Warehouse Management is a Nightclubs management application in Grand Theft Auto Online introduced as part of the After Hours update.
Description[]
After completing the initial setup of the player's Nightclub, access is provided to the management computers in the office and warehouse levels.
The Warehouse Management section allows the player to allocate warehouse technicians to each of their existing illicit businesses. The seven goods types are classified by the type of business and are only available if the player already owns the corresponding business.
- Cargo and Shipments (CEO Office Special Cargo Warehouse or Smuggler's Hangar)
- Sporting Goods (Gunrunning Bunker)
- South American Imports (M/C Cocaine Lockup)
- Pharmaceutical Research (M/C Methamphetamine Lab)
- Organic Produce (M/C Weed Farm)
- Printing & Copying (M/C Document Forgery Office)
- Cash Creation (M/C Counterfeit Cash Factory)
If a player does not already own the required business, the warehouse goods will be locked.
Initially, one staff member, Yohan, is available to allocate to any one of the seven possible goods types. Four more technicians can be hired and assigned to goods accumulation allowing for up to five of the seven possible goods types to be accrued simultaneously. Only one tech can be assigned to each goods type so the player should only hire techs for the number of business they own. Further technicians can be hired for:
- Yohan: Free with setup.
- Tech 2 $141,000
- Tech 3 $184,500
- Tech 4 $240,500
- Tech 5 $312,000
- Total: $878,000
Players can reassign their tech to other goods types at any time, so a single tech can still produce a full warehouse over a long period of time.
Production and storage[]
Once a technician is allocated to a category of goods, they will accrue those goods automatically with no further input from the player. Unlike running those businesses themselves, no supplies will need to be sourced or purchased.
All functionality is available in every session type (online, invite-only, etc.) as of The Criminal Enterprises update.
Depending on the upgrades purchased with the club, the amount of crates of goods that can be held in stock and the rate of production will vary. The club comes with one warehouse floor by default and each subsequent floor doubles that storage capacity. The equipment upgrade option doubles the production rates for each of the goods.
With the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S releases of Grand Theft Auto Online, Goods related to Motorcycle Club Businesses, such as Cash Creation and Organic Produce, pay 35% more from their original value. The 1.59 update on April 26, 2022 later added this updated value to the PC and Enhanced Edition versions.[1]

Business Battles[]
When there are three or more players in a free-mode session (Can also be an Invite-Only session), the player can engage in Business Battles to gain additional stock for their club. This stock is not restricted to the types of businesses the player owns, enabling them to acquire goods they cannot otherwise produce themselves.
Stash Houses[]
Successfully raiding a Stash House can also re-supply random club warehouse stock.
Stealing Goods[]
Added in The Criminal Enterprises update, the player can call Yohan to start a Nightclub Goods steal mission. Much like Business Battles, this enables players to stock up on goods they do not own the business to produce themselves.
Selling goods[]
Sell goods produced by the warehouse techs. The goods can be sold by type, by special order or selling total inventory.
Street Dealers[]
Small amounts of warehouse drug supplies (South American Imports, Pharmaceuticals and Organic Produce) can be sold direct to Street Dealers.
