WSLCB
Operator-run stateWSLCB-coded POS for Washington dispensaries
Built and proven in our own Wenatchee and Seattle stores through every WSLCB tightening cycle. WAC 314-55 mapped into the platform — not a checkbox, not a marketing slide. Excise math, age-verify, traceability, and vendor-sample auto-ring live in the same system as the register.
Regulator

- Manager write-up assistant tuned to WA labor + WSLCB violation taxonomy
- Door-greeter age-verify lane wired into the POS attempt log
Operator-run here
We run our own licensed Washington dispensaries on this code — active WA cannabis operators since 2010. The platform runs them daily — same build you’d be deploying. When the WSLCB tightens a rule, we feel it before we ship the fix.
