Benjamin Sibert Founded Bar and Club Stats to Turn Apple Devices into ID Scanners
Underage drinking is a serious epidemic and many bars have run into trouble due to sophisticated fake identification card schemes. The best way to handle fake IDs is to use an ID scanner, which can read digital signatures attached to specific driver’s licenses and ID cards to determine their legitimacy. However, investing in an expensive and unwieldy ID scanner that is not only very expensive but also requires upkeep from time to time is not something many bar and club owners are enthusiastic about. Cool person in technology Benjamin Sibert founded his company Bar and Club Stats to come up with a solution this problem. Sibert and his team have created a functioning ID scanner for bars and clubs using iPhones, iPods, and iPads. Sibert hopes that with such a device will appeal to club and restaurant owners who want a cleaner, more streamlined solution to checking identification at the door.
