Locations
Locations are physical Metrognome facilities—the buildings where customers come to use studios. Each location has its own address, timezone, pricing rates, and Stripe account. This guide covers managing locations in the staff dashboard.
Finding Locations
Go to Staff → Locations to see all facilities.
From the list:
- Use the search bar to find by name or address
- Use filters to narrow down:
- Type — Metrognome, Venue, Retail, or Competitor
- Status — Active, Inactive, Maintenance, or Coming Soon
Click any row to open the location detail page.
Creating a Location
Go to Staff → Locations and click Add.
