It provides the tools you need to manage everything efficiently, saving you time and effort while boosting your bottom line.

Let’s dive into the key features and benefits that make smoke shop software a must-have for your business.

Key Features of Qape’s Smoke Shop Management Software

Inventory Management

Managing stock is crucial for any retail business, but it can be especially challenging in smoke shops where you have to keep track of a wide variety of products. Qape’s inventory management system allows you to monitor stock levels in real-time, set automatic reorder points, and ensure you never run out of popular items. This feature helps you avoid overstocking or understocking, leading to better inventory control and increased profitability.

Point of Sale (POS) System

The POS system is the heart of any smoke shop operation, and Qape offers a seamless, user-friendly system that makes transactions quick and error-free. Whether customers are purchasing in-store or online, Qape’s POS system handles payments efficiently, tracks sales data, and provides detailed reports on your shop’s performance.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

Building strong relationships with your customers is key to growing your smoke shop, and Qape’s CRM feature helps you do just that. It stores customer information, purchase history, and preferences, allowing you to personalize the shopping experience.

The Breadline

Ch.2 - The Lunch Menu pairing: recovering!line cook!eren yeager x fat! fem! reader TW's: alcoholism, recovery, mentions of abuse, mentions of domestic violence, foster care, child custody, foster system, CPS, mentions of body/weight

The Flying Plate was the town’s largest and most popular food joint. Open from 7AM to 11PM, it served as not only a one stop shop for every meal, but also the only place attempting to make any sort of attempt at breathing a nightlife into your city. Every traveler passing through the unmarked spot on the map that you called home was liable to stop in, and with that, it had garnered a bit of a name for itself on yelp, with most reviews praising the food, and only a few complaining about the rude disposition of it’s manager.

Rude as he may be, Levi had undeniably turned the establishment on it’s head. Growing up, you could remember attending more than a couple of your friends' birthday parties at The Flying Plate. Back in those days, it was a popular pick for the spacious interior and cheap food, albeit quite the eye sore. You could remember the way the cracked vinyl of the booths would stick to the fat of your thighs, the checkerboard tabletops assaulting your eyes like they were attempting to distract you from the well-worn walls, still coated with nicotine from when smoking in restaurants was encouraged.

Stepping into the building on your first day, however, you're almost in awe at the major facelift the place had been given. Those old walls had now been completely replaced, with a coating of tile made to look like exposed brick, the occasional exposed wooden beam proudly rocketing out of them and continuing their march all the way across the ceiling, casting shadows on the ground from what looked like a myriad of freshly installed skylights. You found yourself thinking that was a smart idea; it would make the vibe transition from cozy family diner in the day to dive bar at night so much easier. Vinyl booths and checker top tables had been replaced with reclaimed wooden furniture, a testament to Levi’s monetary success with the business.

You hear your name being called and give an apprehensive wave and a sheepish smile as Levi emerges from a side door by the bar in the back. He nods as he saunters over, motioning for you to follow as he passes, leading you over to a register at the front entrance to the kitchen.

“So this is where you’ll clock in,” He skipped the introduction entirely, but stopped himself with a pinch of his brow to give you a once over. You couldn’t help but hold your breath.

You’d arrived dressed as instructed, a long sleeved black blouse and khaki pants with no visible tearing, your hair pulled away from your face in a tight braid. Figuring you’d somehow manage to get some critical feedback from Levi anyway, you’d even thrown on some eyeliner and sparkly silver jewelry from the clearance rack at walmart. You hated pointed stares at your body. While you weren’t particularly insecure, you were well aware of the way the critical lens of the world could perceive you at times. You weren’t lazy, you weren’t gross, you exercised regularly and ate like any other normal woman would, and yet those judgments would often be thrown your way just for being heavier than most.

“Much better than yesterday, but your feet are gonna be on fire by the end of the day.”

You let out a sigh of relief and glance down at your shoes. They were the only pair you owned. A well worn pair of converse. You couldn’t exactly afford another pair at the moment, but unwilling to argue with Levi, you stay silent. After showing you the ropes on the POS system, with a warning that he will write you up for frequent punch errors, he instructs you to wait by the POS while he grabs your trainer for the day.

It takes him longer than you think it should to find this mystery trainer, and you find yourself absentmindedly leaning against the counter and grabbing a to-go lunch menu from the customer display, reading over it while you wait. Things really had changed around here. Long gone were the greasy burgers and half burnt hotdogs you remembered devouring in your childhood, replaced instead with cleaner sandwiches and salads, most with some sort of germanic influence. Not exactly fancy, but fancier-

Your focus switched as the door swung back open, a male voice already announcing it presence, though not to you.

“-I mean, seriously, are you gonna actually pay me enough to make up for this?”

Levi emerges from the door first, stone faced as ever, although you swear you can see a minor clench in his jaw as he speaks, but doesn’t look at, the taller man trailing behind him. He’s clutching a blue folder with a stack of paperwork nestled inside.

“Jean, training is part of your job, and per policy you get the federal minimum wage when you’re training, along with half the tips acquired between the two of you. You half run the floor, for fucks sake. I let you get first pick for shifts, and occasionally the privilege of getting cut first before its your turn. Do not mistake my spoiling you for weakness-”

Levi spins and the dirty blonde nearly topples into him. He seems unwavered.

“If you don’t want to train, fine. But you can go back to full time nights and close all the time with the rest of them.”

The taller man looks like he’s debating fighting this, and you took the moment to size him up. He was, for lack of a better word, pretty. Even from feet away you could smell the cologne radiating off of him, see that the top of his undercut had been styled back away from his face. His black button up was quite obviously tailored to fit tighter to his chest, the sleeves rolled to expose muscular forearms, and you take note of black painted fingernails curled around his biceps where his arms were tightly tucked around his chest in defiance.

In an attempt to break the tension, you pointedly straighten yourself from your lax position, purposefully shoving the menu back in the display hard enough for it to rattle against the wooden counter. Expectedly, both of the men's heads snapped to you, Levi immediately readjusting his body to look more relaxed, while your trainer remained stiff.

“See? She’s studying already! She’ll be out of your hair in no time.” Levi gives Jean a smile, you think, but it comes off a little more devilish than kind. With that, he shoved the folder full of papers into Jean’s chest, which the manicured man reflexively grips, and disappeared into the kitchen once more with a quick and hard half-smack half-pat on the forearm.

“Jesus H Christ” Jean muttered with a sigh, using his free hand to pinch the bridge of his nose and draw a deep breath. Silence permeates the air.

After a few moments, he tucks the folder under his arm, clapping his hands together once. He smiles, but it doesn’t reach his eyes, and you can tell from the tension on his lips he’d really rather be doing anything else.

“Alright, let’s get started!”

As the day went on, you started to get more comfortable. Despite his initial attitude, you found him to be an excellent mentor, and a damn good waiter. You watched and shadowed as he effortlessly charmed customers of all ages, and seemed to never make a single mistake. It was almost impressive. You’d never even given thought to the amount of personality and effort that was going to go into this job, but watching him made you a little nervous. You could understand why Levi would “spoil” him, and also make him train. An employee like that had to be invaluable. You could also see why he’d be upset about having to split his tips with you.

As clueless as you were, you did your best, but ended up being a glorified tray holder, a drink refiller, an accessory to all his hard work. You certainly didn’t think you deserved half his tips either.

After the initial rush, Jean lead you back to the kitchen. Expo was a wreck, stray food and sauce splattered on the counters and floors. Lost receipt papers and drink spillage decorated the small space, making it feel all the more cramped and intimate.

“So, we’re by default the last one’s cut for this shift since you’re training-” He speaks as the two of you round the corner “-usually around this time is when we’d clean up for the next rush. If you don't you’ll track barbecue sauce on your feet all the way home, I swear to god. I found a spot of it in my bed once, after I showered-”

Go exclaim a small “Ew!” at the visual, he nods his head and gives a sly grin, never stopping his movement until the two of you had settled on the counter across from the expo station that propped up shelving with extra condiments, ramekins, and utensils. Effortlessly, he reaches his hand up to the very top, producing the blue folder you’d long since forgotten.

“Anyway” he continued “-you still have to fill out your new hire paperwork. So you’re gonna sit here and do that and I’m gonna go take a smoke break before I come back and clean up.”.

He passes the folder to you. You take it, and then give him a questioning look.

“You sure? That hardly seems fair.”

A sigh.

“Training is always unfair. It’s not your fault.” the irritation starts to return to his face.

“Right. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be. Like I said, not your fault.” A moment later, he had disappeared outside and you were left to fill out your paperwork. It was typical new hire bureaucracy. You’d filled out six of these forms in the past year. Lucky number 7, perhaps? You hoped.

Levi had been right about your shoes. You tried to ignore the stabbing pain radiating from your feet as you answered the questions almost automatically, leaning further on the counter to shift more of your weight to your arms than your legs. There would be blisters tomorrow, you were almost certain of it.

“Aye, new girl-” a voice behind you drew your attention and you whipped around in a mild panic, unaware anyone was even acknowledging your presence. One of the line cooks is peering at you from behind the expo shelf, dipped down to meet your gaze. You recognize him instantly. The green-eyed man who’d caught you acting a fool in the parking lot yesterday. All you could really make out were his eyes, but that’s all you needed. They were insanely vibrant, a jungle when you’d only seen pine forests. Your cheeks flushed despite yourself.

“Hmm?” you nodded like you were expecting instruction, and he takes you by surprise.

“What do you want for lunch?”

Your head cocked to the side, brow furrowed in mild confusion. He sighs, as if he’s explained this a time or two before.

“You get one meal per shift, Levi says a restaurant that can’t afford to feed it’s own staff is bound to fail.”

“Uhm…”

Oh god, you wish he’d quit looking at you. Your brain felt melted and slushy, and you couldn’t quite understand why. You were no stranger to men, no stranger to hot men, but with his viridescent gaze locked on your face you felt like you couldn’t move. It felt like the top hill of a rollercoaster, right before the drop, when your body was most rigid, anticipating the rush of the fall.

As you floundered, you could swear for a moment you saw the corners of his eyes crinkle, as if he were smirking. Did he know?

“Yeager makes a damn good Reuben.”

You jump and jerk your head toward the familiar voice, as if caught doing something wrong. Jean was slipping back through the door and pulling an apron on in preparation for his cleaning duties, his next words muffled at first as he slid it over his head “And you know it’s good if I’m willing to give him of all people a compliment over it.”.

“...Then I guess I have to try it, right?” Your eyes slide back over to the line cook, but he's already backing away from the window, a shit eating grin plastering his face.

“Im about to blow your fucking mind.” He promised, and walked to the other end of the kitchen to retrieve a few things. You crack a smile at his disposition. Cocky, arrogant, but underneath the initial layer seemed to be a boyish excitement, like he was really looking forward to making you food.

“We’ll see about that!” You called to him, only being able to catch a dismissive hand wave as he disappeared into the walk-in freezer.

As you settled back into your paperwork and Jean into cleaning, the two of you make light chatter, and you try to stop yourself from peering over the expo line to catch a glimpse of those eyes again.

“So, what are you doing here anyway?” Jean asks casually as he returns from the back with a mop bucket “No offense, but you kind of seem like the type to be working a casual office job somewhere, not busting your ass for tips.”

You watch as he rings an unholy amount of water onto the floor and then return your eyes to your paperwork, debating whether or not to tell the truth.

“Too personal?” He prods again after a moment of silence. “No!” you retort quickly, and then concede with a sigh:

“It’s kind of embarrassing, but my parents are real shitbags. Lost custody of my sister last year and now I’m her sole guardian. Turns out keeping a job and having a kid dumped on you unexpectedly is pretty hard.”

“Damn.”

“Yeah.”

“How old is she?”

“Four.”

Jean tensed slightly, paused to look up at you. You hated that face. It was the same one everyone gave you. Somewhere between pity and remorse. “Don’t you even try to feel bad for me. You know how many jobs I’ve had in the last year?” you attempted to lighten the mood. He shook his head.

“Six.”

At this, the tension broke and he raised his eyebrows, his mouth parted in an “o” of surprise that quickly transitioned into an incredulous smirk. Momentarily, he rested the mop in the crook of his arm to hold up all five fingers on one hand and a thumb.

“This many?!”

You both erupt into a fit of giggles as you nod, your face reddening at the embarrassment and silliness of it all.

“Okay, okay-” Jean shook his head as he returned to his work “- but is that just like, because of the kid or have you always been this bad?”. He gives you a look to tell you he’s teasing.

“No!” You defend yourself, your voice still lighthearted “I had a job for years before this, thank you very much! I sold and repaired musical instruments.”

He seemed surprised at this, his teasing smile turning genuine as he questioned further:

“Oh, word?!”

You nodded, proud.

“You play?”

You nodded again and he waved his hand in the air as if to say “Go on-”

“Uhhm, piano. Guitar, Violin, Banjo, anything with strings, really. Drums, woodwinds-”

You’re cut off by the clatter of a plate on the expo line. Yeager! You’d gotten lost in conversation and completely forgotten about him. He’s peering at you from across the line, his brow raised and expectant. You remembered his promise from earlier. You make your way over and grab the plate, eyeing it over once you’ve set it on the counter. It smells delicious, and looks even better. The bread of the sandwich is meticulously grilled, the marks from the searing a perfect shade of brown. Cheese and meat spills from the edges in a manner that almost seems intentional, not too sloppy to pick up, just enough to advertise what’s in store for you.

He cleared his throat expectantly, and you could've stopped breathing when you realized he had slid back so he could watch the entirety of your face. From this angle and distance, you can make out every detail of his face. Strong jawline, angel skin, puppy dog lashes and all. You try not to think about an incredibly attractive man watching you eat.

Hesitantly, you pick up the reuben and take a bite. The taste floods your senses. Its salty, tangy and savory, though not overpowering. The corned beef practically melts against your tongue and your find yourself closing your eyes and leaning in to the texture, bringing your free hand to your mouth to let a garbled “Holy fuck-” escape your lips. Were you starving before this moment? You were now.

When you open your eyes, Yeager’s eyeing you with a wicked prideful glint in his gaze. He wraps his knuckles against the counter twice and turns to clean up after himself, energized by your reaction. You don’t have to tell him it’s good, he already knew.

The rest of the shift passed slowly without incident. You finished your paperwork, turned it into Levi, and shamefully divided up tips you didn’t deserve with Jean. You’d tried to insist on him keeping all, and then three quarters in his favor, but he refused. Something told you if he didn’t know about Ellie he maybe wouldn’t have had the same attitude.

Your thoughts were on getting home as quickly as possible by the end of the day. Your feet were on fire, and you hadn’t moved that much sense… well. Your last job. Momentarily defeated, you sunk into the driver's seat of your beat up car, for once appreciating its torn seats and mildly stinky interior. Your head resting back against the seat and your eyes closed, you had the thought that there was probably an old sippy cup rolling around in the back somewhere, but knew you couldn’t be arsed to look for it until the stench became unbearable.

You still had so much to do. You needed to pick Ellie up, do the laundry, use the money you’d earned that day to go to Wal-Mart and buy a new pair of shoes for fucks sake, which meant you’d have to take Ellie with you, and then bring her back home, find time to make dinner-

Just as you’re starting to get overwhelmed, there's a light knocking on your driver’s side window that causes you to startle slightly. It’s Yeager, as everyone called him. You rolled down the window and he immediately held out a white to-go container. He had to bend down to look at you, using his free arm to rest his weight against the roof of your car.

“What’s this?” you question, reaching your hand out to take it from him regardless.

“For the baby.” He answered plainly, his face completely unreadable but his tone soft.

It immediately takes a load off you as you hesitantly pop the container open to reveal a grilled cheese and a side of fries. You recognized it from the kids menu. That's one less thing you have to deal with.

“Yeager, thank you-” You breathe, but when you look back up to meet his gaze he’s already gone, trekking across the parking lot and loading himself into an S.U.V.

What is Smoke Testing in Retail

Smoke testing, in the context of software testing, refers to a preliminary type of testing to check the basic functionalities of a newly developed or recently updated software application.

The term comes from the analogy of "turning on the power for the first time" – just as you'd check for smoke when first powering up an electrical device to ensure it's not fundamentally broken, you perform smoke tests on software to ensure basic functions work before proceeding to more in-depth testing.

In the retail industry, software plays a crucial role, be it in e-commerce platforms, point-of-sale systems, inventory management, or other retail management software. Here's how smoke testing might be applied in a retail context:

E-commerce Platforms: After a new release or update, testers might perform a smoke test where they:

Browse some product categories.

Add a few items to the cart.

Start the checkout process. This ensures that basic buying functions work as expected.

Point-of-Sale (POS) Systems: For these critical systems in physical stores, a smoke test might involve:

Processing a basic sale.

Applying a discount or promo code.

Making a return or exchange.

Generating a daily sales report.

Inventory Management Systems: A smoke test on an updated inventory system might involve:

Checking the addition of new inventory items.

Updating the count of existing items.

Generating a basic inventory report.

Retail Management Software: This encompasses a broad category of software solutions. A smoke test could involve:

Creating a new customer profile.

Logging a customer complaint or feedback.

Checking integration with other systems like e-commerce or POS.

Mobile Applications: Many retailers have mobile apps for shopping or loyalty programs. A smoke test after an update could include:

Launching the app.

Browsing products or rewards.

Viewing account details.

Hardware Integration: Retail often involves integrated systems like barcode scanners, credit card readers, or digital kiosks. Smoke testing might ensure these integrations work smoothly. For instance:

Scanning an item's barcode and ensuring it's added to a POS system.

Making a payment with a credit card and ensuring the transaction is processed correctly.

The primary objective of smoke testing in retail, as with other industries, is to quickly identify and address any major issues that could prevent further, more detailed testing or that could negatively impact the user's experience. Given the direct consumer interaction in retail, ensuring software and systems work flawlessly is crucial to maintaining a positive customer experience and brand reputation.

Joseph Walter Epply | SMOKE SHOP CREDIT CARD PROCESSING

Smoke Shop Merchants

The banking industry, as well as the government, are heavily involved in the licensing and regulation of this sector. Because of this, starting an internet business in this industry is more expensive and difficult for merchants. Having difficulty selling online is a problem for even retailers that already have retail merchant accounts set up.

Merchant accounts should take payments in a variety of methods, which include the following: POS systems, which accept credit cards, are the major form of payment. Another technique is to employ payment gateways that are incorporated into a merchant's website's shopping cart.

Finding a reputable smoke shop merchant services supplier that can supply you with cost-effective and hassle-free solutions is all that is required of you. As one of the few payment processors that accepts smoke shop merchants, connected is a unique and valuable resource.

HOW DOES A MERCHANT ACCOUNT WORK?

Because of the apparent convenience factor, consumers all over the world prefer to use credit and debit cards rather than cash when making purchases. It will be required for the firm to work together on this project with a payment processor and establish a merchant account in order to take payments. Payments are processed through the use of a virtual credit card terminal. The integration of the payment gateway into the shopping cart on the merchant's ecommerce website is an alternate solution. Transactions completed through the merchant account are subject to a fee charged by the credit card processing firm. Joseph Walter Epply

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO GET ACCEPTED OR TO GET DENIED?

A firm is often labelled high risk if it exhibits the following characteristics:

a high chargeback ratio 

It keeps track of a huge number of fictitious transactions. 

It offers things that are only suitable for people of a certain age.

In addition, it participates in dubious commercial tactics. 

It is a segment of a sector that is governed by a set of tight rules and regulations.

Because of the materials they offer, smoke shops and head shops are frequently scrutinized by law enforcement. As a result, they are at danger of "reputational harm." One of the most serious risks is the unethical buying of items by children.
