FAQ

Specialty Foods & Wine POS Questions

When an age-restricted item like wine or spirits is scanned, the system automatically prompts the cashier to verify the customer's age before completing the sale. Staff can scan a driver's license or manually enter the date of birth. The system calculates age instantly and blocks the sale if the customer is underage. Every verification is logged for compliance auditing.

You can create multiple membership tiers with different benefits, pricing, and selection frequencies. The system automates monthly or quarterly wine selections based on member preferences, processes recurring billing, and tracks pickup or shipment status. Members receive notifications when their selections are ready, and you can view member engagement reports to identify at-risk members before they cancel.

Our perishable inventory module tracks expiration dates at the lot level and supports FIFO (first in, first out) rotation. The system generates alerts when items approach their sell-by date, giving you time to markdown, relocate, or remove them. Spoilage reports help you identify patterns and adjust purchasing to reduce waste over time.

Yes. You can create tasting events with ticket pricing, capacity limits, and online or in-store registration. After the event, the system tracks which attendees made purchases, so you can measure conversion rates and follow up with targeted promotions to turn tasting visitors into loyal customers.

Absolutely. Our gift basket module lets you build custom orders by selecting individual components -- wines, cheeses, charcuterie, specialty items -- and the system calculates the total cost including assembly and packaging. You can track order status from creation through fulfillment, manage delivery or pickup scheduling, and save popular basket configurations as templates for the holiday season.
