Hi @DyebyDawn, are these 2 completely different businesses? I would recommend that, if they are separate businesses, you simply start a second account for the other business. If they are under the same business, then you can create a second location. This will allow you to control different variables at the other location and its own reporting. You can do this even if they are different businesses, but I find that it can get muddy when dealing with taxes and such.

If the businesses are two separate legal entities I think there may be a requirement to keep them separate, always best to keep most things separate in this case, bank accounts etc. If its the same business selling the same products it may make sense to operate with one account with two locations. You can then manage stock levels either as a whole or via each location if you have products unique to each location these can also be managed. It becomes a whole lot easier. The Square system is well thought out for this and handles this kind of thing really well!
