How to run your dream dispensary in Oregon
Oregon has been at the forefront of cannabis legalization in the U.S. The challenge now is to remain competitive and compliant as the state continually shifts regulations and laws.
Flowhub is here to make sure that your stores are prepared to maintain clean inventory management, run efficient delivery services, and grow profits — all with a keen eye on compliance.
Increase revenue
Oregon is highly competitive, so increasing revenue isn’t easy. Successful dispensaries stand out and build a loyal customer base by delivering the best experience through dispensary Deals, welcoming dispensary design, personable staff, and quick transactions.
Reduce cost of operations
To run a profitable dispensary, you need to streamline operations and prevent loss. The mobile Stash® app allows for mobile inventory management, reducing time spent on manual tasks by 90%. Scan barcodes and reconcile inventory between front and back of house.
Manage risk & compliance
Compliance with the OLCC is increasingly challenging. We allow guest check-out to respect customer privacy. With an API integration with Metrc, automatically report sales to the state. Our dispensary POS includes cannabis counters and purchase history ensure you never oversell and remain in compliance.
“I would highly recommend Maui. The optionality of features on the backend is wide-ranging, which is good because we need to be able to pull from all different types of data strategies and make informed decisions. Data doesn't lie.”Kurt Folkerth Groundworks
“Oregon is a very unique state in their rules and regulations. There were several point of sale [systems] that we went through that just weren’t designed for cannabis. We needed to switch to make it easier on our staff and remain in compliance.”Aaron Elston VP of Retail at Oregrown
“I have worked with quite a few other POS systems and I feel Flowhub is the best. Not just because of the stellar programming, but, because of you guys. Every single time I have an issue you guys get to the bottom of it immediately. You guys are rockstars!”Rich Erskine Alberta Green House
“I love your system. It’s the best out there. I love you guys."Brandon DeCamp Owner of Truth Dispensary
“I’ve worked with 8 other cannabis POS systems. Flowhub is a lot easier to use than every other one of them.”Rain Britten Serra
Modernize experiences
There’s more to modern cannabis retail than just looks. Make your dispensary stand out by and create differentiated experiences with up-to-date hardware and technology, including ipads, self-service kiosks, digital signage, mobile shopping carts, and integrated payments for dispensaries.
Scale & expand operations
To grow your marijuana business, you’ll need a dispensary pos system that’s built to scale. The View app lets you check company-wide and store-level reports in real time from your phone. With Flowhub, easily add new stores and stay connected to them from anywhere.

Features like the global product catalog and the ability to transfer inventory between stores allow you to get your new location up and running quickly. We built our POS software so both owners and managers can make company-wide updates and see reports at the company level or location level. Aaron Elston, VP of retail at Oregrown, onboarded their second store in Portland in a matter of hours with minimal assistance.
How do I calculate Oregon marjuana tax in my dispensary?
Taxes are a common question because they vary from state to state, and often also by county or city. For recreational dispensaries in Oregon, there is a 17% sales tax charge on marijuana. Learn more on the Department of Revenue page. You can also visit our blog, How to Calculate Cannabis Taxes at your Dispensary, to learn more about cannabis taxes and see how to do this in Flowhub.
What are Oregon marijuana laws?
The regulatory body for Oregon’s retail and medical marijuana licenses is the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC). Oregon uses Metrc as the state track and trace system. Recreational customers are allowed 1 ounce of cannabis per day, equivalent to 5 grams of concentrate, either inhalable or edible. Medical customers can possess up to 24 ounces of usable marijuana and 5 grams of concentrate. Visit the Oregon State site to find the most updated regulations and purchase limits.
How can I keep my Oregon dispensary competitive despite increasing consolidation?
Consumers have many options when it comes to buying cannabis products in Oregon. As a retailer amongst many, you need to continually attract new customers and retain the ones you have in order to thrive. Your store needs to streamline processes, integrate technology, and make data-driven decisions to improve customer satisfaction. Speeding up customer check in and creating a modern brand experience will further your goal and your revenue stream. But also make sure you’re thinking about ecommerce, including curbside pickup, online ordering, delivery services, and accepting non-cash payments. These are elements in our new normal that are quickly becoming requirements for any successful dispensary growth strategy.
