Respect + Receipts

Written By Jordan Taylor

Admin Systems for a Cannabis Retail Startup

Client Type: Independent Cannabis Dispensary
Project: File Organization + Compliance Tracking

The Situation:
A newly opened dispensary was struggling to keep up with employee paperwork, compliance checklists, and onboarding logs required by local regulators. Team members were being hired quickly — but with no system to store IDs, training certs, or signed policies in one place.

The Approach:
I built a secure digital filing system organized by employee lifecycle and license type, added a tracker to monitor training renewals and onboarding milestones, and helped create a simple internal process for hiring managers to follow. I also reviewed the employee manual for tone and clarity, keeping it warm while staying compliant.

The Outcome:

  • The team passed its first surprise inspection with no documentation issues

  • Onboarding became smoother and more legally sound

  • Owners felt more confident navigating a high-risk, highly regulated space

“Jordan gave us the structure we didn’t know we needed — and helped us grow without falling behind on the boring-but-crucial stuff.”
