the world’s leading cannabis technology and security services provider, introduced today Cure8 Flow, the first-ever line of self-service kiosks made just for dispensaries. As a future-focused kiosk solution for the cannabis industry, Cure8 Flow is designed to transform the market by enhancing security, compliance, and customer experience for cannabis retailers.
At launch, the Cure8 Flow lineup of products will consist of cannabis kiosks designed to serve a range of store types and locations, with the ability to create customized experiences and branding:
- Core – point of sale hardware compatible with all dispensary POS systems
- Cart – floor-standing self-service kiosk with 21″ or 27″ touchscreen and optional payment terminal and receipt printer
- Verify – check-in terminal with integrated ID scanner and camera, developed in partnership with cannabis ID verification leader IDScan.net
- Drive – weather-proof outdoor drive-thru unit that delivers a frictionless experience without leaving compliance behind
- Discover – immersive learning hub where customers explore strains, effects, and brands through rich visuals and guided content, developed in partnership with educational software leader Seed Talent
- Shift – employee timeclock terminal developed in partnership with dispensary software leader KayaPush
Said Cure8 CEO Eric Schlissel, “Retail kiosks used to be a bit of a luxury or a gimmick, now they’re a necessity. You see it in the food industry and with self-checkouts in all retail sectors. Consumers are demanding faster service and more ways to transact; and at the same time, the cost of everything – especially labor – is rising, and overall margins are getting tighter.
“Self-service kiosks solve all those problems, while also adding value in terms of visual appeal, upselling, consumer education, and more.” Dispensary kiosks offer a range of benefits for the cannabis industry, including reducing long lines, supporting staff during peak times, and improving security and compliance through features like secure payment processing and automated ID verification.
Cure8 president Munir Haque explained, “Cure8 Flow is designed to make life easier for dispensary operators in two key ways. First, it greatly simplifies the process of selecting and buying dispensary kiosks. Second, and more importantly, the Flow lineup is designed to reduce friction and increase efficiency in every area of dispensary operations. It’s designed, as the name suggests, to make everything just ‘flow’ for both consumers and staff, from check-in to check-out, from front to back of house, for every purpose from education to upselling, ID verification, and employee timeclock.
Expanding on how Cure8 Flow makes buying kiosks easier, Haque added, “Shopping for kiosks has long been difficult for dispensaries. There are hundreds of different options out there, a lot of them from obscure brands. Also, none of them are specifically designed for the unique functional needs of cannabis medical and recreational retailers.
“Cure8 Flow makes getting a kiosk for your dispensary easier than ever before. Instead of having to look through a hundred different options and go through an extended sales process, you just have to choose between a handful of models purpose-made for dispensary operations, and the purchase process is as quick and simple as checking out on Amazon. Plus, Cure8 Flow models arrive fully assembled, so setup only takes a few minutes.”
Cure8 Flow is a one-stop shop for kiosk solutions, supporting multi-location dispensaries and enabling easy implementation across stores. All Cure8 Flow kiosks are assembled in the United States and can be delivered to operators in as soon as a week from ordering.
Cure8 Flow kiosks can be implemented quickly and stand alone or be integrated with existing shop hardware, providing flexibility for any dispensary environment.
Haque added, “Cannabis dispensaries require their own purpose-built kiosks perhaps more than any other retail sector. For one thing, dispensaries have some of the highest buildout and operational costs of any other type of retailer due to their compliance requirements and unfavorable tax situation. They are especially in need of the labor-saving, efficiency-boosting, upselling, and loyalty program signup features of kiosks.
“They also have more specific needs for their kiosks than other kinds of retailers. For example, they’re the only kind of retailer where some states require both checking in/logging of each visitor and electronic ID verification; the Flow Verify allows this process to be automated, and not have a person dedicated for check-ins.
“Cannabis retailers are one of the few types of retailers that can do little to no advertising, and for a product that many American consumers have limited knowledge and experience with; the Flow Discover lets dispensaries run displays, sign visitors up for their compliant marketing lists, and educate themselves on cannabis products.”
Cure8 Flow kiosks help reduce labor costs, automate fulfillment, and support staff by allowing them to focus on areas requiring expertise, while automating routine compliance and operational needs.
Cure8 Flow kiosks provide data-driven insights, allow customers to discuss their orders less openly for privacy, and offer information on different products, including terpenes, effects, and dosage, helping customers make informed choices.
At MJBizCon 2025, the cannabis industry’s largest event of the year, December 2-5 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cure8 Flow products will be available to demo at Cure8’s booth, C25611, as well as at several other partner booths throughout the expo. The growing market adoption of cannabis kiosks highlights their role in supporting the future of the cannabis industry.
Cure8 is the world’s leading cannabis technology and security services provider. Since their founding in 2016, they have designed, built, and managed the infrastructure of hundreds of cannabis facilities throughout North America.
