For licensed THC & CBD retailers
Cannabis retail is hard.
Staffing it shouldn’t be.
BevTek answers every call, trains every new budtender, and guides every customer to the right product — with age screening, dose ceilings, and state-specific rules baked in.
Live demo runs against our pilot beverage store, but the cannabis flow runs the same engine — ask her to explain age screening, dose ceilings, or how she handles a brand-new customer.
The three problems that cost dispensaries the most.
We’ve listened to dispensary directors describe the same three pains in every state. The existing point solutions don’t cross them — BevTek does.
One bad audit can close the store.
Age-verification logs, dose ceilings per transaction, packaging rules, METRC reconciliation — every one of them is a separate paper trail. Miss one, and the next inspection can pull your license. You can't outsource that risk to a part-time budtender.
Your best budtender just quit. Again.
Cannabis retail churns budtenders at multiples of liquor floor staff. It takes weeks for a new hire to know the difference between an indica and a hybrid, and longer to recommend dose responsibly. Until they do, every customer gets pointing and shrugging.
First-time customers are afraid of you.
Half your foot traffic has never bought legal cannabis. They walk in nervous, ask the wrong questions, leave with the wrong product, and never come back. The cost of a bad first experience is permanent — and most of it could've been answered before they reached the counter.
The four employees every cannabis store needs.
Compliance, education, customer flow, and the back office — BevTek gives you a teammate for each. The same four employees and the same plans as every BevTek store; only Megan's training is cannabis-specific.
Megan
The trainer
Your best budtender just quit — again.
Megan turns a brand-new hire into someone who can talk cannabinoids, terpenes, and compliant guidance in their first week. A full 50-module cannabis curriculum — flower, edibles, vapes, concentrates, consultative selling, and state-tagged compliance — same trainer, same plans, same price as every BevTek store.
Gabby
Receptionist + shopper assistant
Half your callers have never bought legal cannabis.
Gabby answers every call 24/7 with a hard age gate before a single product is named. She reads your live menu, respects dose ceilings, holds products for pickup, and logs every screening response for audit defense.
Margie
The analyst
You're flying blind on what's actually selling.
Margie watches your POS around the clock. Every morning at 6am she emails you what's moving, what's stuck on the shelf, and the one play worth running today — no spreadsheets required.
Brandi
The marketer
Marketing is hard when half the ad channels say no.
Hand Brandi a product and she makes the in-store flyer and menu. Hand her your month and she writes the newsletter for your opted-in customers. On-brand promos built from your real menu — print it, post it, send it.
Compliance, documented automatically
Audits don’t care that you meant to log it.
Every cannabis state has its own compliance checklist. BevTek tracks completion, renews annually, and produces a clean export when the regulator shows up — without your manager spending a Sunday rebuilding paperwork.
Age verification on every call
Gabby asks for date of birth before discussing specific products, logs the response with a timestamp, and exports the trail for audit defense.
State-specific dose ceilings
Per-transaction limits vary by state and customer status (medical vs adult use). Gabby and the in-store shopper respect them automatically.
Budtender training attestation
Every module a staff member completes is timestamped, signed by the manager, and exportable as a single PDF when the inspector asks.
Annual renewal reminders
State-mandated certifications expire. We email your manager 30 days before each one — no surprise lapses, no scrambling.
Conservative-by-default recommendations
When in doubt — first-time customer, ambiguous question — Gabby errs on the lowest-dose option and routes the conversation to a human.
No off-menu recommendations, ever
Gabby reads from your live POS feed. If a product isn’t on the menu, she can’t mention it — eliminating an entire class of compliance miss.
Hardware
Use the iPads and phones you already have.
BevTek runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android. No kiosks to install, no proprietary hardware to maintain. The QR codes print on regular paper. Your phone line stays exactly where it is — we route through it.
Want to mount a tablet by the consultation chair for first-time customers? Use the iPad you already have. Want customers to scan with their own phone? Put a QR on the door. Same Gabby on both.
POS Integrations
Reads your live menu from your existing POS.
Menu sync, dose data, hold confirmations — all run through your POS’s API. We integrate with the cannabis-retail standards: Dutchie, Treez, Flowhub, LeafLogix, Cova, and the other major dispensary platforms. CSV upload covers anything else.
Don’t see your POS? Email integrations@bevtek.ai with the name and we’ll prioritize it. Most dispensary POS APIs follow similar patterns — new integrations typically ship in 1–2 weeks.
Pricing
Less than the cost of one compliance miss.
The same plans as every BevTek store — only Megan’s training changes for cannabis. And it’s less than a single age-verification lapse, which averages a four-figure fine in most states before you even count the misadvised first-time customer who never comes back.
Charter pricing

What dispensary operators ask first.
Will Gabby ever pretend to be a human?
No. If a customer asks, she identifies as the store’s AI assistant. She also captures their name and number, so the conversation can hand off to a real budtender when needed.
Can Gabby actually screen for age?
Yes. Before she discusses specific products, she asks for date of birth and logs the response with a timestamp. The trail exports as a single PDF when an inspector asks. We treat that screening as the hard gate — she won’t name a product without it.
What if she recommends an out-of-stock product?
She can’t. Gabby reads from your live POS menu. If it’s not on tonight’s menu, it doesn’t exist as far as she’s concerned — she’ll either suggest the closest in-stock alternative or take a callback request.
What about state-specific dose limits?
Per-transaction caps vary by state and by customer status (medical vs adult use). We respect them in both the voice flow and the in-store shopper. The store configures the rule set once during onboarding; we keep it current as states update.
Is BevTek SOC2 / HIPAA compliant?
We’re SOC2 in process. HIPAA isn’t typically required for adult-use retail, but we treat medical card data with healthcare-grade handling. Happy to share the data-flow doc on request.
Will Gabby talk about federal cannabis law?
She stays in her lane. She handles product, dosing, hours, and pickup logistics. Federal policy questions get routed to a human — we don’t want her to be the source of a customer’s legal opinion.
How long is setup?
Most cannabis shops are live in about 72 hours. Cannabis POS integration + dose-rule configuration can add a day or two — once those are done, voice provisioning and staff onboarding are quick.
Can I cancel?
Any time. No annual contracts. If it’s not earning back the subscription in the first 30 days, we refund the month.
Hear her answer. Then decide.
Call Gabby right now. Ask her how she handles a first-time customer. Ask her about age screening. Ask her anything an inspector would. If she doesn’t sound like the best budtender you’ve ever hired, we don’t want you to buy.
