Maximum Number of Patrons Allowed within this Premise is: __190___
Front Entrance
- A sign will be posted to ask customers to wait outside until they are met by a staff member. When weather permits the host/hostess will be stationed outside to greet customers. Customers will be encouraged to make reservations, within our reservation policy we take phone numbers to contact customers, and while waiting for a table customers will either be asked to wait in their car or to avoid congregation of other groups.
- A sign will be posted to let customers know that they must wear masks in the building. The host/hostess will let customers know that they must wear masks while walking to their table, getting up to use the washroom and leaving the restaurant. They must remain seated during their entire dining experience except for items stated above.
- The host/hostess will offer customers either digital or paper menus. Every table will receive an information sheet which will explain what we are doing about Covid-19 and explain our Birthday promotion and Double Happy Hour promotions. All paper menus will be a single use! Laminated menus will be disinfected and sanitized.
- A hand sanitizer dispenser will be situated at the front entrance.
- Line ups and reservations – No customers are to wait inside the building for anytime.
- Post a Notice at front doors saying that any customers showing signs of being sick will be asked not to enter the premise.
Dining Room
-
- 2 meters between backs of chairs. Customers at the bar may seat in groups of six but that group must be 2 meters from any other group. Place notices throughout the dining room reminding people of the 2-meter rule for social distancing.
-
- Change your floor plan to your new table lay out. On this plan you should put arrows to show flow. You should also list where you are putting your hand sanitizer dispensers with a small “s” (put on the bottom a legend to tell what the “s” stands for). This plan should be laminated and hung by the entrance.
-
- No parties larger than 6. Customers must be made aware that they cannot join other tables if the number of customers go over 6.
-
- Remove chairs and tables not used. All extra chairs to be removed and store off site if possible.
-
- Tables that are not used must have a sign on them that say “This table is closed due to Covid-19”
-
- Can use every booth. We feel that a five-foot partition is sufficient to provide a sufficient barrier between tables.
-
- Pathways to tables and washrooms must be 2 meters wide. This is extremely important for compliance.
-
- May want to consider arrows so that customers and staff know which path to take to ensure the 2-meter rule.
-
- Leave front doors open all the time so people do not have to open the door or have hostess only open the door. This will not be mandatory but might be easier for customers.
-
- Crayons given to children are single use and must be discarded after each use unless the child takes them with them.
-
- Customers will not be given a side plate unless it is asked for by the customer. However, Napkins will still be brought to the table without a side plate according to our policy.

- Avoid situations where staff have less than 1 m or 3 ft between them and a guest (particularly face-to-face connections). This means that servers must stay three feet from the table when taking any orders. Lines on the floor might help with this. A server should not be at a table longer than 10 minutes at one time. If this is necessary, please excuse yourself for at least 3 minutes then return and continue. Obviously when delivering food this is not possible but try to serve from the behind each customer!
