Ahead of outdoor hospitality returning on Monday 12 April, a brand-new brainteaser is challenging the nation to work out the 30 well-known businesses and brands in the emoji quiz. Most people have only been able to get five - you beat this?

It comes as hospitality tech platform Airship.co.uk reboots its track and trace solution, Trck.to, following confirmation last Friday (26 March) that all restaurants, bars, pubs, cafes and other close-contact businesses in England will be required to keep a record of the customers that visit their premises. The policy will be in place until at least September, with businesses instructed to refuse entry for customers who do not agree to check-in.

The guidance will be announced during the next government briefing on Monday 5th April. It's also been confirmed that all guests will be required to check-in, a change from last year where just the lead booker needed to provide their details, and track and trace will be required for outdoor as well as indoor hospitality, including beer gardens and pavements.

Dan Brookman, CEO of Airship.co.uk, said: “I'm truly disappointed that track and trace will be required for re-opening the sector. The contact data previously gathered was not used and the effort of operators and inconvenience to customers went to waste. The only benefit for businesses is that they will be able to include an option for customers to opt-in to receive communications which will help to grow databases that have been decimated over the last 12 months.”

Since July last year, trck.to has checked in more than 23m people and is used at over 11,000 venues across the UK, including Wetherspoons, Costa Coffee, Pret, Greggs and Cafe Nero. The Airship team has recently won Dev Team of the Year, Project of the Year and Innovation of the Year awards at the UK Dev Awards in recognition of the speedy development and rollout of trck.to in summer 2020.
