State cannabis regulations require strict, documented age verification at every sale. Bar & Club Stats gives dispensaries a fast, phone-based ID scanning system with a timestamped compliance record built in.
Unlike a bar, a dispensary selling to a minor isn't just a fine — it can trigger state license suspension, mandatory compliance programs, and criminal liability. The regulatory bar is higher. Your verification system needs to match.
Every ID scan creates an automatic log — time, date, ID state, and confirmation of legal age. Stored in the cloud and accessible on demand for state inspections or audits.
Regulators distinguish between a visual check and a validated digital scan. Documented technology-assisted verification is the defensible standard cannabis operators need.
Compliance can't depend on individual staff judgment. An app-enforced scan at every transaction creates a repeatable, auditable process regardless of who's on shift.
No new POS hardware required. Use the camera on any iPhone or Android at your register or reception desk. Add a mag-stripe reader for faster throughput at the counter.
Reads barcode IDs from every US state and Canadian provinces. Also supports mobile driver's licenses (ISO 18013-5) and ePassports via NFC — ready for today's ID landscape.
Expired IDs and barcode validation failures are flagged immediately. Gives your staff a clear, consistent signal — no ambiguity, no uncomfortable judgment calls.
Cannabis regulators and state licensing boards don't just ask whether you checked IDs. They ask whether you can prove it.
Law enforcement and regulators across the country have consistently recognized technology-assisted ID verification as best practice for age-restricted businesses. For cannabis operators under heightened scrutiny, showing you use a professional scanning system is one of the clearest signals of a compliance-first operation.
Many US states provide some form of affirmative defense — a potential reduction or waiver of liability — for age-restricted businesses that use electronic ID verification when a minor presents a fake or altered ID. Laws vary significantly by state and by industry, and this is not legal advice. We strongly encourage you to ask your attorney or state licensing authority whether your jurisdiction offers this protection and how documented electronic scanning factors into it.
Every scan is timestamped and stored securely. Pull your records any time — for internal review, state inspection, or legal counsel.
Uses your phone's camera to read the barcode on the back of any US or Canadian driver's license. No new hardware investment to start.
For dispensaries with high transaction volumes, our optional hardware attachment reads magnetic stripe IDs for faster throughput at the counter.
Reads digital IDs (ISO 18013-5) and ePassports via NFC, keeping your compliance system current as more states roll out digital credentials.
Flag known problem patrons and create a logged refusal record — additional documentation of your proactive compliance practices.
Anonymous demographic data — age ranges, zip codes, visit patterns — helps you understand your customer base and market more effectively.
Add a free-text note to any transaction — "barcode unreadable, visual check performed," "out-of-state ID verified manually," "manager override." Every note enriches your compliance record for audit or inspection purposes.
Photograph passports, foreign IDs, or any document that can't be barcode-scanned. A timestamped photo attached to a scan record is exactly the kind of thorough documentation cannabis regulators expect from a compliance-first operation.
Present custom questions after each scan — loyalty program enrollment, consent acknowledgments, or any prompt relevant to your operation. Choose from free text, yes/no, or predefined multiple choice. Answers attach directly to the scan record.
