Use cases
One system, shaped to the work.
Restaurants get the floor, retail gets the stock room, appointment businesses get the calendar. Underneath, all of them run the same payments, customers and books.
Use cases with their own workflows
Restaurants and bars
Tabs, tables and a kitchen that keeps up.
Full service, bars, breweries and food trucks

On the shared core
Payments, scheduling, customers and books, switched on for how you work, with no industry module to learn and nothing claimed that Batch does not keep.
Offices and professional services
Take the card payment at the counter, and let clients book time through your booking page.
Shared core only. Batch has no case, matter or project billing.
Clinics and practices
Patients book with the provider they want, and the front desk reads one day’s numbers.
Shared core only. Batch keeps no patient or clinical records.
Venues and private clubs
Take payment at the door or the bar, keep a member’s history on one profile, and close the night on one report.
Shared core only. Dues billing is set up with the team rather than self-serve.
Across locations
Every location on its own. All of them together.
Stock, drawers and close-outs stay location by location. Roles, customers and the ledger belong to the business, and one subscription covers all of it.
- Roll-up reporting across the business, or one location at a time
- Inventory and stock counts kept location by location
- One role per person, wherever they are rostered
- One general ledger, with the location on every line
- One subscription for the business, not one for each location

Who runs on Batch
If it has a counter, a calendar or a stock room.
The vertical changes what the front end shows. The database, the ledger and the payments underneath do not change at all.
