About
Built by people who already study the pour.
impayr is privacy-first middleware for bars and nightclubs. The founding pair spent years on alcohol-safety research, then pointed that work at the rail, the door, and the trail you can hand to counsel.

Research
Four years on alcohol safety, then the bar floor.
Together they published and presented on non-invasive intoxication detection, shipped SoberRide, and took that same refusal to over-claim into impayr. Watch the pour. Ack on the handheld. Keep a trail. Not a guest dossier, and not a promise of immunity.
