FoolProof is built in Alabama, for Alabama liquor and package stores — with the state's alcohol rules built in. Dry-county delivery rules for all 67 counties, sale hours in your own time zone, destination tax on deliveries, and the 24-hour delivery and pickup caps are already in the system, not something you track by hand.
Alabama isn't one set of alcohol rules — it's 67 counties of them, plus the cities. Some counties are dry, some are wet, and some dry counties have wet cities inside them. Sale hours vary, Sunday rules vary, and sales tax changes by jurisdiction. A generic register can't see any of that.
FoolProof can, because it was built here. Every county's wet/dry status and the wet cities inside the dry ones are built in, so a delivery to an address where it isn't allowed is refused before it is placed, and the destination's tax is applied automatically. That's what an Alabama alcohol POS should do out of the box.
Wet and dry status for every county, with the wet cities inside dry counties allowed and dry cities inside wet counties refused — matched on city limits, not the typed mailing city — so an address that can't be delivered to is blocked before the order, not after.
Your store's sale hours enforced at the register and for pickup and delivery, in your own time zone. Sunday is a local option in Alabama, so Sunday stays closed unless your city or county has authorized Sunday sales.
Your store's sales tax at the register, and for every delivery the rate where it lands — county, city limits or police jurisdiction — with sales-tax exports for your bookkeeper.
Age verification at the register and at the door, with every refusal the system makes logged automatically and staff logging their own in a couple of taps, with who, when and why — the record you want if anyone ever asks.
Buy by the case, sell by the single — with on-hand staying accurate both ways. The inventory math an Alabama package store actually runs on.
Once your store holds a Delivery Service License, it's your drivers and your rules — with sale-hour limits, the 75-mile cap, ID and signature at the door, and the destination's tax worked out for you.
Not a marketing graphic — the actual compliance map behind the app.
FoolProof carries Alabama's county boundaries with their wet/dry status and the wet municipalities inside the dry counties — the same data that decides whether a delivery address is allowed.
Ring a sale and your sale hours, age prompts, and sales tax are applied for you — so a busy Friday night doesn't turn into a compliance problem.
For deliveries, yes. Every delivery point is placed in its county and inside its city limits from US Census boundaries, not the mailing city typed in the address. Addresses in Alabama's 22 dry counties are refused, except inside the wet cities within them, and a dry city inside a wet county is refused too, each one added from its official record. Counter sales at your licensed store are not address-based, so wet/dry does not apply there.
FoolProof enforces your store's sale hours in your own time zone — at the register, offline, and for pickup and delivery — so staff can't accidentally ring a sale outside them. Sunday sales are a local option in Alabama, so Sunday stays closed unless your city or county has authorized Sunday sales, which we record when your store is set up.
Yes. The register charges your store's own sales tax rate, and for deliveries FoolProof works out the rate at the destination — county, city limits or police jurisdiction. It doesn't file beverage excise tax: an Excise / ABC volume report shows gallons by class with an estimate of the excise already paid upstream, and sales and sales-tax exports are there for your bookkeeper.
It's the same platform, tuned for Alabama. See the general alcohol POS and liquor store POS pages for the full feature set — this page focuses on how the compliance works here in Alabama.
