Re: Liquor Store Software Search

Should be pretty standard...

Taxing may/may not be an issue at the POS.

A lot depends on the state, Ohio for instance had some specific reporting
requirements, at least back in the mid 90's when I worked for a POS dealer.

I built an interface between the Electronic Cash Registers we sold and
Ohio's reporting software.
