A quick look at how Cork keeps checkout, inventory, invoicing, and ordering moving in one clean flow.

The Problem

If you're still typing invoices
by hand, you're already behind.

Liquor stores juggle thousands of SKUs, a dozen distributors, paper invoices stacked on the counter, and lines that don't wait. Old POS software makes you work around it. Cork makes the work disappear.

Scan, tap, charge. No menus. No spinners.
The Operating System

One system. Every part of the store.

No more bouncing between POS, spreadsheets, distributor portals, and email. Cork unifies the whole loop — from the register to the back office to the loading dock.

Front of House

Checkout, age verification, split payments, tips, register sessions. Built to never freeze when the line is ten deep.

Back of House

Invoice reading, smart reordering, vendor-grouped POs, cost tracking, and clean records without another late night of manual entry.

Always On

A personal store assistant is available whenever you need it. Cork watches stock, sales, security, and support so small issues do not become expensive ones.

Smart Ordering

Suggested orders, sent in a single click.

Cork groups every vendor together, calculates what you actually need from sales velocity, and drafts a purchase order with the last known cost so you can spot deal changes before they hit your margin.

  • Order enough to stay covered without burying cash in slow movers
  • Vendor-grouped lists that are easy to review before sending
  • Cost changes and missed deals surfaced before the order goes out

Invoice Intelligence

Upload. Match. Review. Receive.

A distributor drops 25 cases and a paper invoice. Here's what happens next.

01 / UPLOAD

Snap or drop

PDF, photo, or HEIC from your phone. Cork hashes it on arrival and skips duplicates automatically.

02 / MATCH

Find the right item

Cork checks UPCs, item numbers, aliases, and product names. If a line looks uncertain, it stays flagged for review.

03 / REVIEW

Side-by-side

Original invoice and matched lines on one screen. Discounts, deposits, and case math broken out cleanly.

04 / RECEIVE

One transaction

Stock and weighted-average cost update atomically. PO auto-reconciles. Audit trail preserved for NYSLA.

⚡ Unmatched is better than wrong.
Invoice Review

Every line, every discount, every cent.

Cork reads the whole invoice and lays it out flat — items, sizes, cases, costs, and discounts. Linked rows are green and locked. Anything ambiguous stays at the top until you say so.

  • Continuation rows merged automatically (case discount, bottle surcharge)
  • Per-line discount column with breakdown preserved on reopen
  • Confirm in a serializable transaction — no half-receives

Cork Assistant

A store assistant that knows your shelves.

Ask plain store questions and get plain answers from your own products, sales, prices, and orders. No menus, no reports to hunt through, no technical language.

"What are my top sellers this month?"
See what is moving by units and revenue, so the next order reflects what customers are actually buying.
"What should I reorder before the weekend?"
Cork checks stock on hand, recent sales, and vendor costs so you can stay ready without overbuying.
"Is anything costing me more than before?"
Catch price changes, margin drift, and slow-moving bottles early enough to make a better buying decision.
"Can someone help right now?"
24/7 store security and support means there is always a path when the register, inventory, or back office needs attention.

Reports & Analytics

Numbers a store owner can read.

Revenue, transactions, average ticket, and gross margin headline the page. Sales by category, revenue by day, top sellers — all in one screen, not buried in submenus.

  • Period-over-period comparison with rolling-window filters
  • Category mix shown as a donut, not a 14-row table
  • Top sellers ranked by quantity AND revenue side-by-side

Principles

Designed for real store days,
not just demos.

The register stays calm when the line gets long. If ten people are waiting, the software shouldn't be the thing that slows you down.
When something on an invoice doesn't look right, it gets flagged — not silently pushed into your inventory. We'd rather leave a line unmatched than match it wrong and corrupt your stock.
Every store's data is fully isolated. Tenancy enforced at the route, the service, and the database — not a checkbox in settings.
The assistant is practical. Ask what sold, what to reorder, what changed in cost, or where stock is sitting, and Cork answers from the store's live data.
Support and security stay on watch around the clock, because a store does not only need help during office hours.
Built by engineers who've watched store owners spend their evenings keying in invoices line by line. That's the problem we're here to fix.

Bring calm to the counter.

A modern operating system for liquor and wine shops that want speed, clarity, and less mess behind the scenes.
