Liquor store highlights
Check ID and county rules
Age-restricted items open Check ID; scanning the license fills in the birth date. Sales hours and holiday closures follow the store's county, found from its ZIP code, and uncertified clerks cannot sell alcohol.
Margin you can see
Markup by Size suggests shelf prices, the 6% price floor blocks below-floor sales, and margin alerts plus before/after margin reports show what discounts and new costs did.
Vendor invoice reader
Snap a photo or upload the PDF bill. Cinder reads the lines with per-vendor templates, matches UPCs to barcodes, and shows the margin on each line before you post it.
Receiving and reorders
Receive by the case or the bottle with open-case handling, track bottle and keg deposits, and work from the reorder list and low-stock alerts.
Discounts, labels and close
Bottle Discounts by size, day, week, category or product, plus happy hours. Print shelf labels through the register agent and close each shift with the shift-end summary and the voids report.

Quick answers
Common questions before you book a demo.
Can we stop uncertified clerks from selling alcohol?
Yes. Record each clerk's alcohol-seller certification and expiry date. When the register requires it, staff without a valid certification cannot ring up alcohol.
Can Cinder read our vendor invoices?
Yes. Take a photo or upload the PDF of a distributor bill. Cinder reads the item lines using a template per vendor, matches each UPC to your product barcodes, and shows cost and margin per line so you can review before posting.
How does the 6% price floor work?
Oklahoma package stores may not sell alcohol below cost plus 6%. Cinder checks the price at the register, including after discounts, and blocks anything below that floor.
Can managers see what was voided or canceled?
Yes. The Voids & Cancellations report lists removed items and canceled orders with the cashier, the approver when a PIN was required, and the amounts, by register and by day.

Questions about Liquor Stores.
How does Cinder check ID at the register?
When an age-restricted item is rung up, Check ID asks for the customer's date of birth. Scanning the driver's license fills it in and shows the customer's age; under-21 and expired IDs are refused and can be recorded in the compliance log.
Can Cinder enforce county sales hours and holiday closures?
Yes. Cinder looks up the store's county from its ZIP code and applies that county's legal sales hours and holiday closures, plus any per-sale limits you set. The register blocks sales outside those rules, and each block can be recorded in the compliance log.
Does Cinder handle bottle and keg deposits?
Yes. Turn on bottle and keg deposits for the register and set the deposit on each product. Scanning the product adds the deposit as its own line, so it shows separately on the receipt.
