COVID-19 Safety Procedures
ENSURING PHYSICAL DISTANCING
-
Measures to ensure physical distancing are adhered to where customers or employees are in line for coffee service. Clients are asked to place tape or other markings at 6-foot intervals in any area where staff members or guests may form a line or stand. We will establish directional passageways for foot traffic, if possible, to eliminate employees and /or guests from passing by one another.
-
Technology solutions where possible have been implemented to reduce person-to-person interaction; online menu, mobile ordering, contactless payment options are available.
-
Plexiglass sneeze guard barriers are installed on each coffee bar, where maintaining a physical distance of six feet is difficult.

All drinks are served with lids on the beverage.

Operations have been redesigned, where possible, to achieve physical distancing between employees and customers. Customers will pick up coffee orders at the very end of the bar to avoid direct contact with the barista.
