230 Fifth Launches Social Distancing App For Bar, Restaurant Customers

New York City nightlife hotspot 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar, has created a new on premises chat app to help customers practice social distancing. The “ApproachNow” platform is an in-house program exclusively used for guests on the grounds of the bafr, encouraging a virtual approach to first interactions.  The app will allow guests to communicate through a public chat forum for everyone on site, or turn their dialogue into a more intimate one-on-one conversation.  The app will encourage meeting new friends and companions while maintaining a socially responsible distance throughout 230 Fifth’s 30,000 square foot facility.

Guests who want to participate with the platform will be given a code as they enter, which changes daily.  The app will be available to download via iOS. Upon creating a username and password guests will be able to quickly and easily build their profile and upload an images. The Android version of the app will be available in the near future.

The ApproachNow platform is available for bars and restaurants outside of 230 Fifth around the city and country for free. Restaurant owners are encouraged to reach out to 230 Fifth, if interested.

230 Fifth Rooftop Bar is located at 230 Fifth Avenue at 27th street in New York City’s flatiron district. For more information contact press@230-fifth.com.
