Getting your QR FAQ
OUR STORE REGULATIONS
Although the government of Ontario no longer mandates the checking of individual vaccine passport, private businesses still have a choice to enforce this policy in their store. At Kuidaore, we will still continue to check for government ID and valid vaccine passports that work with the Ontario Verify App, prior to seating, so we can ensure that each patron and staff will be in a safe dining environment.
We do not accept CDC Cards as there have been an increasing amount of counterfeits as of late. If you have one, please reauthenticate your CDC card with Ontario health and it should work! We have successfully tried this method with many customers. We will only follow the Ontario QR standards outlined to businesses in January of 2022. For visitors outside of Canada, you can obtain a Covid ID number that will help you register for your valid QR code. For further instructions on how to obtain your QR code as a traveler outside of Canada, please read more below.
We still offer take out options for those who have not successfully obtain their valid QR codes and cannot physically dine in store with us. Please be patient and understanding with our staff while we help you. Harassment and bullying will not be tolerated towards any staff.
And as always, please make sure your entire party is present so we can check every member's QR code prior to seating! If you have symptoms of covid and or have been in contact with a positive case please postpone your visit to our restaurant. You can order take out or delivery from our Ubereats or SkiptheDish.
" If you are vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine, you will be able to download a vaccine certificate with QR code. Your vaccine certificate is an electronic record of your COVID-19 vaccination, including information about each dose, which can serve as a personal health record and/or proof of vaccination.
Effective March 1, 2022 Ontario no longer requires businesses and organizations to check for proof of vaccination. However, individual businesses and organizations may choose to require proof of vaccination upon entry.
Individuals also may be required to show proof of vaccination when travelling within and outside of Canada. Check applicable requirements at destination. " -- Stated on their website and here.

Why do we still enforce this?
We will eventually relax our measures once we feel safe to do so. But please understand that our staff and dine in patrons have immunocompromised members, children who do not qualify for vaccination yet, and elders at high risk living with them. We will continue to follow health Canada protocols with regular cleaning and checking of valid vaccination at the door to prevent any cases from happening in our establishment as well as protecting our community. We take each and everyone's health seriously here at Kuidaore and we hope you can understand and respect our decision in doing so.

Minors Age 5+
Do minors need to provide identification as they may not have identification to verify their identity?
If somebody is required to be fully vaccinated, they must prove both vaccination status and identity. The identification requirements are flexible, and identification is required to confirm only name of the person and date of birth – government identification can be used for this purpose; however, it is not the only type of ID accepted. Proof of identity can be established using documentation issued by an institution or public body, provided it includes the name of the holder and date of birth. Identification that young people may have access to that include name and date of birth could include birth certificate, or a passport, among other forms of ID.
Get your QR Code if you have Health Card
Beginning January 4th, 2022, only an enhanced vaccine certificate with QR code will be the best way to authenticate your vaccination record. Vaccine receipts without a QR code will no longer be accepted as valid proof of vaccination. We will be using the Verify Ontario App for every patron. This includes everyone over the age of 5 years old. More info here.

What is an enhanced vaccine certificate?
The enhanced vaccine certificate is an easier and more convenient way to provide your proof of vaccination.
Each enhanced vaccine certificate contains a SMARTⓇ Health Card QR code that businesses can easily scan at the door.
The Verify Ontario app is used to scan the QR code will only tell businesses if a person can enter their venue or not.
