"We I.D."

Hey All!!

Something to share!

Please check out the photograph attached.
1.  Note how it is incorrect (no alcohol unless you were born before today).  ["But, Officer!  This 17 year old is TOTALLY legit!  Check out my electronic calendar!  He's older than today!]
2.  Did you know that the Cheers POS system has it so that you will not need one of these in your store?  Check out cheerspos.com or call us (800.769.5890) for a free demo.

Pinterest -- 40 Halloween Drinks

http://www.buzzfeed.com/…/40-adult-beverages-guaranteed-to-…

We are now enthralled with Pinterest. We found this there.

Not going to tease you ("15 blew our minds!"), no, this is what caused us to share this:

1. Pumpkin Pie Jello Shots
8. Petri Dish Shots
15. DIY Pumpkin Keg
18. Wolf's Bite {It's a shot. It has Lucid absinthe (YES, WE KNOW IT'S NOT THE REAL THING). That's not a common ingredient and it stands out. We wanted to bring this to your attention.}
21. Roasted Marshmallow Kahlua Shots
30. Beer Cooler Pumpkin
31. Poppin' Strawberry Bellini {with Pop Rocks. WITH Pop Rocks.}

Yes, it is a buzzfeed link, but, we found it on Pinterest. Check us out on Pinterest and what we share there (though we will try to share here as well).

~Cheers!

Blog Updates

Hey All!!

Have you noticed?  We made updates to our Blogger page this morning!  This page is MUCH easier to read.

Links are now in blue and everything has one solid background color.

Perhaps we will make fun changes in the future, but, for right now, we will stick to the basics.

~Cheers!

TSP100 Star Receipt Printer

Hey All!!

We here at Cheers POS are really excited to share this with you today! A liquor store we know uses the TSP100 Star Printer and at least one worker there LOVES it!! We thought we would share this with you in case you are in the need for a receipt printer. (It works great with the Cheers Point of Sale System!)

What makes this printer so great is how easy it is to load the paper -- just drop it in, pull the paper through the only opening, close the door and go. So simple. It takes very little time, allowing the cashier to get back to ringing up customers.

From the Star Micronics TSP100 page:

<<Introducing the TSP100 futurePRNT, the first all-in-one receipt printer. Yes, all the parts and software are included in one box. To get you setup quickly, we’ve included an internal power supply, interface cable, power cable, complete mounting kits and a paper roll. To bring you the future of receipt printing now, we’re also including a full set of software utilities. Redesign your receipt without modifying your application. Add your logo. Add coupons. Preview receipts and enhance bar codes. Included operating system drivers allow for ‘Plug & Play’ automatic installation.>>

If your business is in need of a printer, please remember this post and get a Star TSP100. We are not getting any remuneration for this, but, we believe in this product and think that it would help others.

~Cheers!

Cinnabon Shot!

Hey All!!

We just found a recipe for a "Fireball & Cream Soda"!  http://www.fireballdrinks.com/cinnabon-drink/ Cinnabon!! In a drink?! With alcohol!!?! YES!! VERY YES!!!

We could not pass this up and we could not pass on passing it along! This sounded way too fun (and after looking up rules and regulations for the past two days, we couldn't say, 'no,' to a cocktail recipe!). We hope this helps some of you out with a gathering (or an evening)!

Thank you, Fireball *goes to Like*!

~Cheers!

A History & Civics Lesson

Hey All!!

Today on Facebook we Liked the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association (http://www.nabca.org/) which came into existence in 1938, after prohibition. The NABCA represents the Control State Systems - jurisdictions that directly control the distribution and sale of alcoholic beverages within their borders. There are eighteen (18) control states (counting on the map on their page: http://www.nabca.org/States/States.aspx); Kansas is not one of them.

What does, "Control State," mean? According to the same page, "They control the sale of distilled spirits and, in some cases, wine through government agencies at the wholesale level. Thirteen of those jurisdiction also exercise control over retail sales for off-premises consumption; either through government-operated package stores or designated agents."

Please note that these states are all along the political board; the, "Control States," are both blue & red; one side is not monopolizing this; since we love looking for obvious answers and patterns, this surprised us.

What does the NABCA do? "Headquartered in the Washington, D.C. area, NABCA serves its members by providing research, analytics and alcohol regulatory information, and acts as liaison to federal, state and local governments, research groups, public health associations, the media and other organizations impacting alcohol policy." (http://www.nabca.org/page/about)

We have said it before and we will say it again: what are the alcohol laws regarding your state? It may be complicated. Check with your state.

~Cheers!
