Easing lockdown: manage entries, admissions and adhere to government guidelines

As lockdown across Nigeria and globally began to ease earlier this month, event organisers and owners of establishments from hair salons, spas, restaurants and hotels are faced with the challenge of how to open safely.

Specifically, in Lagos, businesses are required to register on the Lagos State Safety portal as one of the requirements towards the issuance of a Provisional Safety Compliance Clearance. This registration is followed by an inspection of the business premises; after a successful inspection, the business will be issued a 3 month Provisional Safety Compliance Clearance. From time to time, the Lagos state government may inspect the establishment for spot checks. Meaning the Provisional Safety Compliance Clearance can be revoked at any time if the business fails to meet the government’s standards.

Beyond the government requirements, here is one simple but effective way in which tix.africa can help your businesses get back open and running safely.

Create an event with timed entries on tix.africa

1. Set up an event on tix.africa for patrons to pre-book their visit and time slot to the attraction with each time slot as a ticket type e.g 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm, 7 pm
2. Use the inventory field for each ticket type to limit the number of bookings that can be made for each time slot
3. Leave your event as a draft and reach out to the tix.africa support team to duplicate your event for you over a specified date range. Our response time is less than 1 hour
4. tix.africa is free to use if you’re not charging an entry fee. If payment is required, they can pay through our platform (powered by Paystack)
5. After your customers, booking their time slot they are issued a ticket with a barcode
6. Safely scan them in and out using our access control app
7. View capacity in real-time using the app to ensure compliance with government guidelines
