For many
Dispensaries the transactions are cash and there are no bar codes or
very efficient ways to track inventory. Because of this, dispensary
owners commonly have issues with "inventory shrinkage", which stunts
their growth in revenues. many owners are doing so well that they don't
feel it's worth it to find out just how much they are losing, but many
are realizing it is more than worth their time to have a "grow tracking"
system in place.
Some of the ways you can have better controls are management based and
the other is your actual point of sale system. First let's talk
management strategies.
Dispensary Management Strategies
Have opening and closing protocols to ensure employee consistency and
avoid carelessness. Don't be afraid to be detailed, employees secretly
like structure because they then they don't have to ask the question,
"now what do I do?"
Opening Procedures Example
* Turn off alarms
* Check on surveillance cameras
* Count Inventory
* Count cash drawer money
* Get storefront ready: Check restrooms, turn on AC and lights
* Unlock Doors
Closing Procedures Example
* Count Cash, Compare with Inventory
* Lock up Inventory
* Turn off lights
* Turn on alarm
* Lock Doors
* Make bank deposit
Another piece of the puzzle is checking out new hires by calling their
references and checking with their previous employers. Although this is
an important step, you can't rely solely on what others say or judge on
appearances. The employees with the "stickiest of fingers" are often the
"ideal employees".
This is where having the right POS software system comes into play. With
the right point of sale software you can accurately track your
inventory, meaning you wouldn't have to worry so much about the
inventory once it is entered into your system.
