Built for independent liquor stores

Enhance your POS with AI‑powered technology.

Keep the register you already have. Kessa reads every invoice behind it, catches the costs that moved, and writes your next order. Then it texts you the answers, so there is nothing to log into.

Morning. Empire delivered today and Kessa read all 14 lines.

A sample conversation with a sample store

Keep your register. Keep your processor. Kessa texts you the rest.

Invoices

The truck arrives. The invoice reads itself.

Your staff snap the delivery invoice in the Hub. It shows up in your dashboard already read, matched to your shelf, with every cost that moved flagged.

  • PDF, photo, or Fintech file
  • Cost increases caught before you pay

Smart Order

The next order, already written.

Kessa knows each distributor's order day and what has actually sold since the last truck, so the order is ready before you sit down to it.

  • Low items found from your real sales
  • Staff count the shelf, then it prices the order

The floor

Counts from your staff's phones.

Daily counts, opening and closing checklists and delivery check-ins, on an app your team opens every shift. Every one lands in your feed the moment it is done.

  • Nothing for staff to install or learn
  • Shrinkage shows up the day it happens

Cost changes by text

Once a week Kessa texts you the costs that moved, with a link to review them. No dashboard to check.

Nothing on your counter changes.

No new hardware, no retraining, no new processor. Clover, Square and Lightspeed connect the same way.

Clover

Connects directly

Connects straight to your Clover account. Kessa reads your sales and your item catalog. A checked-in delivery can add those units on the register, a shelf count or recount you confirm can set that count, and a price you approve can be sent back.

Reads sales and catalog

Square

Connects directly

Connects straight to your Square account. Kessa reads your sales and your item catalog. A checked-in delivery can add those units on the register, a shelf count or recount you confirm can set that count, and a price you approve can be sent back.

Reads sales and catalog

Lightspeed

Connects directly

Connects straight to your Lightspeed account. Kessa reads your sales and your item catalog. A checked-in delivery can add those units on the register, a shelf count or recount you confirm can set that count, and a price you approve can be sent back.

Any other register

Sales file

No connection needed. Export a sales file from whatever you run, CSV or Excel, and Kessa reads the columns, maps them to your products, and remembers the mapping for next time.

You send the file, nothing reaches back

Fintech

The invoice rail most distributors already bill through. Your Fintech file lands in Kessa and every line is read the same way a PDF is.

Reads only

Reads invoices from Empire Distributors, RNDC Georgia, United Distributors, Georgia Crown, Atlanta Beverage, and more

The questions owners actually ask

How long does setup take?
About 30 minutes. You connect your register and share your Fintech invoice files, and Michael takes it from there. Your data starts flowing the next day, and so do your texts.
Does it work with my POS?
Clover, Square and Lightspeed connect directly. Any other register works too, as long as it can export a sales file. Kessa reads the columns and maps them to your products for you.
Where does my data live, and who can see it?
In your own isolated tenant, encrypted at rest, and no other store can read a single row of it. Connections to Clover, Square and Lightspeed are stored encrypted and you can revoke them at any time.
Can I cancel?
Yes, from your Settings page. Month to month stops at the end of the month. The 3-month, 6-month and annual plans are paid up front and are non-refundable, so cancelling stops the next renewal rather than refunding the term you are in. We email you before every renewal so it is never a surprise. Either way you keep your data: every invoice, product and sales record exports to CSV on your way out. No setup fee.
