About Us

Why Minor Decliner?

MinorDecliner™ is simple to use and easy to train. The ID Scanner allows for fast scanning of State-issued IDs and Drivers Licenses for reliable data entry.

We read the 2D PDF417 Barcode in all 50 states and give fast, audible, and visible "Sale or No Sale" results.

We detect expired IDs and underage consumers with the MinorDecliner™ system. This is the ideal product to increase your employees' efficiency, help check IDs properly, and reduce the "human error" factor.

We support multiple scanners on the same tablet, ensuring various check-out stations can share one tablet and therefore reduce implementation costs at the store level.

Our Why — from founder Ron Tobb

How did we get into the business? What is our authority in the matter of underage product/service consumption?

Several years ago, my daughter was an underage investigator for a local police department. Her job was to attempt to purchase cigarettes or alcohol with her authentic under 18 ID.

She was shocked to find that 20-30% of the time people sold to her because they could not do the math and figure out how old she was.

After watching this for several months, we decided to help solve this problem.

Being an engineer, I know that the best way to prevent an error is to stop it at the source. That's why we created Minor Decliner. After doing more research, we discovered this is a chronic problem in the industry. This motivated us even more to help solve these issues permanently.

Our vision is simple: to eliminate sales and access of age-restricted products to minors to protect businesses. We wake up every day with the drive to innovate and provide the best tools and service available to help retailers eliminate the sales of age-restricted items to minors.
