Your bar throws away its best data.

It's all on the merchant copy. Vetra reads it — close-outs in minutes, lost cards answered, chargebacks evidenced, regulars remembered.

One camera on the bar

One camera on the bar. Six things it does.

It all comes off the same piece of paper — the merchant copy you already throw away. On one slip: the tip, the auth code, the cardholder, the last four, the server and the time. Open any card and use it. These are the real components, not pictures of them.

The tip is read off the merchant copy and the arithmetic is checked before anything moves. A slip only clears by passing — never by guessing.

Subtotal plus tip must equal total, on every slip Anything unreadable is set aside with its photo A misread tip is somebody's pay, so it refuses to guess The closing shift ends when the last drink is poured

I AGREE TO PAY ABOVE TOTAL

Read the handwriting and type the tip. The total works itself out. If it does not match the paper, that is exactly the point at which a person is supposed to look.

One bartender told us they have twenty cards a week left behind. Because the slips are read, a last-four is a search rather than a shoebox.

Search by the last four the caller reads out Cardholder, time and server come back with it A destroy-by date, so nothing sits in a drawer for months No card number is ever stored. Ever.

Sample data — an invented guest at an invented bar. We never store a card number, and nothing real appears on this page.

Last four on the card

"We don't answer the phone when we are busy." Operators told us game nights can bring 86 to 150 calls in an evening, and one bartender counted 23 vendor-spam calls in a five-hour shift.

Answers on the first ring, however loud the room is Every answer traced to a field you set, never invented Large bookings captured as a lead, not lost to voicemail It reads the same slips the rest of the system does

Pick a caller. The line plays out as it would on the night.

A dispute arrives and you have days to find one slip from three weeks ago. The signed image, the auth code and the timestamps, assembled into one packet rather than reconstructed from memory.

Search by auth code, check number or card last four The signed slip image, kept from the moment of capture Timestamps for the sale and for the adjustment One packet, ready to send to your processor

Auth code from the dispute notice

The printed code is permanent infrastructure, not a sign-up form. Same sticker on the table; contents changed from the dashboard.

What actually happens to a slip

Paper on the mat to money in the right pocket.

Step 01

Scanned

A camera on the bar as you go, or a phone over the stack at close. The photo is kept.
Night one
Step 02

Read

Tip, total, check, auth, last four, time and server come off the paper as fields.
Night one
Step 03

Maths checked

Subtotal plus tip must equal total. Anything that does not reconcile is set aside for a person, with its photo.
Night one
Step 04

Adjusted

The tip posts back through your processor and the close-out already matches. Nobody keys a stack of paper at 2am.
Once your processor is connected

The gated function

One thing we can't do for you.

Sign up and you are in the dashboard in minutes — areas, staff, the station, all yours. But nothing moves until your processor is connected. That is the one piece that needs their yes rather than ours, which is why it is the first question we ask.

Who processes your cards?

Toast · pending processor access Elavon · pending processor access Datacap · pending processor access Heartland · pending processor access Clover · needs the station Something else · let's find out

What happens while you wait.

Scanning starts the night your station is paired. Slips are captured, read and matched to the right tab from night one, and every tip is queued — nothing is lost and nothing is guessed. Each one sits at pending processor until your processor grants access, and the adjustment lands only once they do. Your paper is already being turned into a clean, searchable record before that conversation finishes.

On Square? We can't help you.

We would rather say that here than on a call. Square closes the payment at the moment of sale, so there is no open auth to adjust and no paper gap — and the paper gap is the entire product. That is how Square is built, not a gap in our roadmap.

More than the close-out

The slip is one part. The system is what stays.

Every slip you scan is also a customer record — who was at that table, what they spent, last four on the card. The bar finally knows who its regulars are.

The phone agent.

Picks up when nobody can — hours, cover charge, lost-card lookups, reservation enquiries. Answers from your real data; transfers or says it doesn't know rather than guessing.

The scanner.

One camera on the bar reads the signed merchant copy: tip, last four, check number, server, time. The paper goes in the bin; the record does not. Live

The QR.

One per bar, placed on the table. Customers who scan it are linked to their card — so the bar knows a last-four-ending-in-3847 is Maya T., seven visits, last in three weeks ago. No app, no loyalty card, no staff pitch at the bar.

The datasets.

Who the regulars are. Who is drifting. What they order, what they tip, when they were last in. Your bar has been throwing that away every night — Vetra is the part that finally keeps it.

What it costs

Seven cents a slip.

Four cents once you pass ten thousand of them in a month. No monthly fee, no minimum, no setup charge — you pay for the paper you actually capture, and a quiet month costs you nothing.

Accepted slips in a month	You pay — founding rate, locked	List rate
The first 10,000	7¢	10¢
Beyond 10,000, same month	4¢	7¢
Retakes, blurs and duplicates	Not billed	Not billed
A quiet month	$0	$0

The founding rate is what the checkout charges. The list rate is the published rate it is locked from. Month to month, one line on the bill: the slips you kept. Runs on top of the POS you already have — nothing to switch.

Talk to us

We build to your bar.

We set the software up around the processor and the close-out routine you already run, rather than handing you something generic and asking you to adapt to it.
