Connecticut compliance, already built in.

CTRV deposits, DCP minimum bottle pricing, and Dram Shop-ready records — handled inside the sale, not stitched together after it.

CTRV deposits rung correctly on every covered container, the way DEEP requires it.

Where Connecticut compliance slips

A busy Friday is exactly when the deposit count still needs to add up.

Every covered container needs the right $0.10 CTRV deposit rung at the register, on top of whatever the posted minimum bottle price requires — and neither number shows up on a normal price tag. Every sale needs both figures right, and every return needs to reconcile with what actually gets redeemed.

The problem is rarely intent. Checks built into the workflow run every time; checks that depend on memory don't.

You run the store. We make sure the deposit and the price floor both hold.

Where it gets missed

  • CTRV deposits rung at the wrong container type, or missed entirely
  • No record of which patron looked visibly intoxicated, if a Dram Shop claim ever comes
  • Bottles sold below the DCP-posted minimum price without anyone noticing
  • Redemption returns tracked on a separate spreadsheet instead of inside the sale

How mPower Helps in Connecticut

CTRV compliance, handled inside the sale.

Connecticut requires a $0.10 deposit on every covered container, plus a DCP-posted price floor on every bottle. mPower builds the deposit, the minimum price, and the compliance record into the daily workflow — not a monthly scramble.

CTRV deposits, calculated automatically

Every covered container — beer, hard seltzer, hard cider, and more — rings up with the correct $0.10 Connecticut Redemption Value automatically, kept separate from sales tax.

Minimum bottle pricing, built in

DCP's monthly posted bottle and case price floors are enforced right at the register, so nothing ever rings up under the state-mandated minimum.

ID scanning built for Connecticut

Reads a Connecticut driver's license instantly — extracting date of birth and giving a clear pass or fail at the register in under a second.

Shared Navigation

A missed deposit isn't a number you can trust.

DCP doesn't grade on effort. mPower keeps the CTRV deposit, the minimum price floor, and the redemption record assembled automatically as the day happens, not reconstructed after an audit.

That's what “shared navigation” means for Connecticut operators: a second set of eyes on every sale, so yours can stay on the counter.
