Verify and reward bartender skills with digital badges.
Bar Badge is a B2B2C micro-credentialing platform that enables bars and restaurants to issue verified digital badges to their bartenders upon completion of curated free online courses. Bars subscribe monthly, access a library of recommended courses (from Coursera, YouTube, etc.), and use our simple tool to design and award badges. Bartenders showcase badges on LinkedIn or resumes, boosting their careers. The platform is fully automated: course verification via completion links, badge generation with Canva templates, and credential storage on a simple website. No content creation needed; we only curate and provide the infrastructure. Perfect for side hustle with minimal weekly effort.
