How We Can Help UK Hospitality Venues Re-open Safely

11 March 2021

With the UK on track to lift lockdown restrictions from this month, it’s still essential to maintain processes and procedures that will keep both staff and customers safe as venues reopen, and people begin to venture out. Using a contactless system is the obvious way to go forward as it will reduce the contact required between staff and consumers and reduce the common touchpoint areas that may facilitate the spreading of the virus. The hospitality sector has suffered heavily over the past year with the restrictions placed on them. Hence, it’s essential to put into place systems that will give consumers a higher level of assurance to encourage them to come back as soon as possible. With biometric solutions, venues can also increase their organisational efficiency.
