Pricing
One price per org. Not per location.
Most scheduling tools charge per location or per employee, so labor cost scales with your headcount even when revenue doesn’t. BetterWayIQ flips that: one flat price for your whole organization, regardless of how many shops you run or how big each team gets.

The “per-location” tax is real.
Most competitors charge per location. Run two cafés? Pay double. Three? Triple. We don’t do that.
