HappyKava Passport: Turn Exploration Into Regulars.
The Passport is a nationwide discovery program built inside HappyKava. You get new, high-intent guests walking in with a clear reason to try your bar, redeemed digitally through the same Deal Pass system that powers Always Happy Hour, Vibe Updates, and Quick Check-In.
Already on HappyKava? Great - your profile, specials, and events already surface across Home, Explore, and your bar page.

A passport program that brings the right people to your door
The HappyKava Passport is designed for one thing: turning curiosity into an actual visit. Guests explore participating bars in HappyKava, visit your location, and redeem digitally through Kavatender Mode.
- High-intent guests who love kava culture
- Digital redemptions, no paper stamp chaos
- Staff-friendly validation flow
Kava is habit-driven. Passport builds habits.
Passport guests are motivated to explore the scene and can convert into regulars when the vibe matches.
- Purposefully exploring kava bars (not discount hunting)
- Likely to bring friends
- Mission-driven, not coupon-driven
No screenshots. No arguments. No manual tracking.
Passport runs on the same infrastructure as Always Happy Hour and Deal Passes, keeping redemptions clean and fraud-resistant.
- Digital, trackable redemptions
- Clear redeemed and not-redeemed states
- Unified system for all programs
Training takes minutes. The line keeps moving.
Guests show their Passport redemption, staff validates in seconds, and the stop is recorded automatically.
