What Is DopeCast?
DopeCast is a digital signage and menu platform built for cannabis retail businesses, from independent dispensaries to multi-state operators. The software links with store's POS, which enables the outlet to display products without needing manual data entry. Retailers can run on existing TVs via Fire TV, Google TV, or Android TV devices. It offers light and dark display modes that can switch automatically by time of day, keeping content easy to read from morning to closing.
What Is DopeCast Best For?
DopeCast stands out for its AI-powered product highlighting, which brings featured products forward and rotates promotions on screen automatically. Instead of staff choosing what to show and editing each screen, DopeCast uses product, price, and stock data from the dispensary POS to give top deals the most attention. This suits dispensaries that want screens to promote featured deals without staff editing each one.
How Much Does DopeCast Cost?
DopeCast pricing starts from $30/screen/month for live POS sync, unlimited menu and layout changes, scheduled promotions, multi-store management, and support. The monthly cost is capped at $120/store, so screens added after the fourth cost nothing extra.
In addition, businesses should keep the following potential costs in mind based on the industry benchmarks:
- Implementation And Setup: Included in the base cost
- Advanced Custom Menu Design: $200–$1,000
- Display Hardware: $200–$800/screen
Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

DopeCast Use Cases
Based on DopeCast's market positioning, here are different ways that the platform can be used:
Independent Dispensaries Keeping Menus Accurate With A Small Team
DopeCast removes sold-out products from the menu automatically, so an independent dispensary doesn't need staff to watch the screens. This matters in small shops because stock is limited and a popular item can run out by midday, leaving customers asking for products that are gone. Each time that happens, a budtender stops explaining, and the line slows. Since the screens follow the POS, the menu shows only what the store can sell. A board that customers can trust also makes a small shop look well organized.
Multi-State Operators Adapting Menus To Different State Rules
DopeCast offers multi-state operators custom menu screens that connect to the POS and follow the operator’s own requirements. Each state has its own rules for how products are listed and presented, so a layout that suits one market may not fit another. The sales team handles these requests, and the screens keep product data live while the design is adjusted. Because the screens are customized and not taken from a fixed template, the operator keeps more control over how each market’s screens look.
Dispensaries Giving New Products Launches Visibility On The Menu
A new launch can get lost in a long list of similar items, and customers have little reason to ask about something they have not seen. DopeCast shows Staff Pick, New and Sale tags puled from the POS, so the screen and the register stay consistent, and promo screens add room for new arrivals and brand spotlights. Since the menus carry no outside ads, every product on screen belongs to the store. This gives dispensaries a clear way to introduce new items without crowding the menu.
Multi-Location Dispensary Chains Keeping Promotions And Hours Consistent
Multi-location chains manage every store’s screens from one DopeCast login, with content controlled centrally. When each location updates its own screens, promotions and hours drift apart, and the brand looks different from one store to the next. Scheduling content by time of day, including closed hours, keeps each screen in step with its store’s schedule, and menu and layout changes can be made from the same login. With central control, the head office sets the look of every store without relying on each team to do it.
Is DopeCast Right For You?
DopeCast may be a good fit for dispensaries that want more than a menu board from a single vendor, since it also offers self-service kiosks for ordering, which can shorten lines and free budtenders to help customers who need more guidance.
DopeCast collects identity, contact, technical, and usage data through its website and services. It uses this data to register customers, provide product and service information, manage customer relationships, and improve its offering. Security measures protect personal data from loss, unauthorized access, alteration, and disclosure, and users have the right to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of their personal data. Buyers should still confirm that this meets their own legal and data protection requirements.

DopeCast Features
Vertical And Horizontal Menu Layouts
Stores can show the DopeCast menu in portrait or landscape mode, depending on the wall space they have. The portrait layout fits 40 or more products on a single 55-inch screen, which suits large product ranges and narrow counter areas. The landscape layout shows fewer products in more detail, with larger images, strain descriptions, and pricing tiers, and it leaves room for extra content beside the menu.
Multi-Screen Store Screen Management
Stores can run anywhere from one screen to six or more with DopeCast, matched to the size of the product range. A store with fewer than 50 products suits a single screen, while one with 50 to 150 products suits two or three. Larger stores add category menus behind the counter and a screen at the entrance, giving each area of the store a clear purpose.
Self-Service Kiosks
DopeCast turns a sales-floor screen into a self-service kiosk that runs on the same live POS data as the menu boards. Shoppers can filter products by category and compare THC and CBD content and prices before they reach the counter. Each store chooses how far its kiosks go: browse-only, or order building and self-checkout. A budtender still completes ID verification and payment at the counter, so every sale follows the store’s age-gated process.
Printable Menu Maker
Stores that also need paper menus get a web-based menu maker with DopeCast. It turns products and prices into print-ready counter menus, budtender handouts, and daily specials sheets, with no design software or downloads needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do DopeCast menu screens show ads?
No, DopeCast menu screens show only a dispensary’s own products and promotions. DopeCast’s brand advertising runs on a separate network on the ATM screens inside licensed New Jersey dispensaries and runs separately from dispensary menus.
Do customers pay at a DopeCast kiosk, or does a budtender finish the order?
That depends on how a dispensary sets up DopeCast and what local rules allow. Many dispensaries use the DopeCast kiosk for browsing and order building, then have a budtender verify ID and complete payment.
What is the difference between a DopeCast kiosk and a DopeCast digital menu board?
A DopeCast digital menu board is a display that customers read from a distance. A DopeCast kiosk is interactive, so customers walk up and browse, filter, and build an order on their own. Both run on the same live POS data, and many dispensaries use both together.
What states does DopeCast serve?
DopeCast serves dispensaries in all 50 US states plus the District of Columbia, including California, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Massachusetts, Michigan, Illinois, Nevada, and Arizona, as well as every other state where cannabis is legally sold. Its coverage also extends to Canada.
What size TV should a dispensary buy for DopeCast?
A 55-inch TV suits most dispensaries using DopeCast, since it is large enough to read from across the room and small enough to mount without major construction. A 43-inch TV suits smaller spaces or side displays.
