Liquor stores — Early access

A liquor store POS with age verification built in

Fast checkout, built-in age verification for restricted sales and real inventory — coming to bottle shops through early access.

Liquor retail needs two things above all: a checkout that never makes staff guess about age, and inventory that keeps shelves stocked without over-ordering. Novaryq’s engine has both today — age verification for restricted sales and full inventory — and we’re adapting it for bottle shops with early-access partners.

What’s real today, what’s coming

Age verification for restricted sales, fast checkout, offline-first cash sales, inventory with counts and vendor orders, and loyalty are live in the engine today. Liquor-specific tooling is coming through the early-access program — we’ll always be clear about the line.

Restricted sales

An age check that lives in the flow, not on a sticker

A prompt that can be dismissed is a policy nobody follows. Age verification is enforced in the checkout flow for restricted items, so the check is part of completing the sale rather than a reminder beside it.

  • The prompt is attached to the item, so a new clerk cannot miss it on a product they have not sold before.
  • The action is attributed to the signed-in employee, which is what makes a later review meaningful.
  • Par levels, vendor orders and replenishment that nets open purchase orders keep the shelf stocked without ordering twice.

Bottle shops are in early access. The checkout, inventory and loyalty engine runs today; category-specific tooling is being shaped with early partners. Provincial rules differ across Canada — verify your own obligations rather than assuming any system encodes them for you.
