# Location

### Location

The Back-Office allows to have different Locations for the Inventory system if you are using the Multiple Location option. For example, you might have liquor behind the bar that the bartender is using. You might have another storage location that is near the bar and easy for the bartender to access. You might also have a huge storeroom in the back of restaurant where the bulk of your liquor inventory. The Inventory system allows you to track the inventory in all 3 locations.

The Location option allows to manage different storage locations in the restaurant. For example, in a hotel, you could have 3 different bars, the Lounge, the Discotheque, and the Sport Bar. Each of these could be a different Location. You can set up to 30 different Locations. For each Location you have to enter a description and select a Department.
