Managing Multiple Locations

If your tourism operation spans multiple locations — different venues, tour departure points, or regional offices — Launchpad helps you manage teams across all of them.

How locations work

Each location in Launchpad can have:

  • Its own team members

  • Specific products and availability

  • Separate booking calendars

  • Individual settings and preferences

Team members can be assigned to one location, multiple locations, or all locations.

Setting up locations

Before managing teams across locations, set up your locations:

- Name — how it appears throughout Launchpad - Address — physical address - Contact details — phone and email - Operating hours — if different from other locations

  • Click Save Location

Repeat for each additional location.

Assigning team members to locations

When inviting a new member

  • Click Invite Team Member

  • Enter their details and role

  • In the Locations section, select which locations they can access:

- Choose specific locations, or - Select "All locations" for organisation-wide access

  • Complete the invitation

For existing team members

  • Find the team member

  • Click on their profile

  • Click Edit Locations

  • Select or deselect locations as needed

  • Click Save Changes

Location access levels

Access level

What they can see

Single location

Only that location's bookings, products, and data

Multiple locations

Selected locations' data, can switch between them

All locations

Organisation-wide access across every location

Roles and locations

Roles interact with locations:

Role

Location access

Owner

Always all locations

Admin

Typically all locations (can be restricted)

Manager

Usually specific locations

Staff

Usually single location

You can customise this based on your needs.

Switching between locations

Team members with multi-location access can switch their current view:

  • Click the location selector in the top navigation

  • Choose the location to work in

  • The dashboard and data update for that location

Some views show combined data from all accessible locations.

Location-specific settings

Each location can have its own:

Products and experiences

  • Products unique to each location

  • Different pricing by location

  • Location-specific availability

Operating hours

  • Different opening times

  • Holiday schedules by location

  • Seasonal variations

Contact details

  • Location-specific phone numbers

  • Different email addresses

  • Individual social media accounts

Managing a team across locations

Creating location managers

For each location, consider having a dedicated manager:

  • Assign Manager role

  • Restrict to that specific location

  • They can handle day-to-day operations independently

Centralised administration

For organisation-wide oversight:

  • Assign Admin role with all-location access

  • They can view and manage across all locations

  • Handle organisation-level settings and team management

Floating staff

For team members who work across locations:

  • Assign multiple locations to their profile

  • They can switch between locations as needed

  • Their schedule can span locations

Common team structures

Hub and spoke

  • Central office with Admin access to all locations

  • Location managers at each site

  • Staff assigned to specific locations

Equal locations

  • Each location has its own Admin

  • Shared Owner oversees all

  • Staff stay within their locations

Roaming team

  • Most staff have multi-location access

  • Scheduling determines where they work each day

  • Admins manage the overall roster

Location reports

View team activity by location:

  • Use the Location filter

  • See team members at that location

  • Review their activity and access

Best practices

Clear boundaries

  • Define which roles need multi-location access

  • Keep staff location access minimal unless they travel between sites

  • Review access when team members change roles

Consistent naming

  • Use clear, distinct location names

  • Include city or region for clarity

  • Avoid abbreviations that might confuse

Regular reviews

  • Quarterly, review location assignments

  • Update when staff transfer between locations

  • Remove access to closed or sold locations

Troubleshooting

Team member can't see a location

  • Check their profile in Settings > Team

  • Verify the location is assigned to them

  • Ensure the location is active (not archived)

Data appearing from wrong location

  • Check the location selector in the top navigation

  • Ensure the correct location is selected

  • Refresh the page if recently changed

Can't add more locations

Check your subscription plan at Settings > Subscription. Some plans limit the number of locations.

Closing or removing a location

If you're closing a location:

  • Reassign team members to other locations

  • Transfer any bookings that need to continue

  • Archive the location in Settings > Locations

  • Historical data is preserved for reporting


Well-organised locations mean your team can work effectively wherever your tourism business operates.
