Second Branch POS Cambodia: A Checklist Before You Open Store Two
Opening a second branch is exciting, and it’s also where many good shops start to struggle. The first shop ran on your presence: you knew the stock, you watched the drawer, you trained the staff. The second shop needs to run well when you’re not there.
A second branch POS Cambodia owners can trust doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs a clear plan for five things: your plan limits, prices, stock, staff and reports. Work through this checklist before opening day.
1. Check your plan covers two stores
Plans are built around stores, staff accounts and devices. Basic covers 1 store, 2 staff accounts and 2 devices. Standard covers up to 2 stores, 4 staff accounts and 5 devices. Premium covers up to 7 stores, 11 staff accounts and 15 devices. Count the people and devices both shops will need, then pick the plan that fits. See Which POS Plan Is Right for Your Business.
2. Decide your prices
Will both branches charge the same? A branch in a busy area may need different prices from a quiet one. MyLekha lets you set different price levels for different stores, so each location uses the right price automatically. See Multiple Price Levels on a POS.
3. Plan your opening stock
Decide what the new branch needs, then move or buy it. MyLekha records purchases and transfers between stores, so every unit that arrives or moves is on record. See Stock Purchases and Transfers on a POS. Run an inventory count when the stock arrives, so the system matches the shelf from day one.
4. Set up staff the right way
Give every person their own login, and decide what each role can see and do at each store. A cashier in Branch 2 shouldn’t need access to every number in Branch 1. See Employee Management and Access Control. If you’re hiring, see New Cashier Training: A Day-One Guide.
5. Prepare your cash routine
Each branch should open and close its own shifts, so every drawer has an owner. See Shift and Cash Management.
6. Set up your reports
Before opening, decide what you’ll check and when. Reports can be filtered by date, store and staff, so you can compare the two branches side by side. The MyLekha Dashboard lets you check both from your phone. See The 2-Minute Dashboard Check.
7. Test the hardware
Check the receipt printer, scanner, cash drawer and internet at the new location before opening. Since MyLekha is a cloud POS, the new shop needs a reliable data connection. See Choosing the Right POS Hardware.

When it’s working
After the first month, use the Month-End POS Checklist on each branch, then compare them. You’ll quickly see which shop sells more, which needs more stock, and where to put your attention.
Conclusion
Growth is easier when each branch runs on the same rules. Plan your prices, stock, staff and reports before the doors open, and your second shop can run well even when you’re not standing in it. For the bigger picture, read Multi-Store POS Cambodia.
