Friday, on the way home
A shopper finds your store
Friday, on the way home, they want something better than the usual. Your staff picks name the wine for tonight's dinner, and they stop by instead of the chain.

Competing with the big chain down the road?
People don't come to an independent store for the lowest price. They come for the picks, the advice and the bottle they won't find at the chain.
- "Do you have this one?" calls Your selection online
- Tastings nobody heard about Events in your Space
- No time to set it up We make it
- Paying up front The preview is free

Where your own Space actually helps
Planning a wedding
A couple orders the bar
They send a request for twelve cases and a few spirits with the date; you reply with suggestions and a price.
Saturday tasting
Regulars come back for events
Your tasting calendar is in your Space, and the QR code on every receipt brings people straight to it.
Selection, picks and events
Your selection, your staff picks and what's being poured on Saturday
Nobody drives past the big chain to save two dollars. They come to an independent store for the bottle they won't find anywhere else, and for someone who'll tell them what to open with dinner. Your Space should lead with that: what makes your selection yours, and who's behind the recommendations.
Show the selection without listing every bottle. Wine by region and style, the local breweries and distilleries you carry, the spirits you're proud of and a few rare finds. That's enough for a shopper to know you have what they like, and to come in for the rest.
Your staff are your edge, so give them a page. A few picks each week with a line on why, pairings for the season and what to bring to a dinner party. People come back for a recommendation they trust.
Weddings and parties are your biggest orders, so make them easy. A request form for the event, a gift basket or a case of something hard to find lands in your inbox with the date and the budget, and the order is ready when they arrive.
Your QR codes, included
Put your Space on every bag, box and receipt
3 QR codes in your branding come with your Space, ready to print. A phone camera is all anyone needs to open your Space from one.

Social bios and chatsIn your bio, and as a picture card in a chat
A screen by the till or in the window?
A screen that recommends while people browse
Shoppers wander the aisles and wait at the till. A screen can show this week's staff picks, new arrivals from local breweries and the next tasting, with a QR code to the full list, so the advice keeps going when your team is busy.
- Staff picks, with a line on each
- New arrivals, from local breweries and wineries
- Tastings and events, dates and what's being poured
Most smart TVs with a web browser can show it, with no extra box. You change what's on screen from your phone, using the same photos and videos as your site, and a QR code on screen lets people book or save an offer on their own phone.

What liquor store owners ask us
Can customers order online for pickup or delivery?
There's no shopping cart. They send a special order request and you confirm by email; if you deliver through an app, a button can lead there.
Do I need to list every bottle?
No. Categories, regions, local producers and staff picks are what bring people in. They'll find the rest on the shelves.
Can staff post their own picks?
Yes, from the app, with a photo and a line on why. It takes a minute.
Can we promote tastings and winemaker visits?
Yes, on an events page, and on the QR code on every receipt.
We carry a lot of local craft beer. Can each brewery have a spot?
Yes, a short section for each with their story. Craft beer fans love knowing who makes it.
Can my Space show holiday hours?
Yes. People check before New Year's Eve and long weekends; set the hours from the app and the page is right when they look.
I only need a digital business card. Do you do that?
Yes, that’s Identity Space: one screen with your photo, call and save-contact buttons and a QR code, for $199 a year. All you need is a phone. When you want more, you move up to a Showcase Space.
Can you get me ranked first for "liquor store near me"?
No one can promise a ranking, and we won't. What we do is make every section so search engines can clearly read what you do, your neighbourhood and how to reach you. Your Google listing and reviews do the rest.
What do I pay, and when?
Nothing for the preview. If you say yes, $299 a year from that day. A domain of your own (like yourwineshop.ca) is bought separately; everything else in the plan is included.
