Launching a new venue or managing a growing group? ROLLER HQ gives you a single account to control products, schedules, staff access, POS and checkout templates across all your venues. You stay in control centrally, while venues keep the local flexibility they need.
HQ add-on subscription
Save time managing multiple venues from HQ. To get started, contact your customer success manager or the support team.

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.
