Structure Data NoSQL

I'm quite new to NoSQL, that's why I come here to get your opinions.

I'm trying to understand if it's better to use nested object or subcollections in a specific case. I will try to explain my case.

I have to store several shops in my Db. Each shop will have an address, a phone number etc... So I have a Collection "Shop" and inside several Documents representing the shops. Now, my shops have some contacts (2,3 or 4 employees for example). My question is, what should I do :

objectContact: { name: "Georges", age: 20.... }

Which is the better ? Does one of this two solutions disable some tools/queries in NoSQL ? Does one of this two solutions is faster when it comes to write/read the data ?

Thanks in advance,

Currently, all the queries in the cloud firestore are shallow which means you can't get the subcollection with its collection.You have read it separately. So I would recommend you to store it in a nested document. But it has few limitations though. Check this link for detailed explanation of modelling data in cloud firestore
