Restaurant reservation provider SpotOn has added a vaccination status feature to its SpotOn Reserve system in response to increasing mandates that customers be vaccinated against COVID-19 to dine at restaurants.

New York and San Francisco city leaders last week announced regulations requiring proof of vaccination for indoor activities, including dining at restaurants. The SpotOn Reserve system gives restaurants the ability to add vaccination status to customers' reservations, according to a press release.

Operators can also choose to make the guest's confirmation of their party's vaccination a mandatory requirement for making a reservation.

"Our goal is to help restaurants continue to operate as safely and efficiently as possible as new guidelines are implemented," Doron Friedman, chief product officer at SpotOn, said in the release. "With this new SpotOn Reserve feature, restaurants can clearly communicate their vaccination requirements, ensuring guests are in compliance, eliminating additional steps of service, and assuring the safety of guests and staff."
