Most cannabis POS systems are built first and integrate payments, finance, and loyalty as afterthoughts — usually through third-party vendors that don't talk to each other. Salt POS is the opposite. It's part of a single operating system that already handles payments, financing, and loyalty for some of the highest-volume dispensaries in the country. That means faster checkout, unified reporting across every part of your business, and a support team that can actually solve problems end-to-end instead of pointing you at someone else's vendor. You're not stitching four contracts together — you're running one platform built by a team that understands cannabis retail because we operate inside it every day.

Yes. Salt POS is built for the regulatory reality of cannabis retail, with METRC integration. Compliance updates roll out as state rules change, so your team isn't scrambling when a regulator adjusts limits or reporting requirements. We currently support dispensaries in 14 different states, and our compliance team monitors regulatory shifts across every market we operate in. If your state has unique requirements — local tax structures, delivery rules, medical vs. adult-use distinctions — Salt POS handles them at the register so your budtenders don't have to think about it.

Both — and that's intentional. Salt POS is the same platform whether you run one store or one hundred. Single-location operators get an enterprise-grade system without enterprise complexity or pricing. MSOs get the multi-location infrastructure they actually need: centralized reporting across stores and states, role-based permissions, consolidated inventory visibility, and unified menu management. Some of the largest chains in the country already run on Salt, so the system is proven at scale. Since pricing and onboarding are tailored to your size, you don't pay for features built for a 50-location operator if you run a single shop.

Salt POS runs on modern, cannabis-ready hardware — terminals, barcode scanners, receipt printers, and cash drawers — that we deploy and configure as part of onboarding. In most cases, you can keep compatible existing equipment (especially scanners, printers, and cash drawers), which keeps switching costs low. Our team reviews your current setup during the application process and tells you exactly what carries over and what needs to be replaced.

This is where the platform advantage shows up. Since Salt POS, Payments, Finance, and Loyalty all run on the same infrastructure, they work together automatically — no integrations to configure, no data silos, no reconciliation headaches. For operators currently running separate vendors for each of these, the consolidation usually pays for itself in time saved alone.
