Key considerations and products for reopening restaurants

Readying for reopening

Despite many restaurants having remained open on a limited basis for order pick-up throughout the quarantine, there are many risks and factors to consider when opening your doors to welcome customers back into your establishment.

There are a few key checkpoints each restaurant and bar should consider before opening their doors, along with state and local regulations, while adjusting to meet the unique needs and circumstances of your business’ community.

1. Are you ready to protect employees at higher risk for severe illness?

2. Are recommended health and safety communications in place throughout your establishment?

A. Hand washing recommendations

B. Face mask requirements

C. Sanitized surface indicators

D. Social distancing reminders

E. Customer seat spacing

3. Are all employees trained on health and safety protocols, despite patron requests?

4. Is ongoing employee health monitoring in place?

A. Signs and symptoms

B. Stay home sick policy

C. Plan for sick employees

D. Monitor employee absences

E. Have flexible leave policies

Despite reopening restaurant seating areas, be aware that many patons may prefer to continue to levage drive-throughs, delivery and curb-side pickup, or sit outdoors where possible.

Be cognizant of spacing throughout the restaurant - altered layouts may be necessary to ensure enough distance between tables and stools, as well as single direction traffic through aisles. Limit party sizes to avoid excessive crowding.

Be sure to keep both customer and employee congestion in mind in common areas such as restrooms, break rooms and waiting areas, as well as staggered shifts for employees, if possible.
