POS for Nashville convenience, grocery and liquor stores

Davidson County charges the maximum local option rate state law allows, 2.75% on top of the 7% state rate, for a pinned 9.75% at every Nashville register. That local rate only reached the cap on 1 February 2025, when Davidson County voters approved the Choose How You Move transit referendum and added a 0.5% surcharge on top of the prior 2.25% rate. By ordinance the surcharge sunsets once the transit programme's debt is retired, so this is not necessarily a permanent 9.75%. Storeveu holds the state rate centrally and each store's local rate as an override, so your Nashville stores ring the current figure without you tracking the change by hand.

Nashville's own Metro Beer Permit Board sets these hours under Metro Code 7.08.140, not a single statewide clock. Sales are banned from 3am to 6am Monday through Saturday and from 3am to 10am on Sunday, so Sunday beer sales start at 10am here, which is not necessarily the hour a neighbouring Tennessee county's own board has set. Wine and spirits still follow the same statewide TABC rules that apply to every Tennessee store. Storeveu prompts for date of birth on every alcohol sale and keeps the register scoped to the categories your permit actually covers.

Not automatically. Metro Code 7.08.090 blocks a new beer permit within 100 feet of a church, school or playground, park, licensed daycare or nursery, or a one or two family dwelling, measured building to building. There is an urban services district exception for on premise locations, and a grandfather clause protects any location that already held a permit before 26 May 1992. It is worth checking this distance before signing a lease, since it can rule out an otherwise workable Nashville site regardless of your eligibility under Tennessee's own wine or spirits rules elsewhere.

No to both. Tennessee state law preempts every city, Nashville included, from banning or taxing plastic and paper bags, so despite a 2019-era Metro Council proposal, there is no Nashville bag fee to configure at the register. There is also no Nashville-specific restaurant, meals or sweetened beverage tax; prepared food follows the same statewide rate already published on the Tennessee state page. Storeveu's per-department tax rules keep that class separate from the reduced grocery rate on your Nashville registers.
