Absolutely. Our Multi-Venue plan supports 2–4 venues, and our Network Plan supports unlimited venues. Technicians can work across all your venues with a single profile and one login.

How do technicians sign up?

Technicians register for free using the "Tech Sign Up" link. They'll enter your venue's unique Access Code to join your team. Once connected, they can view assignments, submit availability, request swaps, track certifications, and sync gigs to their personal calendars.

Does it handle invoicing and payroll?
