The cannabis industry’s biggest holiday is just over a month away, and it is time for you to start planning now if you want to make the most of it. In previous years, many dispensary POS systems have had a chronic reputation of crashing on 420, as they are not well-equipped to handle the traffic and transactions on this big day. With covid restrictions eased and life getting back to normal, you can expect April 20, 2022, to be the biggest 420 so far, and your cannabis retail operations must be ready to capitalize on the industry's most important business day. If your dispensary POS system crashed on 420 last year, then that is indeed a big red flag, and it is probably time to switch.
