Patronscan is a proud Allied Member of the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association (MLBA), the trade association that has protected and promoted Minnesota's licensed beverage retailers since 1953.
Minnesota businesses operating under state liquor laws and subject to AGE inspections have reported up to a 97% reduction in security-related events after adopting Patronscan.
Manual checks alone are an increasingly risky way to verify age at the door
AGE inspections and Minnesota’s alcohol laws mean getting age verification wrong carries real risk to a venue’s liquor license
High-traffic venues need a front door that works as a real security checkpoint without slowing down the line
The Solution: Patronscan at the Door
