Searching for a Competitive POS System to Handle Their Operations

In early 2015, Marijuana Paradise was a new dispensary on the block. They had to do diligent research on their operations to ensure that they could both meet Oregon’s regulations, and compete with the local dispensaries. A solid Point of Sale solution is a key way to address both of these concerns. They requested multiple quotes from different POS companies so that they could compare multiple solutions to each other and gain a better understanding of POS in general.

Marijuana Paradise visits Club Sky High for Software Reference

During this time they went to Club Sky High, an established dispensary, to see the POS they were using. Club Sky High recommended CCS POS to Marijuana Paradise as they had been using it for years. The combination of Cafe Cartel’s proven efficiency and affordability moved them to the top of their list. Cafe Cartel’s blind drop functions and management oversight minimizes employee theft and maximizes profitability. With features such as grow tracking, age verification, data encryption and a powerful inventory system, it was clear that CCS was the best point of sale system for dispensaries.

The Magic Dragon - EVape Store

The Magic Dragon - EVape Store

Located in Glenwood Springs, CO is The Magic Dragon. They are a fusion vape and leather biker gear shop. By being situated in Glenwood Springs Mall, loads of shoppers flood the store daily to buy organic e-juices, kits, accessories and colorado glass pipes. This is the bikers one-stop shop as they provide leather jackets, vests and chaps for those who love to ride!

Knowing what to look for

Though The Magic Dragon is a retail store, they’re vape as well - which means their inventory system required something more sophisticated. Inventory should be managed directly via the POS system so it was important for them to find a solution that could accommodate their needs. Many POS providers label their systems as “vape” but further research is needed to determine whether or not the system has modules designed for the vape stores needs besides just the standard retail functions.

Finding a POS as magic as they are

This meant their software could filter their buttons from liquids to brands, to flavors, then by size and strengths. This user-friendly and tidy setup requires minimal data entry and can easily manage huge lists of e-juices on the backend. CCS also handles complex kit and combo pricing in an intuitive way for the user. This makes CCS the business owner’s choice for vendor re-ordering, reporting and reconciling! The choice was easy to make for The Magic Dragon. Within no time, they had their staff trained and their system up and running. Additional features they gained access to were employee time clock, labor scheduling, age verification and QuickBooks integration.

Top Nationwide Wedding Bakery Discovers POS with Custom Cake Building

In 2016, Amaru needed a more proficient Point of Sale system that could handle their custom cake building operations. This proved to be a difficult task since many POS companies don’t provide this option. However, when they discovered Cafe Cartel they found exactly what they needed. CCS comes complete with a custom cake building feature that can price out cake’s tiers from 6" to 18" round and square, and in 2" increments. Next fillings, frostings and decorations can be added to the order. The following video demonstrates this in action:

Scheduling Orders, House Accounts & Catering For Bakeries

CCS also includes catering, house accounts and scheduling as well. Take Production as an example: for bakers using CCS, they start their day with an interactive report that lists the items needing to be made that day and what orders the items belong to. In the report summary, employees can see the items that need to be prepped, the orders that need to be readied and the current inventory count. Items without enough stock will appear in red. This summary dictates to the staff what needs to be completed and by what time in a clear and efficient way. Once the order is readied, a time stamp will be applied and a label can be printed for the prepared product as well. Upon completion of the order, the summary will be updated and the order will be ready for pickup/payment at any time.
