See Why Liquor Store Owners Love Bottle POS

I’m one of the first of 20 customers to start using the system when it launched. Bottle POS has always been my go-to choice for liquor point of sale. I own four locations, so I love the cloud services and competitive pricing.

Rajendara Patel | Owner of Royal Liquor

Moving away from ASI was kind of intimidating, but Bottle POS took care of everything.

Mitesh Patel | Owner of Ridgewalk Bottle Shop

I come from a software background. I recognize that it was necessary to be able to see more data — and more information and details on the store. Bottle POS was the only one that I found was programmed and coded specifically for that liquor store mindset.

Randy Cook | Owner of Steins and Vines

One of the requirements we were looking for in a POS system was simplicity and how it works with our massive inventory. Literally, with a click of a button, you can upgrade all the inventory to what should be the correct status — and you can change all your pricing.

Ritesh Patel | Owner of Queen City Package

Having a POS system that's specific to liquor stores is unbelievably helpful. Bottle POS helps eliminate challenges on the inventory side. It saves me a ton of time having to fix invoices. Having everything imported into the system is amazing — much easier. Dual pricing has saved us $4,000 to $5,000 a month on credit card fees.

Dave Crisafulli | Manager of Charlie's II

I looked at various POS systems, and while they had good features, none of them offered features like Bottle POS. When you own a liquor store, you want to know what's coming in and how to accurately input it into the system. So, even if certain items are not available in the store, you want to be aware of what you have in stock. Bottle POS covered everything I needed.

Kinnar Patel | Owner of Riverstone Beverage

The reporting feature is wonderful. You can actually do different kinds of reporting, export it out into a spreadsheet, and manage or manipulate it to the level that you want to see.

Stephan Tang | Owner of Duncan Corners Bottle Shop

My favorite feature is auto invoicing. It’s so easy, and you don't have to do a lot of paper work. As soon as the price changes, it pops up right there and has a new tag ready to go. I do recommend Bottle POS, 100%.

Jay Patel | Owner of Dev Liquors
