Where we take work off the queue

Support built around the dispensary day.

Each service starts with the work as it actually happens: who asks, which system holds the record, what good output looks like, and when an exception must go back to your team.

Front-of-House Dispensary Support

Trained remote administrators answer routine customer questions, coordinate pickup requests, and route complaints so budtenders can stay with the customers in front of them.

METRC Administrative Support

Administrative preparation for track-and-trace entries, package records, transfers, and reconciliation, completed under your SOPs and reviewed before submission.

Dispensary POS Administration

Administrative support for menu updates, promotion setup, end-of-day reporting, and reconciliation preparation inside your point-of-sale system.

Hemp E-Commerce Customer Service

Remote inbox and order support for hemp and CBD brands, with approved product language, careful returns handling, and clear escalation.

COA Administration

Organized certificate-of-analysis intake, indexing, expiry tracking, and distribution support so current lab documents are easy to find and request.

Age-Gated Marketing Operations

Administrative marketing support for cannabis brands: content calendars, email setup, approved social scheduling, and campaign reporting.

Dispensary Billing and Accounting Support

Administrative finance support for dispensaries: vendor invoice intake, accounts payable preparation, payroll data checks, and reconciliation records.

Founder Admin and Executive Support

Executive administrative support for cannabis founders: calendar coordination, inbox triage, meeting preparation, vendor follow-up, and travel logistics.

The operator control map

Delegate administration, not licensed authority.

A useful support role is explicit about its edges. We write those edges into the role before launch so your managers are not pulled into every routine task, and your assistant is not asked to make calls that belong to the business.

Delegated administration

Customer replies, menu updates, record collection, invoice entry, calendar coordination, and other repeatable work completed inside your written procedure.

Reviewed with you

Exceptions, unclear requests, and anything touching inventory, discounts, or regulated records come back with context for an authorized person to decide.

Retained by your operator

Age verification, purchase limits, product advice, inventory release, cash control, tax positions, and compliance sign-off stay with your licensed team.

Your jurisdiction, license type, and internal policy determine the final boundaries. Review them with us before launch.

Floor and back office

The floor stays with your team. The follow-up does not have to.

A busy dispensary creates a second shift of work that never appears on the sales floor: menu copy that no longer matches the shelf, vendor invoices waiting for coding, customer questions that arrive after close, and records that need to be complete before a manager can review them.

DispensaryVA places an administrator against those queues. The work is planned, documented, and checked. Your budtenders stay with customers, your managers keep approval, and the paperwork stops arriving in one pile at the end of the week.

  • Coverage shaped around your open hours and time zone
  • Written escalation paths for exceptions and urgent issues
  • Minimum-necessary access to the systems in scope
How the operating model works

A controlled start

The role is designed before it is filled.

We do not begin with a resume pile. We begin with the work, the systems, the access limits, and the person who will review the output.

Document first

We turn the recurring queue into a short written procedure with owners, examples, and escalation triggers before anyone starts.

Match the actual work

Candidates are reviewed against the tools, communication style, and administrative judgment your role requires, not a generic resume keyword.

Keep authority visible

The operator control map is part of the role. Your team can see what is delegated, what is reviewed, and what is never handed over.

Review the output

Weekly checks cover accuracy, missed items, response quality, and exceptions. The scope changes when the work changes.
