Standard Operating Procedures

With over 7 years managing cannabis retail stores — and hands-on budtending experience — I develop SOPs for hiring, managing employees, and scheduling. I design flexible work schedules that minimize payroll without sacrificing customer service quality.

POS Database Analysis

Generate weekly and monthly sales & inventory reports to maximize inventory turnover and profit margins. Data-driven insights that keep your operation running efficiently.

Inventory Management

One of the biggest problems in the cannabis retail space is that most managers and budtenders lack organizational skills. So a well organized Inventory Management system is crucial to success. This entails both purchasing & restocking in a timely manner, and an auditing system to minimize theft.

Inventory Purchasing

With 7+ years of purchasing experience, I have extensive knowledge of the market and have developed special pricing agreements with many brands — giving your store a competitive edge.

Cash Flow Management & Tracking

Cash flow management is crucial to pay payroll, rent & taxes on time and maintain correct inventory levels. I implement a proven system to track and reconcile store cash accurately.

Compliance

I manage store compliance issues and gather data required for license renewals. Note: I do not handle licensing applications for legal liability reasons.

METRC

I no longer handle METRC issues, but I have experienced store managers that are fluent in METRC.

Merchant Processing Services

I have contacts in the credit card industry that specialize in the cannabis market.

Security

Having experienced store break-ins, scams, and physical altercations firsthand, I know what steps to take to prevent them. My SOPs also train security guards to man the check-in desk, reducing operating costs. I can also connect you with a high-quality security company at a competitive price.

Taxes

Extensive experience filing City of LA Taxes, California Excise Taxes & California Sales Taxes. I also compile the financial data your CPA needs for Federal and State Corporate Income Taxes. Not understanding cannabis retail taxes can result in serious financial trouble.

Insurance

I have extensive experience in shopping insurance and handling the annual audits for General Liability and Workers Comp policies.

Marketing

I have used a number of different marketing tactics and tracked their ROI. So I'm familiar with what works and what doesn't work in the cannabis market.
