Dispensary menu software and cannabis menu software, priced for online menus and in-store screens

Dispensary menu software costs anywhere from about $30 a month for one synced menu screen to $1,000 or more a month for a full online ordering platform, because the phrase covers three different products. The online menu is the expensive part. In-store screens are cheap and published. The menu inside your POS is usually included in the POS fee.

For the online menu, the two meters in the market are per order and per month. Jane is reported to charge about $1 per completed order and publishes no rate card, which works out to about $250 a month at 250 online orders and about $2,000 at 2,000. Dutchie publishes no price either; software directories put its platform at roughly $499 to $1,000 a month per location, with basic ecommerce reported near $299 and a setup fee reported around $349. Meadow sells one flat fee per location, and its own blog describes tiers from about $99 to $150 up to $700 and more. We break both big ones down line by line on our Jane pricing per order and Dutchie pricing pages.

For screens, two vendors publish a rate card, which is rare in cannabis software. DopeCast lists $30 a screen a month including the streaming device and support. GreenScreens lists $150 or $250 a month per location with unlimited screens and a $200 setup fee. On top of any of these sits payment processing for online orders, which runs about 1% to 1.5% on ACH or pay by bank and is never in the menu quote.

Good dispensary menu software syncs with your POS automatically, pulling products, prices and stock from the register so the menu never shows something you do not have. Whether it syncs with your POS specifically depends on the integration list, and that list is the first thing to check, before price.

The screen vendors publish theirs. GreenScreens names more than twenty POS platforms, including Dutchie, Flowhub, Alleaves, Jane, Treez, Cova, Blaze, BioTrack, GrowFlow, Meadow and Square. DopeCast lists direct integrations with Dutchie, Treez, Flowhub, Cova and Dispense. Budvue lists Cova, Dutchie and Greenline. Dispense says it integrates with many POS systems but its product page names none, so ask for your platform by name.

If your register is not on the list, you are paying for a menu you maintain by hand. A budtender spending fifteen minutes a day correcting a static menu adds up to about 90 hours a year, roughly $2,000 of payroll at a fully loaded $23 an hour, which is more than a year of screen software costs. If you are still choosing the register itself, check menu integrations as part of the decision; our dispensary POS systems comparison covers who connects to what.

Per-order menu pricing is cheaper below roughly 500 online orders a month, and a monthly subscription is cheaper above it. Divide a reported $499 monthly fee by a reported $1 per order and the two cost the same at about 500 orders, or about 17 a day.

Run it against your own median month. A store doing 200 online orders a month pays about $200 on a per-order meter and $499 or more on the subscription, so more than double. A store doing 2,000 pays about $2,000 per order against a flat fee that does not move. The meter also decides who shares in your growth: on a per-order contract, every promotion that lifts online sales lifts the software bill with it.

Screens have the same kind of crossover. $150 a location against $30 a screen meets at five screens, and the $250 tier at a little over eight. A two-screen counter is cheaper per screen. A six-screen menu wall is cheaper flat.

Usually yes, unless your POS vendor sells screens itself. Most online menu platforms do not drive the TVs on your sales floor, so stores add a signage product that reads the same POS feed. That is fine as long as both read from the register and neither is edited by hand.

The hardware is cheaper than many owners expect. DopeCast and GreenScreens both run on ordinary streaming sticks, which GreenScreens puts at about $20, and a commercial 43-inch display starts near $1,000 according to The Howard Company, a signage maker. A consumer television works for a while but is not rated for twelve to sixteen hours a day.
