BCS is not your standard ID scanning software. When a patron’s ID is scanned, four pieces of anonymous information are sent to our database (time of scan, age, gender and zip code). We analyze this information and let you access it on our website. You can see patron flow over the night, week or month; compare different time periods; view gender splits on different nights; the most popular age ranges and average age; most popular zip codes, etc.
Faster scanning and the ability to read mag stipe IDs requires the use of a hardware attachment which can be rented or bought online at www.barandclubstats.com

Works well

You can try it for free. But after a few uses it costs $44.00 a month. It’s ok for business but kinda pricey for an individual. Otherwise I can see how it would be useful for busy bar. Was accurate when we tested it on drivers license every time we did it.
Do not buy

10 dollars down the drain. Do not buy. After paying 10 dollars, you are then forced to rent software. Real bad
The next big thing for bars everywhere!

I'm a doorman at two busy bars in Los Angeles. I searched for tons of programs to better helps us keep underage patrons out, build up a list of 86'd customers, and keep track of statistics - and this is the best one I have found. It's very simple and easy to operate (if you know how to use an iPod you can use the scanner), and customers are always impressed when they see the technology we are using. It also intimidates the younger crowd with fake ID's out of showing up. The app + device does it all. It detects fakes, it swipes ID's with barcodes and has a built in laser scanner for when the magnetic strip is worn out. I can program someone who is VIP. If a customer is kicked out of the bar and we don't want them in again, I can program them as 86'd and sync that information across multiple devices at all our bars. When that person comes back and gives the doorman their ID, it pops up as BANNED and gives a short reason why so the door man knows whether to calls the cops or just politely turn him/her away. I can also sync certain data to a secure and private database online that only the owner can see, so that he can keep track of age and gender statistics. This is a must have for any bar, whether you are an upscale mixology bar or a shady dive bar. The developers are really good at staying up to date with the app and making sure they always add new features. They've even heard me out a few times when I've suggested improvements. Bottom line - it's not worth it to be busted by ABC police and have your bar shut down for two weeks or your bartender arrested for serving an underage patron just to save a few dollars on a good scanner.
A MUST HAVE product if you are in a bar/club biz

Fast, accurate app with a lot of potential for Resturants/Taverns. I tested this app on the first day of college night with 100% accuracy. It also impressed the local police!! Would like to see a affordable yearly option and this app is a no brainier for bar owners and even local college town police.

BCS is an amazing program that allows my staff to scan every id and verify that the patron is of age to consume alcohol. It also allows us to catch some fake id's as well. This app also allows us to ban someone and make sure that if their id is ever scanned again, our staff will know that this person is not permitted back in! I purchased 10 iPods for my staff to checkout during their shift and use. All 10 are synced via the apps networking option and now every customer can be scanned and verified by every employee. Simply put, this is a great addition to our carding policies!
