Barcard Server Permit Tracker
For clubs in Oregon, Louisiana and Wisconsin

The new bartender is on day 46. Is that legal?

Barcard keeps each server's permit, works out the state's deadline and the expiry, and refuses to sign anyone onto the floor who may not legally serve that night.

Opens in this browser with an invented club already in it. No account, no email address, nothing installed. Never holds a customer's name, an ID scan or a Social Security number.

The problem

Three states, three different clocks.

Oregon wants the permit before the first pour. Louisiana gives 45 days from the first day. Wisconsin runs on municipal licenses that end June 30. Turnover on the bar makes it easy to miss one.

Before serving

in Oregon - the OLCC Alcohol Service Permit, or a temporary one.

Servers and security

both need Louisiana's Responsible Vendor permit.

Mandatory

server training is the law in a list of states that includes Oregon and Louisiana.

TIPS →

Will not put an unpermitted server on the floor.

Not a reminder. Sign onto the floor refuses anyone past the state's deadline with no permit, on an expired permit, or on a temporary or provisional permit that has run out. Expiry dates are worked out, never typed. Nothing is deleted. There is no override.

How it works

What it will never do

It keeps the permits. Never the customers.

Barcard holds staff, permit dates and shifts, nothing more.

No customer names.It is about who pours, not who drinks.
No ID scans.Nothing is uploaded.
No Social Security numbers.Payroll already has them.
It is not legal advice.Your state agency or clerk is the reference.

Questions

The ones we actually get asked

Does security need a permit?

In Louisiana, yes - servers and security. In Oregon, servers, their managers and owners who pour.

How long do permits last?

Oregon five years, Louisiana four. Wisconsin licenses end June 30, after one or two years as your municipality sets.

We are in another state.

Barcard knows these three. Illinois clubs have Bouncer, for BASSET.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is the record and the gates.

What do I actually get when I pay?

The demo on this page is the whole program, running on invented records. Paying gets you a licence key — one line of text, on your screen as soon as the payment confirms: the checkout brings you back to our thank-you page, you type your business name and the key appears. Paste it into the program and from then on it keeps your own records. Until then, nothing you type into it is kept.

The key is checked inside the page, on your own machine. It never calls us, so there is still no account and nothing about your business goes anywhere. If you ever stop paying, your records stay exactly where they are, read-only, and Export still hands you every one of them.

An invented New Orleans club has a cocktail server on day fifty with no permit - and Barcard will not put her on the floor.
