# Venue Authority

> Venue Authority is a facility verification and monitoring API for payment facilitators, marketplaces, KYB providers, and restaurant platforms. It matches a food-service business name and street address to supported regulator records and returns a fail-closed decision with source evidence.

Venue Authority is operated by Zupa Print. The product reports what a cited regulator source published at a stated time. It does not establish the legal operator, guarantee that a venue is physically open, replace a regulator, or provide legal advice.
