How can I use Yelp Reservations for contact tracing requirements?

As a result of COVID-19, some local health authorities are requiring businesses to collect customer contact information to satisfy contact tracing requirements. Contact tracing is a process of identifying people who may have come into contact with an infected person. If you are required to collect this information, you can use the notes field to add in names and contact information of all customers in each party, which will be securely stored in our database. You should verbally ask each customer’s consent before taking down their information.

To request a list of the data in .csv file format, contact us at (877) 571-YELP or restaurantsupport@yelp.com.
