Santé, a point-of-sale and operations platform for independent liquor and wine shops, raised a $15M Series A led by FINTOP, six months after its $7.6M seed round. The New York startup combines checkout, online ordering, marketing, and subscriptions in one system, pulls in delivery orders from DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Instacart, and tracks industry specifics like kegs, vintages, and mixed-case discounts. Santé will use the money to build AI agents that do more of the store’s work, such as flagging slow-selling bottles with pricing suggestions, reading distributor invoices to update stock and costs, and setting staff schedules. It says nearly 1,000 retailers use the platform and process about $2B in sales a year through it.
