The Busboys Promise

OVERVIEW & PURPOSE

To ensure everyone’s safety as we welcome you back into our dining rooms, we ask that we make the following promises to each other:

OUR PROMISE TO YOU

We promise to continue to be a leader in safe sanitation practices with a manager certified in food safety present on every shift. Also, all employees will be trained on appropriate cleaning, disinfecting, hand hygiene, and respiratory etiquette.

We will follow all protocols adopted by the State/District including:

• All employees must pass a health screening before their shift
• Hand sanitizing stations will be available to all guests and staff, including upon entry.
• We will not leave condiments, silverware, flatware, glassware or other traditional table top items on unoccupied tables.
• We will provide condiments only upon request and in single use non-reusable portions.
• We will no longer offer menus and we will instead use QR codes for menu viewing. If you need a printed menu, we will provide you with a laminated copy that has been disinfected.  
• Employees will wash or sanitize their hands and gloves upon entering the restaurant in between interactions with customers.
• We will clean and disinfect common areas and surfaces regularly and disinfect each dining area after each use.
