Leafnet: Canna Point Of Sale

Most point-of-sale systems look good in a demo. Fewer survive a Friday rush when the internet drops, the compliance system stalls, and someone fat-fingers an order while a line stacks up. That’s the environment LeafNet was built for—and it shows.

LeafNet is a New Mexico–born, all-in-one retail platform created by a tight-knit team with decades of point-of-sale experience and nearly ten years working together. This isn’t a pivoted restaurant system or a white-labeled tool retrofitted for flower. It’s the third company this core group has built together, and it was designed from the ground up after sitting inside real shops and watching where other systems failed.

Built for Speed, Reliability, and Failure

LeafNet’s roots in restaurant POS matter—not because menus and SKUs are similar, but because restaurants taught the team two non-negotiables: speed and reliability. When systems go down, sales don’t stop. LeafNet carries that mindset into regulated retail.

The platform is fully cloud-based, but it doesn’t collapse when the cloud does. Full offline functionality allows sales to continue during outages, with transactions saved locally and synced automatically when connectivity returns. Even more importantly, registers communicate with each other while offline, preventing double-selling and inventory drift. When state compliance systems stall, LeafNet shows a warning—not a shutdown. You might pause manifesting, but you don’t stop selling.

Manifesting Without Punishment

Manifesting is where most systems burn time and patience. LeafNet redesigned it around interruption, because that’s how stores actually operate.

Manifests can be started, saved, and finished later. They can be copied for repeat transfers. If a mistake is made—wrong destination, wrong timing—the manifest can be canceled directly inside LeafNet. The system handles the compliance cancellation via API. No separate login. No backtracking.

Receiving inventory follows the same logic. Products can be created while receiving. If an item has ever been sold before, all prior data auto-fills and only the barcode changes. What used to be a two-step, back-end process becomes one motion at the counter.

Inventory That Answers Real Questions

Reporting and forecasting in LeafNet aren’t built for screenshots. They’re built to answer the questions operators actually ask:

• Did payments match sales?

• What sold, and when?

• What moves during peak hours?

• How long will this product last?

Inventory forecasting shows coverage in days based on real movement. PAR levels can be auto-calculated, and reorders can be generated directly up to PAR. Sub-lotting supports bulk actions, turning ten-minute tasks into seconds for anyone moving volume.

Multi-Location Done Right

LeafNet treats multi-location operations as a first-class problem. The system already handles eight-plus locations and tens of thousands of SKUs without lag. From one screen, operators can see exactly where a product lives, update pricing across all stores at once, or drill down for location-specific pricing and availability. This is centralized control without killing local flexibility.

A Natural Fit for Hemp-Derived Retail

One of the quiet takeaways from the conversation is how well LeafNet fits hemp-derived operators. The workflows—catalog depth, effects education, product lifecycle changes—mirror regulated flower shops. The difference is fewer handcuffs: credit card acceptance is easier, and not every movement requires a manifest.

Many hemp retailers are still running on restaurant POS tools that don’t understand product transformation or large catalogs. LeafNet bridges that gap and future-proofs operators if rules tighten later. Same muscle memory, different oversight.

Support, Culture, and the Long Game

LeafNet is 100% U.S.-based, offers 24/7 live support, and does in-person installs and training. There are no contracts—month to month only. Retention is earned, not enforced.

What stands out most isn’t a single feature. It’s what users consistently say they gain back: time. Fewer clicks. Less friction. Fewer moments where the system fights the operator.

LeafNet wasn’t built to win a demo. It was built to survive real conditions—interruptions, outages, changing products, and multi-location chaos. It’s a system designed for shops where the product on the shelf today might not exist in the same form tomorrow.

In a space crowded with tools that look similar on paper, LeafNet feels different because it was shaped on the sales floor, not in a boardroom.
