Frontdesk
AI for Cannabis Dispensaries

The AI receptionist for cannabis dispensaries, delivery operators, and multi-state operators (MSOs)

Frontdesk is the AI receptionist purpose-built for cannabis dispensaries — adult-use and medical dispensaries, cannabis delivery operators, multi-state operators (MSOs), micro-dispensaries, social-equity operators, and CBD + hemp retailers. It answers every product question (strain, terpene, THC%, CBD%, edible dosage), order-ahead request, ID verification, delivery coordination, and loyalty inquiry — across voice, SMS, chat, and email.

The Problem

Strain + product recommendation requires budtender expertise

Cannabis shoppers want strain recommendations based on effect (relaxation, focus, sleep, pain), terpene profile, THC%, CBD%, and consumption method (flower, vape, edible, concentrate, tincture). Without a 24/7 budtender, late-night and after-hours shoppers leave. Frontdesk answers from Dutchie / Leafly / Weedmaps / Treez catalog data.

Lost late-night and after-hours sales

ID verification and age-gating is non-negotiable

Cannabis requires strict ID verification — 21+ for adult-use, medical-card verification for medical, state-by-state compliance. Frontdesk runs the age + medical-card verification conversation and integrates with your ID-verification provider.

Compliance risk, lost compliant sales

Order-ahead, delivery, and curbside coordination is complex

Cannabis order-ahead, delivery, and curbside coordination depend on Dutchie, Leafly, Weedmaps, Treez, or your dispensary platform — plus state delivery compliance. Frontdesk unifies every flow.

Fragmented order coordination, lost orders

Loyalty and compliance-aware marketing is hard

Cannabis loyalty (Springbig, Alpine IQ, Sprout Loyalty, baker.cannabis, AlpineIQ) requires compliance-aware messaging. Klaviyo and Attentive have cannabis restrictions. Frontdesk runs compliant SMS + voice + email outreach while respecting state-by-state rules.

Lost loyalty redemption, compliance risk
