6. All staff including servers, bartenders, managers anyone on the clock are also to wear masks, or a bandanna. You can get creative as long as it is tasteful and as long as mouths and noises are covered while working. When bringing food out gloves are to be worn and changed.

· All silverware is to be safely wrapped and placed on tables once the customers arrive.

· Napkins for the amount of people at the table should be provided. If they want more give more, but don’t leave bundles on a table.

· In booth areas. Customers should not be seated back to back. There should be an empty booth between booths that have customers.

· Buffets are to be constantly sanitized and charted.

· Buffets are to be constantly temped and charted.

13. Delivery Services, like DoorDash, GrubHub are not to enter the building. They are to use Curbside service. You need to notify each driver of this policy.

14. Curbside areas need to be identified now and clearly and permanently marked. The temporary areas need to go away and we move to a permanent program that works for each location.

15. Food and other Venders entering store for deliveries. Post on door where the delivery drivers enter. That they can not enter the building without Gloves and masks. You need to notify your vendors that we will be enforcing this policy so they can provide their employees with the proper product. You can provide them with it the first few times.

ALL DELIVERY DRIVERS ENTERING THIS BUILDING ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR GLOVES AND MASK BEFORE MAKING DELIVERY OR ENTERING.

16. Floor markings on Social Distancing should be visible for customers to see.

Be Aggressive. If it’s not listed doesn’t mean it should not be done. If it means protecting each other and those who enter our locations, then do it.

Managers you need to use this each day as a check list and check each item off as you go through your day each and every day. Just posting it will not enforce it. You must practice this every day all day and the staff needs to adhere, no exceptions no reason as to why not.


To Our customers. We share this with you so you know we are serious about protecting our staff and you. We have worked Directly with the CDC and Local Health Department Officials to ensure our locations are safe for all.
