This emerges from a tour of the ANP along a number of catering companies in Rotterdam, The Hague, Arnhem and Roermond, among others. In two large catering establishments in the center of Rotterdam, all visitors had to show their corona admission ticket this morning, but an operator of a business a little further away said that he only scans the CoronaCheck app if the guests request it.
In another tent in the center of Rotterdam, an employee occasionally walked past the tables to check. “We’re too small to have someone at the door all the time,” the manager explained.
Protests
There is a lot of criticism of the measure from the catering industry. There is also a group that finds it unfair that people who do not want vaccination are disadvantaged. Today there were demonstrations against the admission ticket:

You don’t have to show a QR code on the terraces, if you have to go to the toilet, you officially have to. In The Hague, most catering visitors were on the terrace this afternoon because of the beautiful weather. A woman at a table in the sun did not have the idea that the CoronaCheck app was checked with the guests who went inside to the toilet.
A waiter on a terrace on the Plein said that the shop where he worked does indeed have no controls for toilet visitors, but there are for guests who sat inside. “Two tables inside are occupied and the people sitting at them showed their QR code without any problems,” said the catering employee. The operator of a coffee shop has said that she does check the app. She considers the checks ‘important’.

In Roermond, Limburg, many catering businesses did not seem to make too much work of checking corona tickets. In many restaurants on Munsterplein and Roerkade, visitors did not have to have their QR code scanned. In a theater hotel in the Limburg city, there was a check for visiting the brasserie, but not for the toilet visit.
In the center of Arnhem, many catering establishments outside on the terrace indicated that a corona ticket is required to enter. Indeed, a number of randomly selected restaurants and cafes asked for proof at the entrance. According to a cafe owner in the square where the market was held, it annoyed some people that they had to show a ticket, but overall the check went smoothly.
