Home · How we checkHow we check
Every deal on Trufa passed a check.
This page is linked from every “Confirmed” line on the site. Here’s exactly what that word means.
01 · Before it publishes
Every deal passes a check before it goes live, one of two ways. An editor checks it: we call the bar, we visit, we read the chalkboard. Or our reader checks it against the bar’s own website: every price and every hour must appear on the venue’s own page, word for word, and two independent reads of that page must agree, or the deal waits for an editor instead. Tips from readers always wait for an editor; anything we can’t verify shows as “Not yet verified” or doesn’t show at all.
02 · Who checked it, always named
Three kinds of check, always labeled and never blended: Trufa staff means an editor checked it directly. People at the bar means someone standing in the room tapped “Confirm this deal.” The bar’s own page means our reader matched every price against the venue’s own website and left a receipt on the deal. One crowd tap never overrides a staff check, and a page read never claims to be a phone call.
03 · Going stale
Every deal shows when it was last confirmed. Past 30 days it’s marked stale and drops in every list until someone re-checks it. When reports pile up against a price, we say so on the page while we look.
04 · Nobody pays
No venue can buy a listing, a ranking, or a re-check. Rankings come from saves and confirmations. If that ever changes, this page will say so first.
