Specialized Challenges Need Specialized Solutions
Running a specialty retail business isn’t exactly one-size-fits-all, your POS system should be ready to meet those specific demands. Whether you’re running a drive-through liquor store, a tasting lounge, or a hybrid setup, flexibility and integration are key.
Streamlined Operations, All in One System

You can set up multiple locations in the system and switch between them effortlessly. That way, your lounge and retail inventory stay cleanly separated. Sales patterns can vary a lot between those spaces, so do yourself a favor and keep them distinct in your database.
Smart Inventory & SKU Tracking
Track bottle sizes, cases, and mixes with ease. With detailed SKU tracking, you’ll never confuse a 750ml with a 1.75L again. With automated inventory alerts for min/margin calculations, you’ll always know what’s running low or not moving. Be in the know with what your customers want and when.

Built-In Compliance & Age Verification
Avoid costly violations by integrating age verification right at checkout. LiquorPoint makes compliance seamless, and Mariner can help you implement Gemalto Double-Sided ID Scanners to make the process even easier.

Forecast Trends & Automate Promotions
Use sales data to anticipate demand and automate discounts based on purchasing trends. Save time and boost profits. Customer Zoom in the dashboard gives your staff the ability to create a customer profile to view recent purchases, documents, trends, etc. LiquorPoint’s reports will clearly show you top-selling products or slow movers. This can give insight into your marketing tactics and promotions. Mariner also helps your business integrate digital shelf tags into your store. Prices can be updated automatically based on promotional sales, holidays, specials, etc.
Customer Loyalty That Actually Works
Give your loyal shoppers the VIP treatment with perks like points, discounts, or early access. With Customer Zoom, purchase history is automatically tracked and applied through your POS. Empower your staff, don’t make more work for them. This data doesn’t just power loyalty programs, it also helps with targeted marketing. Knowing where a customer is in their buyer journey means you can reach out with relevant and timely messages. For example, if a customer tends to make a big purchase around the holidays, there’s a good chance they’re hosting a party. Use that insight to send a reminder or a tailored promotion. Remember, you’re not just selling, you’re building a relationship. Learn more about how to retain customer loyalty HERE.
Manage Your Team with Confidence
Employee PINs, time tracking, and role-based permissions make scheduling and accountability straightforward and secure. LiquorPoint includes a built-in time clock for accurate hourly tracking, plus detailed employee reports that show sales by person, item, or category. Say you’re running a holiday contest to see who can sell the most eggnog; just pull up the sales history by employee and see who’s leading. You can also spot your top performers over time or find out who might need a little coaching. Each activity in the system is time-stamped and tied to a specific user, so you always know who did what. If needed, you can even lock workstations or cash drawers by employee for added accountability. Also know who to staff and when, like when there’s going to be a holiday rush you can make sure to schedule your top performers.
