Before you start

Make sure you have the following before setting up HQ:

  • An active ROLLER HQ account with administrator permissions.

  • At least one managed venue already created or ready to be created.

  • A clear idea of which products, schedules and staff settings you want to manage centrally vs. locally.

New to HQ? See the guide HQ glossary.

What HQ gives you

  • Centralized control – Manage products, pricing, schedules, staff access and more from one HQ account, then share changes across any number of venues.

  • Unified visibility – See performance, reporting and booking insights for all your venues in one dashboard.

  • Bulk updates and efficiency – Apply product updates, price rules or schedule changes across venues in minutes — reducing the time spent on making manual updates in each managed venue.

  • Consistent templates – Create HQ POS and checkout menus once in HQ, then provide access to managed venues. Changes auto-sync to venues on save.

  • Built for your growth – Whether you're running 2 venues or 100, HQ keeps things simple, scalable and secure.
