Venue Safety Certification
Cray Protected is a venue safety certification program for bars, restaurants, and event venues. Certified venues display the Cray Protected badge and equip their space with visible drink-safety tools — NightCapIt anti-spiking drink covers, QR-coded coasters, and awareness posters — signaling to every patron that the venue takes dating and personal safety seriously.
The problem is real and measurable: more than 11 million drinks are spiked in the U.S. every year, and roughly 1 in 13 people report experiencing drink tampering at a bar or event. Most venues respond after an incident. Visible prevention — covers on drinks, safety messaging in bathrooms, a badge in the window — changes patron behavior and deters bad actors before anything happens.
For operators, it's also good business. Patrons — especially women and students — actively choose venues that feel safe, and certified venues are listed on the growing Cray Protected map, where safety-minded customers look first. One kit, one badge, one visible commitment: safety your patrons can see.

The Business Case
"A venue that makes safety visible doesn't just do the right thing — it builds the kind of reputation that fills tables on a Friday night."
— Justin Smith, Founder & CEO, Cray
Venue FAQ
It means your venue has publicly committed to visible drink-safety measures: the Cray Protected badge on display, anti-spiking drink covers available, safety messaging posted, and a listing on the Cray Protected venue map.
No — kits are one-time purchases with free shipping. Consumables like coasters and drink covers can be restocked one-time or on optional monthly auto-ship.
No. The kit works physically on its own — the QR coasters simply give patrons a free, optional path into Cray's safety tools.
Every kit includes a listing on the growing map of Cray Protected venues, so safety-minded patrons can find you.
Restaurant for table service, Bar & Nightclub for high-volume pours, Event Venue for large spaces — the difference is consumable quantities.
