Funk Proof certification
An annual in-person audit for natural wine venues, the physical wax seal, staff training and a listed verification date. Planned at C$300–600 a year.
An annual in-person audit
A dated visit: we read the list, ask who made a bottle, and check what's poured by the glass against the same proof rules every venue is held to.
The physical wax seal
For the door or the bar, carrying the audit year. It comes off if the venue fails a re-check or misses the next audit.
Staff training
A session built from the Funk University tracks: what makes a wine natural, reading and serving the list.
A listed verification date
Your page shows the date of the last audit, so guests can see how fresh the check is.
Price: C$300–600 a year (planned). The checks are the ones on the badge page; training comes from Funk University.
The rules, plainly
- The fee buys the audit, the seal and the training. It never buys a better Funk Score, a higher ranking or better placement anywhere on isitfunky.
- A venue that doesn't pass isn't certified. The fee covers the visit either way; we tell you what didn't pass and you can ask for a re-audit later.
- The proof rules stay the same for everyone: certified, uncertified, paying or not. Proof from menus, lists and visits counts exactly as it does today.
How the score works: the Funk Score.
