Feature Request: Change locations without logging out

[Bradsfood]

The title of this post has been edited from the original: How to change locations on iPad?

I use the same iPad for different "locations".   The only way I can see to change locations is to log off and then log back in and choose the location I want. Is there a way to change locations while logged in?

My Business has 4 Locations with one Email and Permanent ipads for those locations. we have 2 other ipads for emergencies in case they go down, I know its nitpicky but i would like an option to switch between locations within the same account instead of having to log out and back in to select a new location. Thank You.

this is a long requested and much-needed feature.

Thanks for sharing this request @spdc! I've shared it with our product team that handles location management. We'll share updates as we get them.

It's been 2 years since this thread opened.

As a developer and product manager, I cannot understand why it is taking so long to resolve.

This is a pretty simple fix and would make the usability for many so much better.

@Tommer I don't have an update for you yet. Hopefully we'll have more news to share soon, this is definitely a popular request. Really appreciate your patience in the meantime.

This is really crazy that it has not been addressed yet. It is a simple functionality request, to be able to change locations from the nav menu rather than the cumbersome log out/log in with new location. Can someone please please elevate this? It is particularly difficult with less than technically proficient users and having them go through this process each time. Since it appears to have dropped through the cracks two years ago, can it not be elevated now when the technology and coding is so much more efficient?

We also could really use this feature. Logging off and back on to choose a location is cumbersome and tedious. It would be a huge timesaver to be able to switch locations somewhere while logged in. Hoping to hear this will be rolled out soon.

Any update on this yet? I absolutely applaud you for creating such a great product. It has been a true joy to use and makes it incredibly easy to run a mobile shop. As a Developer, I must say that I really don't understand why you would have a user completely log out in order to change locations. It is an incredible pain point for your users. I'd love to see this fixed as well as I recently ran into this problem and couldn't fathom that the only way to change locations is to log out and then back in again. It just seems like such a huge User Interface miss that seems fixable by simply allowing the users to go back to the original location selection screen. Please elevate this as your customers are longing to continue on the journey of enjoying their usage of your product. Everything else is just so easy to use and has such a great design. I'd love to see this last major piece fixed as it really is cumbersome the way that it currently exists. I wish you the best!

Hi @jjones777, thank you for checking in on this.

I went to look for updates, and there aren't any developments that I can share out right now. So that I can surface a bit more with our product team, can you provide a bit more information on why a quick location switch is important for the devices at your business? Appreciate your patience and insight!
