Finding success in a competitive market

Founded in 2019, Sauce Monkey is a liquor boutique in South Carolina that takes pride in its exceptional selection and excellent customer service. As a new liquor store in a crowded and competitive market, Sauce Monkey needed to stand out from the crowd.

After using several other systems and finding them lacking, owner Chuck Howard sought an industry-specific point of sale to save time and spend more time with customers.

"There's a very competitive market here in this part of South Carolina with the growth, as we're just across the border from Charlotte."

Pain points

Not satisfied with generic solutions
Chuck needed a POS system tailored for liquor stores to manage compliance, multi-distributor inventory, and the competitive South Carolina market.

Unintuitive systems
After trying several systems, Chuck needed a solution to simplify operations. Bottle POS proved to be intuitive and time saving.

Limited time
With limited time, Chuck and his wife needed a quick solution. Bottle POS offered fast onboarding, great support, and a demo that sealed the deal.

Discovery

Finding an intuitive POS solution

Chuck, along with his wife and co-owner, had already tried a few POS systems
built for general retail, but wasn't impressed. 

Here's how they found the right system:
