New rules to help pubs, cafes and restaurants reopen outdoors safely in England on 12 April have sparked anger from industry groups.
All customers will have to sign in on entry, not just one member of the group like before. It is also unclear whether payment at the bar will be permitted.
UK Hospitality said it would burden struggling pubs and staff and risk customers deciding not to go out.
The BBC has contacted the Cabinet Office for a comment.
Under the new guidance, every customer aged 16 and over will have to check in to NHS track and trace before entering a venue, or give their contact details.
