If it's regulated, we've measured it
Industries The BARS Program serves
The BARS Program has been improving retail age-verification compliance across the retail landscape since 1997. The Red and Green Card system is both flexible and robust, so whether you are at a register, a table, or a bar, you can protect your business. If your product is regulated or age-restricted, we've checked it.
Industries we serve
BARS has deep experience helping retailers selling age-restricted products across the spectrum prevent fines and suspensions.
Convenience and fuel
The deepest age-restricted SKU mix in retail, moving at the fastest pace in the business. The hardest counter to protect.
Grocery
A broad mix of products at a single checkout moment adds complexity to your policy. BARS can catch what internal audits miss.
Liquor and beverage
There is no room for error when every product is age restricted. One missed ID can start a review, so these stores get visited more often.
Restaurants and bars
Server and bartender carding, measured in the middle of a rush instead of in a classroom.
Multi-unit franchise
One measurement that survives turnover and new ownership.
Manufacturer and brand partners
Independent data on how the retail channel handles your regulated category.
