WSLCB
Dogfood stateWSLCB-coded POS for Washington dispensaries
Built and dogfooded in Wenatchee and Seattle. WAC 314-55 mapped into the platform — not a checkbox, not a marketing slide. Excise math, age-verify, and traceability live in the same system as the register.

Dogfooded here
Doug Waun owns Green Life Cannabis (Wenatchee, license 414755) and Seattle Cannabis Co (Seattle, license 426199). Both stores run on this platform daily — same build you’d be deploying. When the WSLCB tightens a rule, we feel it before we ship the fix.
