How to Safely Support Re-openings
Thanks for being patient—your favorite University District restaurants and retailers are opening back up! As you show your support, please be respectful of new state-wide regulations and any additional safety precautions businesses may ask their customers to follow. Below are state mandates and recommendations businesses have been given regarding customers.
MANDATORY
Ensure a minimum of six feet between parties waiting and when dining - if not possible, utilize barriers or other protective devices
Post a list of COVID-19 symptoms in a conspicuous place
Ask customers and guests not to enter if symptomatic
Provide access to hand washing methods while in the food service establishment, and if possible, place approved hand washing/sanitizing products in high-contact areas
Food service establishments offering dine-in service must take affirmative steps with customers to achieve safe social distancing guidelines
RECOMMENDED BEST PRACTICES
Face coverings are recommended at all times, except when eating
Health questions for symptoms posted at the entrance
If possible, identify a dedicated entrance door and exit door. When possible, enable dining room ventilation (e.g. open doors and windows)
When possible, encourage customers to make dine-in reservations or use drive through, pick-up, call-in, curbside or delivery options
Encourage at-risk populations to utilize alternative options such as using the drive through, pick-up, call-in, curbside, or delivery options
