# Budy — Cannabis Dispensary POS & Dispensary Management Software

> Budy is cannabis dispensary POS and dispensary management software: a point-of-sale, inventory and compliance system built for cannabis dispensaries and cannabis retail, and also used by coffee shops and specialty retail. It prices flower per gram from a live Bluetooth scale, tracks strains with terpene and THC/CBD attributes, captures compliance documents, and keeps selling when the internet drops — orders sync automatically once the connection returns. It reports sales, inventory adjustments and waste to Metrc and BioTrack for US state-regulated markets. Budy runs on Android, iOS, Windows and Android TV, ships in nine languages, and starts with two months free. Contact Budy for pricing after that. There is no setup fee and no per-transaction charge. Made by Budy LLC, Sheridan, Wyoming, United States.

Budy is a native app rather than a browser tab: each terminal holds its own database, so checkout, weighing, label printing and member lookup all keep working with no connection. Dispensaries usually run it on hardware they already own — an Android or iOS phone or tablet, or a Windows PC — or on a purpose-built SUNMI countertop terminal.

## Industries

- [Cannabis dispensary POS](https://budy.app/industries/cannabis-dispensary): How Budy handles a dispensary counter — flower weighed and priced per gram, strain and terpene data on the product, age checks before payment, batch traceability to the receipt
- [CBD, hemp and smoke shop POS](https://budy.app/industries/hemp-cbd-store): Budy for hemp-derived retail — flower priced per gram off a scale, COAs and batch records held against the lot, age checks before payment. These shops are generally outside state seed-to-sale systems, so Metrc is not required to use Budy
- [Coffee shop POS](https://budy.app/industries/coffee-shop): Fast checkout for drinks and food with modifier-heavy menus, running on the same app as the cannabis build
- [Restaurant POS](https://budy.app/industries/restaurant): Budy for independent restaurants, cafés and fast-casual — complex modifiers, multi-location inventory, offline-first reliability, receipt printing to kitchen and front, and no per-transaction fees
- [Thai dispensary software](https://budy.app/industries/thai-dispensary): Cannabis POS for Thailand: checks the PT33 prescription before the sale, caps supply at 30 days, and builds PT27/PT28 monthly reports from sales and stock; full Thai interface. Budy checks a prescription the shop already has and prepares the reports. It does not issue prescriptions or file them with the government
- [ระบบ POS ร้านกัญชา สำหรับร้านในประเทศไทย (รองรับ ภ.ท.33)](https://budy.app/th/industries/thai-dispensary): ระบบ POS ร้านกัญชาสำหรับร้านในประเทศไทย ตรวจใบสั่งจ่าย ภ.ท.33 ก่อนขาย จำกัดปริมาณไม่เกิน 30 วัน และจัดทำรายงาน ภ.ท.27/ภ.ท.28 จากยอดขายและสต็อก หน้าจอภาษาไทยทั้งระบบ Budy ตรวจใบที่ร้านมีอยู่แล้วและเตรียมรายงานให้ร้านตรวจก่อนยื่นเอง ไม่ได้ออกใบสั่งจ่าย และไม่ได้ยื่นรายงานให้หน่วยงานรัฐ
- [South African cannabis club POS](https://budy.app/industries/south-african-cannabis-club): Budy for South African private members' clubs — flower weighed and priced per gram in rand, the member and the batch on the same line, the club's own member register and allocation log, and an offline-first till. The page also sets out plainly where South African law stands as at August 2026: private adult use was decriminalised by Prince (2018), commercial sale was not, the Cannabis for Private Purposes Act 7 of 2024 is signed but never brought into force, there is no club licence and no seed-to-sale system. Budy does not claim to make a club lawful

## Compliance and hardware

- [Compliance](https://budy.app/compliance): The customer gate that runs before payment, ID and passport reading on the terminal, lot provenance frozen at receipt, and prescriptions held in a private vault behind five-minute expiring links with per-view access logging
- [Hardware](https://budy.app/hardware): The terminals, Bluetooth scales, label printers, scanners and cash drawers Budy is tested against, with a spec page per device — including SUNMI D3, T3 PRO and T2s terminals, Acaia Lunar and Pearl S scales, and Niimbot D11-H and B21S label printers

## Features

- [Bluetooth scale pricing](https://budy.app/features/bluetooth-scale): Live gram-accurate weight streamed from Acaia Lunar, Pearl and Pyxis scales straight into the price on the sale — no typing a number the customer cannot verify
- [Product Recognition Agent](https://budy.app/features/ai-smart-scanner): Point a camera at a product and the agent fills in name, brand, category and images, so a shop can open without hand-entering a catalogue. Barcodes resolve against multiple commercial and open product databases covering hundreds of millions of retail items, with a web-search fallback when a code is in none of them
- [Strain researcher](https://budy.app/features/strain-researcher): A built-in library of 7,000+ strain profiles — terpenes, taste, effects, relief — plus an on-board AI researcher that profiles strains it has never seen, and custom strain creation for growers
- [Budy TV](https://budy.app/features/budy-tv): Turns any Android TV, Google TV or tablet into a synced menu board and a customer-facing live cart, paired to the POS with a six-digit code
- [Footfall tracking](https://budy.app/features/footfall): Draw a counting zone on the entrance camera's picture and Budy counts visitors on the POS device itself — in, out and unique visitors, direction-aware, with no cloud video and no extra hardware
- [Label & receipt printing](https://budy.app/features/label-printing): Niimbot label printers and ESC/POS receipt printers pair themselves, label size and roll level are read from the roll's RFID tag, and checkout prints a batch-coded label for every bag — from any till over the store's own network, online or not
- [Inventory management](https://budy.app/features/inventory-management): Dispensary-native inventory — strain-linked products sold per gram and per piece with weight pricing, dated lot codes with COAs and frozen provenance, oldest-first per-lot deduction, flower-to-pre-roll conversion that keeps the lot chain, purchase orders with per-line farm paperwork, a supplier scorecard, and expiry/aged-stock reporting — all offline-first
- [Supported devices](https://budy.app/features/supported-devices): What Budy runs on — any recent Android or iOS phone or tablet, Windows PCs, and purpose-built POS terminals
