Beer isn't the only thing on tap from this weekend !!
Independence Day is celebrated by Americans on the 4th July, and in future we may come to remember it for a very different reason, Going Out Out Day - G.O.O.D !! Yes that's right, the day the UK came out from under the Covid cloud and the restaurants and pubs opened up again!
The government has advised we need to take care and be mindful of the new social distancing rules and guidance. In this respect businesses, restaurants and pubs are advised to record the details of guests or visitors to these establishments and offices.
To help with this challenge TAAP, a UK software company has created the TAAP Visitor Book app. Its free for anyone to use, no in app purchases, and it even runs as a web app. They use the same app for every every business, restaurant or pub. You just scan a QR code, and your details are recorded in seconds, no pens, paper, kiosks, you can walk in and out of pubs scanning the QR code at the bar, table, or reception.
The solution requires each business, restaurant or pub to subscribe to the service. This is a monthly subscription and provides each organisation with a digital visitor book. Each subscribing organisation can request different information, and uniquely provide if required the terms and conditions for entry. This could be for a business Health and Safety Guidance, Fire and Evacuation Guidance, and even Covid Social Distancing Guidelines.
Each subscriber can select different bits of information they require for access, ie Name, Phone, Email, etc... even a photo if required. The solution is GDPR compliant, and allows each subscriber to define the data privacy terms and basis for which the data is being collected.
In the hospitality sector, for restaurants and pubs, every guest could self register without any additional burden to the staff, and their details are safely and securely recorded in a cloud digital portal. Each person visiting can provide the data the subscriber needs to support the business and operational requirements outlined by the government.
The great thing about the app is that once you have filled in your information the app retains your Name and other contact details so that next time you sign in its all pre-populated for you. The app can be used for any subscribing organisation meaning its one app to sign in anywhere in the world!

Paul George is the Product Manager for the TAAP Visitor Book product. Paul commented "This product has really excited our partner network, it is so easy to sell and setup, customers love it, the simplicity and the rich features it offers, and we already have a pack features list we have been asked to include. I'm helping our partners take the proposition to market, customers are actively planning the return to work. We have specialist partners helping the hospitality sector get back to work, and this service means that customers can sign in and there is almost zero effort or burden. It's also great for the visitor, fast, efficient and hygienic!"
Steve Higgon, TAAP's CEO commented "TAAP Visitor Book at one level is a no touch GDPR compliant digital visitor book service. However in the "new normal" in which we find ourselves it is a Board/Business Owner level discussion. How an organisation acts and how it is demonstrating that it is acting as a responsible employer, or service provider to its customers, is something that needs to be considered and well executed. TAAP Visitor Book allows organisations to deliver a new class of visitor reception service, whilst ensuring corporate governance is addressed providing clear and concise information to each visitor regarding the operational policies in place and active for each and every site or location.
