You run the store. Esplanda runs the business.

Esplanda is retail management software for independent, owner-run stores: liquor and wine stores, grocery and convenience stores, restaurants and bars, retail shops and service businesses. It runs the register, stock, pricing and marketing from one system: on Visibility it tells you what to do next, on Operations it prepares the work, such as a supplier order or a price change, for your approval, and on Done-For-You it does routine work inside limits you set. Every action is recorded with what it was predicted to earn and what it actually earned, in dollars.

Yes. Esplanda POS is included at no extra charge on every plan (Visibility $99, Operations $299 and Done-For-You $599, each per location per month) and runs on a desktop, tablet or phone you already have, so buying hardware is optional. Card processing is optional and priced separately: Esplanda processes card payments as a reseller for First American Payment Systems, a Deluxe company, with rates from 2.79% + $0.10 in person and 2.89% + $0.30 online, and your rate is set when First American approves your account, from your current statement.

Yes. Esplanda connects to Square, Clover, Lightspeed and KORONA registers for $79 per register per month, so you keep the register you have. Esplanda POS is also included on every plan, and it is the simpler path: one system, no products to match and nothing to reconcile at night.

Esplanda reads your sales and stock counts, warns you before a best seller runs out and shows how much cash is tied up in stock that is not selling. On Visibility it tells you what to reorder and when; on Operations it writes one purchase order per supplier, timed to each supplier's delivery day, and one tap sends it; on Done-For-You it sends orders inside your maximum order value, weekly ceiling and approved suppliers. Anything outside those limits waits for your approval.

Retail management software, also called retail store management software, runs the business side of a store from one system: the register, inventory and supplier orders, prices, customers and marketing, and the reports. The must-haves for an independent store are a POS that keeps selling when the internet drops, run-out warnings, purchase orders, competitor price tracking and loyalty, all on one catalog. Esplanda also tells you what to do next, prepares the work or does it inside limits you set, depending on your plan, and records what each action earned in dollars.

For an owner-run store, yes: Esplanda runs the register, stock and ordering, prices, customers and marketing, listings and reviews, online ordering, staff scheduling and reports from one system. It is priced per location per month from $99, with Esplanda POS included on every plan and a 14-day free trial with no credit card needed to start. Staff scheduling hands clean hours and export-ready timesheets to the payroll provider you already use.

Yes, as far as you allow: on Visibility and Operations Esplanda never changes a price on its own, and on Operations every price change waits for one tap. On Done-For-You it moves prices only above your margin floor and inside your price rules, and a move near a floor or larger than your maximum move size waits for one tap. Your state's legal minimum on alcohol prices is never crossed, and you can switch to approve-everything mode at any time.
