Post?coronavirus start?up guidance: Bars, pubs and restaurants
Post-coronavirus start-up guidance: Collecting customer data
The Government have now extended guidance on retaining customer/visitor information aimed to assist with the Test and Trace strategy to restrict the spread of Covid-19 virus. We already know this system is crucial in keeping us safe as several pubs that opened over the weekend have already reported customers testing positive for coronavirus. It does however provide its own challenges as it presents new responsibilities on the safe storage of customer data.
The premises that the guidance relates to specifically is below, however the guidance should be utilised as best practice for all other business in the UK for appropriate information that they should be recording:
- Hospitality, including pubs, bars, restaurants and cafés.
- Tourism and leisure, including hotels, museums, cinemas, zoos and theme parks and close contact services, including hairdressers, barbershops and tailors.
- Facilities provided by local authorities, including town halls and civic center’s for events, community centers, libraries and children’s centers.
- Places of worship, including use for events and other community activities.
