Built for Kava Bar + Kratom Shop
Built for the fastest-growing bar category the old software never planned for.
Kava bars are growing fast, with over 300 locations now open across the United States, driven by 49% of Americans actively trying to drink less alcohol. But the major POS and marketing platforms have not caught up. Because kava and kratom are frequently flagged as high-risk by payment networks, many processors will decline or terminate your account. Ad platforms treat kava and botanical bars the same as cannabis: blocked on self-serve, throttled on SMS. Meanwhile, the customers who walk in for the first time often leave without ever coming back if no one answers their call or follows up on their text. Throughput handles the back office, the inbox, and the website so your staff can focus on the bar.
What you're up against
- Payment processors classify kava and kratom as high-risk and terminate accounts.
- Social ad platforms ban or heavily restrict promotion of kava and kratom products.
- Incoming calls and texts during peak hours go unanswered, sending customers elsewhere.
- No system to capture walk-in leads and follow them up automatically.
- Review counts stay low because there is no automated way to ask satisfied customers.
