We're excited to announce one of Stream's newest partners - Santé. We caught up with Darren Fike, Co-founder and CEO at Santé, to get to know the company a bit better and learn why they decided to use Stream to help solve tough problems for liquor stores.
Hey Darren, could you tell us what inspired your team to create Santé?
DF - I noticed that wine shops were using outdated POS systems and a variety of apps to run their business. I spoke with 100+ liquor store owners across the country and eventually took a job at a wine shop in NYC to learn the business. After all of this discovery, it was clear that this industry is overlooked and ripe for change.
Over the last couple of years, we've built a complete POS system specifically for liquor stores where our customers can run in-store operations, eCommerce, delivery apps, marketing and payment processing within one platform: Santé. Having everything needed to run a liquor store in one platform saves liquor store owners time and helps them cut costs by consolidating with one vendor.
Could you tell us some of those problems that liquor stores were facing and how Stream's white-label solutions helped?
DF - Before Stream liquor stores were stuck manually recreating their delivery app orders in their POS to maintain inventory. It's prone to human error, and inevitably leads to inaccuracies in sales reporting and inventory. With Stream, we're able to significantly simplify delivery app management for liquor stores. Instead of having countless tablets on the counter that they need to manage, they can accept orders across all delivery app channels directly in Santé. Instead of manually recreating each delivery app sales at the register, the sales record is automatically created each time the liquor store accepts a delivery app order in Santé.
That's exciting to hear and we're privileged to be partnered with such a great company like Santé solving real pain points for liquor stores. Where do you see the company going over the next 12 months?
DF - Today, Santé is serving some industry-leading liquors stores of all sizes. From independent wine shops like Discovery Wines to multi-location chains like Joe Canal's, Santé is built to help every liquor store grow. Over the next 12 months, we'll remain focused on helping liquor stores grow with add-on features like payroll, bookkeeping and expense management. "Liquor store owners have been craving a solution that meets their needs, and we're excited to continue building the POS system in the industry for liquor stores." - co-founder Antoine said.
Aaron Mehta at Winepress, who is using Stream via the Sante POS white-label told us: "Accepting DoorDash orders in Santé is much more convenient for me and my staff. Game-changer when we're busy with customers in the store."
