Best POS Systems for Liquor Stores

  • High-Performance Hardware: Process transactions on durable POS hardware  purpose-built for high-volume retail POS environments like beverage retailers with bright responsive touch screen displays, ergonomic design, solid cash drawers, reliable receipt printers, and lightning-fast scanning for maximum efficiency.
  • Mobile Solutions: Manage inventory anywhere in your liquor stores with handheld devices that scan products for inventory and cycle counts, ordering and receiving,  updating prices, and and refresh shelf labels throughout your retail space.
  • Accept All Payment Types: Cash, credit, debit, contactless payments, gift cards, and digital wallets – all supported by your liquor store pos software to keep customers happy and lines moving.
  • Secure Processing: PCI-compliant integrated payment processing with Pinpads installed by qualified QIR-Certified technicians, and data encryption protect your business operations while you confidently start accepting payments.
  • Built-In Online Ordering means that there is one single database for inventory, customer tracking, loyalty, prices changes, and order management. No messy inventory interfaces that have to be constantly upgraded and maintained, and no 3rd parties to manage the online ordering infrastructure, providing a seamless end-to-end solution for the most frictionless e-commerce strategy in the industry.
  • Click & Collect Handheld: Catapult has one of the most powerful click and collect applications in the industry. The mobile application runs on a tablet and enables online order picking anywhere in the store. The employee scans as they go managing multiple orders simultaneously, picking items in a systemic way rather than running back and forth inefficiently in the store. Staff can communicate with customers to offer substitutions when necessary, add and remove items when customers change their minds, print bag tags and store orders, and notify customers when the orders are ready. The mobile device can also be used for convenient curbside pick-up or “back door” pickups and returns, for larger purchases like restaurant and event orders.
  • Local Delivery & Shipping API: For customers that are looking for local delivery, you can manage delivery zones by painting the various areas where delivery is possible and set applicable pricing rates for delivery based on your order minimum. For greater distances, liquor store merchants can leverage the ShipStation API interface to provide regional, provincial, and even national shipping to customers wherever they are located!
  • Real-Time Inventory Tracking: Monitor stock levels across thousands of wine, beer, and spirits SKUs while reducing opportunity cost due to stockouts with AI assisted automatic reorder systems and supplier integration. The Artificial Intelligence measures demand across the thousands of SKUs in the store and accurately reduces dead inventory to put more money in your pocket so you can invest in the right inventory, significantly changing the profit & loss curve of your inventory investment.
  • Mobile Inventory Terminal: Reduce labor costs and boost efficiency by doing cycle counts, purchase orders, receiving, price changes, and updating shelf labels wirelessly from anywhere in your store using our powerful mobile inventory management app.
  • Comprehensive Customer Tracking: Build detailed customer profiles with unlimited contact information, purchase history, and loyalty points to create personalized experiences that keep customers returning.
  • Analytics & Insights: Track sales trends and customer buying patterns to make informed decisions about inventory, promotions, and business growth strategies.
  • Built-in Age Verification: Verify age automatically with Canadian ID scanning that ensures compliance with provincial alcohol sale regulations and helps prevent underage sales.
  • Transaction Compliance Logging: Every age verification gets recorded in your liquor store pos database, providing audit trails to protect your liquor store operations from regulatory issues.
  • Flexible Pricing System: Handle single bottles, six-packs, cases, and mix-and-match pricing with ease using our sophisticated promotion engine built specifically for the liquor industry.
  • Automated Discounts: Set up quantity discounts, BOGO offers, and time-based sales that activate automatically to drive more sales and improve customer experience. Apply daily, weekly, and monthly price changes, apply timed offers, promotions, coupons, automatically without any human intervention!
  • Automated Price Changes: Create worksheets that enable automatic price changes at a future date and time without you having to be there! Import entire price change lists, or build them one item at a time for smaller changes.
