GuidePhotograph the night. Floor does the books.

Staff photograph the Z, the bill, or What’s Out. Floor reads it. You confirm. Books, stock, and vendors update.

What's OutStop letting the vendor write your order

The sales rep taps their app, not your books. Extra cases can be sloppy — or commission. What’s Out is your list. They fill it.

StoryThe paper store is over

Daily sheets, crossed-out closes, buried bills, a $500 you cannot find, wholesale with no list, two stores still lost. One phone. MR.STORE.

BooksNight close on a phone, not a back-office PC

Z, cash, card, lottery, drawer — one close you can finish standing at the register.

FloorWhat's Out before the customer asks

Empty faces become the vendor list. Mark What’s Out on the phone before the customer finds the hole.

Multi-storeTwo stores, one login, no mixed books

Lucky Mart and 123 are not one drawer. Switch the store. The ledger, Floor, and POS stay on that store.

FloorStop running the store in group texts

Handoffs, What’s Out, and who is on belong on Floor — not in a chat that also has the beer vendor.

InventoryBeer and wine: facing, voids, and the next vendor order

Warm gaps on a cold door are lost sales. Face, mark, order — same loop every delivery day.

KitchenKitchen tickets on the phone — not a separate iPad island

Order in, ticket up, make, ready, TV. Floor sees the same ticket. One store. One phone.

WebsiteA free store website that is actually yours

Logo, hours, map, menu — pulled from store settings. Not an agency, not a dead Facebook page.

OrdersOnline ordering that actually hits the kitchen

Customer orders on your site. Kitchen ticket + Floor thread. You are not hunting a Facebook message at 7pm.

ReviewsLive Google reviews on your store website

The same reviews people already read on Maps, on your site. Not a fake five-star widget.
