The pandemic we have planned for over the last 14 years is upon us. Many of you have closed your lobbies. What services can you conduct now at the drive-up that you could not last month? Share with our subscribers some of the changes you have made. Everyone benefits from sharing. What about employees, who’s working, who’s not? Are employees using sick days or are you compensating them while they stay home?
Last week, my husband and I went to 2 restaurants. The first was business as usual. You noticed nothing different except fewer people were there. The second was really prepared, every other table was marked with an X and the word no with masking tape. Enforcing the six foot rule. All the condiments were removed from the tables. If you needed salt, they brought it upon request and then they knew what needed to be wiped down on the table before seating the next person. But the last item was what really impressed me, they had paper menus. A photocopy of their regular menu. After you used it, they threw it away.
So obviously, the second restaurant was taking the spread of virus seriously and creatively implemented a plan. I suspect there are many of you that have come up with that one thing that will impress us all. Please share.
