accounts for each location. Each option offers different levels of visibility, control, and customization.

Use a Single Account for Multiple Locations

When you add multiple locations to a single Sling account, you can:

• Apply filters in the Schedule, Timesheets, or Reports to focus on specific locations.
• Clear filters to view all locations at once for a full overview of scheduling needs.
• Compare labor cost details across all locations within scheduling views.
• Allow managers and employees to view schedules across all locations.
• Keep all labor cost data centralized in one account.

Use Separate Accounts for Multiple Locations

When you create separate Sling accounts for each location, you can:

• Set unique time clock rules for each location.
• Configure labor cost details and settings specific to each location.
• Define time-off rules and requirements independently.
• Block time-off requests based on location-specific restrictions.
• Restrict managers from viewing employees at other locations.
• Adjust hours of operation per location.
• Set different overtime and PTO rules for each location.

Additional Considerations

If you create multiple Sling accounts, you can still switch between them without logging out of the app by following the appropriate steps listed in the Sling by Toast: Employee Manual article.  

If you are unsure which setup is best for your organization, contact Sling Support to discuss your needs with a team member.
