SEED SELF SERVICE
Self-service kiosks for Montana dispensaries
Shorter lines, bigger carts, and loyalty sign-ups that happen on their own — kiosks synced live to your POS. Montana’s green counties carry the whole state’s demand, tourist traffic included — small teams running big rooms.
KIOSKS IN MONTANA
Built for the room Montana actually has
Regulars want out in five minutes; first-timers want to read without being hovered over. Kiosks serve both: an express lane for the shoppers who know their order, and pressure-free browsing for the ones still deciding — sort, filter, and read at their own pace, which matters in a store where the products live behind glass. Checkout asks for three things — first name, last name, phone number — and the order lands in your POS.
40% higher average order value
Nobody explores add-ons while a line forms behind them. Kiosks let shoppers browse without the clock — and our recommendation engine suggests relevant products at the moments that matter. Less rush, bigger carts.
150% more loyalty sign-ups
Enrollment happens at the kiosk, mid-order, with no extra step at the counter — which is why stores see dramatically more sign-ups than on standard kiosks. Loyalty grows while the line moves.
Your brand on the glass, not ours
Kiosks are fully white-label: your colors, your logo, your voice. And checkout asks shoppers for exactly three things — first name, last name, phone number — because sixteen form fields is how you end a line-skipping express lane.

IN-STORE SCREEN RULES · MONTANA
What you can show on screens in Montana
Montana bars licensees from advertising marijuana or marijuana products except through age-gated electronic advertising, and prohibits television, radio, print, billboards, mascots, and youth-appealing imagery. Inside the licensed premises, though, the rule states that information about special pricing, sales, or discounts on display within a licensed premises is not advertising, and the Department’s guide repeats this, so an in-store screen may show products, prices, sales, and discounts. Signage of any kind may not claim products are safe (lab-tested statements are allowed), and health, therapeutic, or medicinal claims and depictions of consumption are barred in electronic advertising; whether product-specific promotion on an interior screen is restricted is not addressed. Outdoor signage may not use slang or product imagery and must comply with local ordinances, with proof kept on site. Every point of sale must display the Department’s consumer education poster, entry notices are required, and the Department no longer pre-reviews advertising content.
Applies to: adult-use and medical licensees. Regulator: Montana Department of Revenue, Cannabis Control Division.
- Licensees may not advertise marijuana or marijuana products except in electronic advertising; they may promote the business and market the brand. “A licensee may promote its business and market its brand but may not advertise marijuana or marijuana products except in electronic advertising.” (MCA 16-12-211(1); ARM 42.39.123(1))

- Signage, including indoor signage, may not assert products are safe; lab-tested statements are allowed. “engage in advertising or utilize signage that asserts its products are safe” (ARM 42.39.123(11)(d), (13))
- No health, therapeutic, or medicinal claims and no depiction of consumption in electronic advertising; the rule is silent on in-premises displays. “makes any health, therapeutic, or medicinal claims about marijuana or marijuana products” (MCA 16-12-211(3)(a))
- No toys, inflatables, movie or cartoon characters, or any image likely to appeal to youth. (ARM 42.39.123(11)(f))
- No television, radio, or print advertising; whether an in-store video screen is "television" is not addressed. (ARM 42.39.123(11)(c))
- Outdoor signage may not use slang for marijuana or product or smoke imagery; whether a screen visible through a window is outdoor signage is not addressed. “A licensee’s outdoor signage may not use colloquial terms for marijuana or marijuana products (e.g., pot, reefer, weed)” (ARM 42.39.123(6)-(7))
- Samples, "free" products, contests, and sweepstakes with marijuana prizes are restricted content per the Department’s guide. (Montana DOR Cannabis Business Marketing and Advertising Guide)
- Every point of sale must conspicuously display the consumer education poster required by statute; entry notices (21+ or registry card, no on-site consumption) are required. “All marijuana dispensaries must conspicuously display the poster required by 16-12-215, MCA, at each point-of-sale such that it is clearly visible to a customer.” (ARM 42.39.122 (as amended August 22, 2026); MCA 16-12-215)
- Proof of compliance with local sign ordinances must be kept on site; no state sign count or size limit was found. No pre-approval (the Department no longer reviews advertising content), no fee, and no video-specific rule was found. (ARM 42.39.105(6)(a); DOR newsletter, May 2026)
Potency on menus: No rule found for menus or screens. Potency appears in labeling and packaging rules and in the statutory poster text.
Where the rule is "keep it accurate," a menu that reads from the POS does the work: sold-out products drop off on their own and the price on the wall is the price at the register. Where the rule is about content, the layout and the campaign are yours to keep inside the lines.
