The Federation has been working with BDO, Hospitality Ulster, UKHospitality and others to produce a set of standard industry guidelines for use by the hospitality sector.
Following the Northern Ireland Executive's publication of its own guidelines on 23rd June, we can now release these to help industry prepare for re-opening.
Track & Trace - there is new guidance and also a poster to inform hospitality businesses about track & trace measures for the sector. https://www.nibusinessinfo.co.uk/sites/default/files/Guidance_for_the_NI_hospitality_industry_on_maintaining_records_of_staff_customers_and_visitors.pdf
Track & Trace Poster available to download NI_hospitality_industry_on_maintaining_records_of_staff_customers_and_visitors.pdf
Face Coverings - 8th August 2020 with information on the wearing of masks in hotels after 10th August 2020. This information has been updated with a new FAQ section on 10th August.
