A Simple, Modern Alternative to Dutchie for Digital Menus
Trikome is a simple, modern alternative to Dutchie for dispensaries that want fast, flexible digital menu boards without relying on a full POS system.

At a glance
Why choose Trikome over Dutchie
Dutchie is a complete cannabis retail platform. It combines POS, e-commerce, payments, inventory, and marketing into one system designed to run your entire dispensary.
Trikome takes a more focused approach. Instead of replacing your POS, it improves your in-store menu experience. You can create digital menu boards, organize products into collections, and push updates instantly to every screen — without depending on POS workflows.
This makes Trikome faster to set up and easier to manage for teams that just want better menus. You can go live in minutes, update pricing or promotions instantly, and control multiple screens from one place.
Dutchie also offers menu management and real-time updates, but these are tightly tied to its broader system and workflows.
In short, Dutchie is built to run your entire dispensary, while Trikome is built to make your menu faster, simpler, and easier to manage in-store.
Dutchie runs your entire operation. Trikome makes your storefront unforgettable.
An all-in-one platform means tradeoffs. Your menu display shouldn't be the feature that got the least attention. Trikome gives your products the premium presentation they deserve — no matter what POS runs behind the scenes.

POS-agnostic — switch platforms without losing your menu setup
Dutchie ties you to their ecosystem. Trikome lets you change POS, ecommerce, or any other vendor while your menu displays stay consistent and operational.
Purpose-built for cannabis menu browsing patterns
Strain types, THC percentages, size-specific pricing — Trikome understands cannabis product data natively. Your menu displays information the way customers shop.
