SO YOU WANT TO OPEN YOUR CAFE DURING A PANDEMIC...
The COVID-19 pandemic is unlike anything we, as an industry, have ever had to face. Below is a set of guidelines that we have observed as ‘best practices’ in order to run your business safely while remaining prepared for the worst case scenarios. Before anything else, be prepared for criticism. It will come, both from the public and internally. Even with the strictest protocols in place, you will be putting your team at risk and potentially being part of the problem. Many thanks to Black Sheep Restaurants for creating an incredible resource and helping to provide the basis for this guideline. Further thanks goes to the many cafes who allowed us to speak with them about their practices during this difficult time.
