30 Spur Steak Ranches across South Africa have now been equipped with Sensormatic technology to ensure children are kept within a safe zone.<\/p>\n
The project, which was done in partnership with Fidelity ADT, started in May at the Spur outlet in Sunninghill.<\/p>\n
Sensormatic pedestals were placed at the entrance and exit of the store, and magnetic pinless tags were attached to children\u2019s clothes as they entered the play area.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe proof of concept was so successful and well-received by patrons that the initiative has been rolled out to 29 other Spur franchises around the country,\u201d said Ilze Van Eck, Retail Lead Fidelity ADT.<\/p>\n
On entry into the play area at a Spur restaurant, each child\u2019s clothing is tagged by a childminder for that area.<\/p>\n
The tags attach securely without damaging the child\u2019s clothing and staff are trained on where to attach the tag so it does not hurt the child in the play area.<\/p>\n
The tag can only be removed at the pay desk once the family leaves with the child.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf a child attempts to leave the restaurant without his or her parents an alarm activates,\u201d van Eck said.<\/p>\n
She says this technology will go a long way to ensure that restaurants and other venues where children\u2019s activities are on offer remain secure.<\/p>\n
