One extra cigar and one extra pour a night.That's the whole argument.
Clear that and everything after it is profit. Below: how it turns the guest who was going to buy nothing into a guest who buys two things, what it hands your staff (a ticket, already rung up), and the one panel that tells you exactly which boxes to order next — because your customers asked for them by name.
The quiet sale that never happens.
It doesn't show up in your numbers, because it never becomes a transaction. A guest stands at the humidor for four minutes, nobody's free, and they leave with the same Robusto they always buy — or with nothing.
Meanwhile there are boxes in your humidor that would sell fine if someone told a guest what was in them.
The gap isn't your inventory and it isn't your staff. It's the four minutes where nobody is standing next to the guest.
Work it out on your own numbers.
We're not going to quote you an industry-average lift. Here is the arithmetic — put your own prices in it.
- One additional cigar per night
- $12.00
- One additional 2oz pour per night
- $16.00
- Nights open per month
- × 30
- Additional monthly revenue
- $840
That is one guest, once a night, taking one suggestion. If your lounge does more traffic than that — and most do — the arithmetic only gets easier. Run it with your own average ring and your own pour price before you believe anybody, including us.
Two margins on one visit.
Every other recommendation tool in this industry stops at the cigar. If you run a bar alongside your humidor, that's half your business left on the table.
Stack Finder reads what's actually open behind your bar tonight and suggests the pour to go with the cigar it just recommended. Not a generic pairing chart — your bottles, your pour prices, your stock.
A guest who came in for a $12 cigar leaves having spent $28.
Sample dataWhat your guests asked for, whether or not they bought.
- What guests searched for, ranked — including the cigars you don't carry.
- Which recommendations converted into a ticket and which didn't.
- What sold out and how much demand kept arriving after it did.
- Reorder signals based on what people are actually asking for.
It's an iPad on a stand, not an IT project.
We map your inventory
Your POS catalog is pulled in and matched to the cigar library. You review it before anything goes live.
The iPad goes on the stand
Wall-mounted or on the counter, wherever your guests already pause. Plug it in, connect the wifi.
Your staff gets ten minutes
The only new habit is checking the parked-sale list. That's the entire training.
The four things every owner asks.
Does my staff have to learn anything?
No. The kiosk hands them a parked ticket on the POS they already use. If they can ring up a sale today, they can ring up a Stack Finder sale today.
What if my inventory changes constantly?
It should. Stack Finder reads your live POS stock, so a cigar that sold out an hour ago stops being recommended an hour ago — not at the next monthly update.
Do I need new hardware?
An iPad and a stand. If you already have a spare 13" iPad, you already have the hardware.
What about the guests who hate technology?
They keep talking to your staff, exactly as they do now. The kiosk is for the guest standing alone in front of the humidor with nobody free to help them.
We'd rather show you than tell you.
