Fast Casual Restaurant Protects Customers and
Communities with Industry Leading Technology Solution
Potatopia’s Broward County, Florida restaurant is using
Intellicheck's (NYSE MKT:IDN) Age ID™ to prevent the sale of
alcoholic beverages to underage customers. The fast casual
restaurant’s employees are using the state-of-the-art technology
solution to scan driver licenses and other forms of identification
to detect altered and fake IDs.
Potatopia is quickly becoming an established part of the fast
casual restaurant scene with its unique take on daily meal options
that feature a variety of potato styles that serve as a base for a
wide selection of fresh toppings along with drink selections that
include beer and wine. The rapidly growing restaurant chain has
plans for continued expansion across the country. The company is
also planning to open 45 restaurants in Canada in addition to its
future locations in the Middle East and China.
Potatopia franchise owner Bill Bulmer says his Tower Shops
location in Davie, Florida is surrounded by five universities in
addition to numerous residential communities. For Bulmer, Age ID
will make an important difference in many ways. He explained that
it is not just about making sure his business is in compliance with
laws that prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors. He
focuses on personal and corporate responsibility as well. “I feel a
personal responsibility to the customers and communities we serve.
It’s about doing the right things in the right ways. We have such a
great response and wonderful customers from our college community
and our neighborhoods and we want them to know that we care about
them, their potential and their future. This is something our
company feels strongly about, too.” Bulmer worries that young
people don’t understand how easily bad choices can lead to terrible
outcomes. “I have a personal perspective on the risks of drunk
driving. When I was 16 years old, I was run over by a drunk driver
and my back was broken in three places.”
Intellicheck CEO Dr. William Roof said Age ID will help
Potatopia achieve its goals. “We are excited about our partnership
with Potatopia and believe we offer the best solution to helping
them meet their legal and social obligations. We look forward to
growing our partnership as Potatopia implements its plans for
nationwide advancement. We are also very pleased by the expanding
adoption of our industry leading technology solution in the
hospitality market. We understand the difficult challenges facing
the restaurant industry in efforts to keep alcoholic beverages out
of the hands of minors. With the proliferation of sophisticated
fake IDs, employees have a hard time spotting them. This is a
safety challenge that raises compliance concerns for businesses
that must adhere to the laws and regulations governing the sale of
age-restricted products. We are confident Age ID will make a
significant difference for Potatopia as it has for so many
businesses across the country that face the problem of spotting
fake credentials used by minors to make illegal alcohol purchases,”
he said.
Age ID reads the data encoded on driver licenses and government
issued IDs, authenticating the ID and age information in real-time.
It can be deployed on mobile devices including smartphones and
tablets and can be integrated with point-of-sale solutions. Age ID
draws on a comprehensive proprietary database, updated on an
ongoing basis, to ensure ID authentication is timely and accurate.
It provides the most up-to-date solution to the problem of spotting
fake and altered IDs with its ability to read more than 250 unique
DMV barcode formats from every U.S. state and populated
territories, all Canadian provinces, and all Mexican States where
driver licenses include 2-D barcodes.
