More tools to grow your business

Take Control of a Complex Product Catalog

Liquor stores carry hundreds of products across dozens of categories — spirits, wine, beer, seltzers, mixers, and accessories. Kern POS tracks every item in real time, flags low stock automatically, and makes receiving new inventory fast and accurate. No more manual counts, no more running out of your best sellers without warning.

Protect Your License at Every Transaction

Kern POS can be configured to prompt for age verification on every applicable sale — so your staff never forgets to check, and you’re always protected. A simple compliance tool that keeps your license safe and your operation responsible.

Keep Your Best Customers Coming Back

Liquor store customers are often creatures of habit — loyalty programs make sure those habits bring them back to you. Reward repeat purchases, offer category-specific promotions, and send targeted offers by text or email. Build a loyal base that grows your revenue without increasing your ad spend.

Know What's Selling and What's Sitting

Kern POS breaks down your sales by category — spirits, wine, beer, and more — so you can see exactly where your margin is coming from and where your shelf space is wasted. Use those insights to buy smarter, price better, and promote what actually moves.

“Managing inventory across hundreds of products used to be a constant headache. Since switching to the right POS setup, we always know what we have, what’s moving, and what we need to order. It runs so much smoother.”
