Attendee Validation (Head Count)

February 20, 2026
1 min read

Veryfi Receipts OCR API automatically extracts the guest count directly from the receipt itself — no manual input required. When a restaurant prints the number of covers or guests on the check (as shown above with “Guest Count: 18”), Veryfi captures this as a structured guest_count field in the API response.

This data feeds directly into Veryfi’s Attendee Validation feature, which calculates the per-head spend and benchmarks it against typical meal ranges. In the example above, a $690.89 bill for 18 guests works out to $38.38 per person — falling within the $30–$50/head benchmark and flagged as Within Benchmark.

For T&E auditors and finance teams, this means the headcount on the expense claim can be automatically cross-checked against what’s printed on the receipt — eliminating one of the most common forms of meal expense abuse without any manual review.
