The compliance-first platform alcohol delivery needs.
Retailer relationships the national platforms can't replicate at scale.
Get in touchPurpose-built beats bolted-on, every time.
Compliance-first, not compliance-bolted-on
General platforms treat alcohol as an aftermarket add-on. Age verification, dram shop exposure, and retailer licensing get handled as afterthoughts. Umpire builds compliance into the foundation from day one.
A gap the national platforms leave open
Alcohol delivery requires specialized retailer relationships, state by state regulatory expertise, and dedicated compliance infrastructure that general delivery platforms aren't built for. Reno is too small for the national players to prioritize right now. That's our window.
Technology intermediary, not the seller
Umpire never takes title to, possession of, or ownership interest in any product. Licensed retailers hold the liquor license and the point of sale liability. We connect retailer, courier, and customer.
Subscription revenue, aligned incentives
We earn no transaction fees. Revenue comes from subscriptions, so our incentive is a reliable, compliant platform retailers want to stay on, not squeezing every order.
A repeatable playbook, proven in two markets first.
Umpire is built asset-light from day one. Retail and courier partners carry fulfillment, and Umpire owns the technology, the brand, and the customer relationship. That discipline is what lets the same infrastructure, courier playbook, and subscription model move from one market to the next as a configuration exercise, not a rebuild.
Reno-Sparks
The proving ground. Compliance, courier recruitment, and retailer agreements validated here before anything scales.
Las Vegas & surrounding areas
Same infrastructure, same playbook, sized up for tourism and event demand. A configuration exercise, not a rebuild.
The next market, evaluated on merit
No new geography gets built until the two market system is proven replicable. The next city is chosen on its own merits, when the timing is right.
A phased, risk-managed rollout.
Legal & Compliance
Entity formation, municipal licensing, financial infrastructure.
Digital & Testing
Website, dispatch rails, and a friends-and-family beta run to find early routing issues.
Fleet & DOT Setup
DOT clearance, first delivery vehicle, and a plan to scale the fleet as routes stabilize.
Go-To-Market
Secure baseline client volume, then expand distributor coverage and stress-test operations.
Reinvest & Tech
Route early revenue back into the business, build financial credibility, fund the proprietary dispatch app.
Long-Term Scale
Standardize SOPs, build autonomous local teams, and replicate the model in new territories.
