What's the Company Culture Like at Scotch?
Frequently Asked Questions
Scotch is a collaborative, high-performance, and low-ego environment where people genuinely enjoy working together. We move quickly, set a high bar for ourselves, and believe the best ideas come from open discussion, curiosity, and continuous learning—not hierarchy.
Our culture is grounded in our five core values:
- Trust is our #1 Feature: We lead with transparency, integrity, and accountability.
- Sharpen Each Other's Steel: We challenge and support one another to do our best work.
- Merchandiser Mentality: We all pitch in, own outcomes, and do what's needed to move the business forward.
- Quality in our Craft: We care deeply about building exceptional products and continuously improving how we work.
- Bias for Action: We value thoughtful execution and aren't afraid to roll up our sleeves to solve hard problems.
Our employees consistently describe Scotch as a place with "no stupid questions," where teammates are approachable, collaboration comes naturally, and everyone—from new hires to leaders—is empowered to contribute. They frequently mention our transparent leadership, talented and humble colleagues, autonomy to make an impact, and a shared excitement about building a product that makes a meaningful difference for our customers. The result is a culture that's ambitious, supportive, and focused on helping both the company and each other succeed.
Scotch teams collaborate as a distributed remote organization, with headquarters in Denver. That structure supports collaboration across functions focused on building an all-in-one operating system for liquor retailers, combining work across software, analytics, payments, e-commerce and AI to solve operational challenges like inventory management, speed and business intelligence.
Collaboration also extends beyond day-to-day remote work through company offsites that bring employees together in person to work alongside one another and strengthen relationships. The result is a team environment that blends flexible remote work with intentional in-person connection around a shared mission to help independent retailers save time, improve margins and focus more on their customers.
