Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for many businesses in the hospitality sector, particularly restaurants and pubs. During these difficult times with the coronavirus, it’s important that hospitality businesses still continue to ensure the safest possible experience for customers and staff when dining or working.
The government had recently announced that England will be moving onto ‘Plan B’ in response to the new omicron variant. As part of this plan, people are now required by law to wear face masks in some public indoor settings, such as takeaways and shops (where there is no space for consuming drinks or food on the premises).
In order to prepare your restaurant for this busy time of the year, there need to be precautions in place to help control the spread of viruses and reduce direct contact between staff and customers. At Portable Partitions Company, we provide a wide range of restaurant room dividers and countertop screens that can help your premises maintain social distancing, even in smaller spaces.
How Portable Partitions Can Help
While many restaurants may already have countertop screens in place to minimise contact between customers and staff, some restaurants could benefit from utilising room dividers and partitions to create booths and separate tables more effectively.
Here are some of the ways that room dividers and countertop screens can make your establishment safer for staff and customers:
- Implementing a one-way system to direct the flow of people and reduce contact between customers. By having customers move only one direction through your establishment, you can reduce congestion and minimise direct contact.
- Creating separate booths and seating areas. By spacing customers out, you can maintain social distancing. Even in smaller spaces where physical spacing isn’t possible, room dividers can act as a barrier between tables.
- Utilising countertop screens to protect staff and customers at the place of commerce. By having a physical barrier between your staff and customers, you can help reduce the spread of germs and viruses that are commonly spread through coughing and sneezing.
Below are some of our recommended room dividers and countertop screens to help prepare your establishment for the busy Christmas period.
