No floor standard
Product gets shelved by whoever is on shift. Eye-level buy zones sit half empty while your best-margin SKUs hide on the bottom shelf.
Retail operations for dispensaries
Every store has one shelf that pays.
Chains know exactly which one.
Most dispensaries let whoever is on shift decide.
This is the buy zone.
Merchandise like a chain. Train like a chain. Stay independent.
Ten tools that run a dispensary floor the way a regional chain would. Planograms, training, SOPs, audits, and the manager's redbook. Free to try right now.
Retail operations for dispensaries · Launching Fall 2026
Merchandise like a chain. Train like a chain. Stay independent.
Every store has one shelf that pays. Chains know exactly which one. Ziggy is thirty years of that discipline, built for the independent.
The gap
01
02
03
Chains run on systems. Most dispensaries run on memory.
Cannabis is a multibillion-dollar retail category still run, in most stores, the way specialty retail was run twenty years ago. The discipline that makes a chain profitable never reached the independent.
Training lives in one head
New budtenders learn by watching. Attach rate, basket building, and product knowledge walk out the door when your best person quits.
Consultants cost a buildout
The fix exists, at fifteen to twenty-five thousand dollars in custom design and ops consulting. Out of reach for the single store that needs it most.
The math
Small disciplines, real money.
A five-point attach-rate improvement on 200 weekly tickets at a $22 average add-on. From conversations your budtenders are already having.
Flower wall · one SKU
Move it up
Added margin per year, one SKU, one store
$1,600
55%of budtenders who worked at any point in a year are gone by the end of it.
$6,000to replace one of them, once you count recruiting, onboarding, and the ramp.
90 daysbefore a new hire adds real value. Most do not last that long.
Training that survives a resignation is not a nice-to-have. It is the margin.
What Ziggy does
One operating system. Generated for your store.
Give Ziggy your menu, your square footage, and your state. It builds the playbook a regional chain hands a new general manager on day one, and the tools talk to each other.

Open the toolTraining
Onboarding modules, quizzes, and sales coaching on attach rate and basket building, in your voice, ready to assign.
Open the toolSOP database and creator
A searchable library of dispensary SOPs you can use as-is, plus a creator that drafts new ones in your format.
Open the toolManager's Redbook
Shift notes, open and close checklists, register-level cash counts, and handoffs. Nothing falls through the cracks.
Open the toolBudtender scorecards

Audits, training, checklists, comms, and cash variance on one board. Drill into the number that needs you.

How it works
From your menu to a managed floor in three steps.
01
Tell Ziggy your store
Upload your menu and a few details about your space and your state. No integrations, no IT project.
02
Ziggy builds your system
Planograms, training modules, SOPs, and your manager's logbook, generated against your products and your rules.
03
Run the floor like a chain
Print the planograms, assign the training, walk the audits, and watch the numbers move on one board.
Who it is for
For operators who want to look corporate without becoming one.
Single-location independents
Ready to run a sharper floor than the chain down the road.
Small 2 to 10 store operators
Who need every location to feel like one brand.
New GMs and owners
Who came up on the floor, not in an ops department.
Why trust this
I spent more than thirty years inside some of the most systematized retailers in the country, and several years running a dispensary floor. Ziggy is the bridge I kept wishing existed.
What it costs
Free to try today. Priced when the platform lands.
Available right now
The ten tools. Free.
Open any tool right now and use it. No card, no trial clock, no sales call.
Fall 2026
The connected platform.
Your real menu loaded, your data saved, one login for your whole team, and the tools talking to each other. Pricing published when it ships.
No pricing page yet, because there is nothing to charge for yet. When there is, it will be on this page in plain numbers.
Straight answers
The questions owners actually ask.
It is one login for ten tools, which is the opposite of the problem. Ziggy does not replace your POS. It runs the floor your POS cannot see: the shelf, the shift, the training, and the audit.
No. Export your menu the way you already do and upload the file. That is the whole setup. No API keys, no vendor calls, no IT project.
The ten tools are free to use right now. The connected platform is priced when it ships this fall, and the number goes on this page the day it exists.
They do not have to log in to benefit. A manager assigns a module and sees who finished it. The scorecard reads from the numbers you already have, and it points at the one module that fixes the gap.
Your customers never see any of this. They see a floor where the good stuff is where they can reach it and a budtender who knows the answer.
Owner, manager, and employee tiers, enforced in the database rather than hidden in the page. A budtender cannot open the cash counts by editing a URL.
Coming Fall 2026
The retail playbook the big chains keep to themselves.
Built by an operator who spent thirty years in corporate retail and several years running a dispensary floor. Ten tools are live to try today. The connected platform lands this fall.
