Napa Technology Partners with CLEAR to Provide Secure, Friction-Free Age Verification on Self-Service Alcohol Dispensers

Napa Technology, the makers of WineStation and TapStation Intelligent Dispensing Systems, has partnered with CLEAR, the secure identity company, to provide a friction-free self-checkout experience for age-gated purchases on their intelligent wine, beer and spirit dispensers. Napa Technology has embedded Powered by CLEAR age verification technology to enable consumers to seamlessly and securely affirm their age with CLEAR instead of by manually presenting an ID to a staff member. The integration will eliminate the potential for fraud and human error associated with traditional forms of identity verification and increase operational efficiencies for Napa Technology’s hospitality customers.

After scanning a QR code on Napa Technology’s dispensing system, new users will be prompted to verify their age with CLEAR using their government-issued ID and a selfie. Returning CLEAR users will simply be prompted to snap a selfie to verify their identity.

"Napa Technology is excited to partner with CLEAR to offer our clients a secure and efficient method for verifying their customer's age," said Napa Technology CEO, Nick Moezidis. "Our commitment to innovation in the hospitality industry is reflected in our partnership with CLEAR, and we believe this integration will enhance the overall experience for both our customers and their patrons."

“With CLEAR's age verification product, Napa Technology's hospitality customers can eliminate the burden of manual ID checks on their staff, transform the consumer experience, and have peace of mind knowing that CLEAR is providing a reliable and secure age verification solution,” said EVP of Powered by CLEAR, Jon Feldman. “This partnership is a win-win for Napa Technology's hospitality customers and their end users – it's totally self-serve, seamless and convenient."

Powered by CLEAR enables frictionless confirmation of your identity and credentials to make everyday experiences safer and easier – transforming the way people live, work, and travel. Whether CLEAR’s 16 million members are networking online, visiting a doctor, checking into a hotel, renting a car, or cheering on their favorite sports team, they can frictionlessly affirm their identity with CLEAR — for free — wherever life takes them.
