Italy, as you know, has been the first western country to be impacted by COVID-19.

After the first lockdown, with the re-opening, the italian government (and most EU country) introduced restrictions for all restaurants and pubs, with mandatory contact-tracing of all their guests, in order do prevent another wave of the pandemic.

We soon noticed that the vast majority of them were still relying on pen and paper as the main solution for their contact tracing.

So we decided to challenge ourselves with a mini-hackaton. After 3 days of working heads down we built the MVP of Eatalo.

We then went out door to door to all the local restaurants in our area to "promote" the service. The results were encouraging, with a high adoption rate and great early feedbacks, which allowed us to iterate and finally make the product better. It took us 2 weeks of hard work to build the final app now we are ready to launch it worldwide!
