Building a verified + AI-driven dispensary platform — need your insights 🌿

Hey everyone,

I’m in the middle of building a project called BudMenuz.com — a platform designed to make cannabis menus more trustworthy, accessible, and easy to manage.

Some of the key focuses so far:

• ✅ Verified dispensaries only — using license checks to help consumers know they’re dealing with legit operators.
• 📋 Menu management made simple — add products manually or upload a full CSV in seconds (POS integration in the works).
• 📍 Local deals + promotions — dispensaries can highlight specials to nearby customers within a set radius.
• 🤖 AI features — experimenting with tools to auto-generate product descriptions, standardize menus, and surface compliance info faster.
• 🌿 Consumer-friendly search — making it easy for people to find the right dispensary, brand, or deal.

I’m not here to advertise — I’d really appreciate feedback from cannabis professionals in this community:

• Do verified listings matter to your customers (or your business) as much as I think they do?
• What AI-powered features would actually help you day-to-day (vs. just sounding cool)?
• Are there any pitfalls I should watch out for as I keep building this?

This community has a ton of real-world experience, so I’d love to learn from you while I shape BudMenuz into something useful.

Thanks in advance 🙏
