All work surfaces and touch points will be sanitised at the start of the day prior to any activities taking place. All surfaces and touch points will also be cleaned and sanitised as a last task at the end of the working day.
Social Distancing:
Floor markings are positioned inside the restaurants to facilitate compliance with current physical distancing advice, particularly in the most crowded areas, such as serving counters and tills.
Tables are set out to provide the current recommended gap between seated customers /groups inside the premises.
Where customers are required to queue to access the site, the queuing area is to be marked and distance markers placed on the floor at 2 meter intervals.
