What do real liquor store owners say?

Santé reviews

Since Santé is such a new provider, they don’t have public reviews on sites like Trustpilot, Software Advice, or Google Reviews.

Instead, they’ve published testimonials from current customers on their website. These testimonials frequently mention how Santé saves time and simplifies processes

Bottle POS Reviews

Bottle POS has a 4.6-star rating on Trustpilot, with reviews from 680 liquor store owners (as of January 2026). 

Reviewers rave about friendly customer support, short wait times, and the liquor-specific design of the software.

Onboarding & support:
Santé vs. Bottle POS

Transitioning to a new POS system can be overwhelming for you and your customers
— but the right support and resources can make all the difference. 
KORONA POS

Santé

Santé promises a quick and easy setup process. Their support team is available to help you import your data, explore the features, and learn the system by making a few sample transactions.

However, it's important to keep in mind that Santé was only founded in 2023, so they’re relatively new to supporting liquor stores and understanding industry-specific challenges. 

Superior Customer Support

Bottle POS
