STATEMENT FROM JENN & JP
March 12, 2020
STATEMENT ON COVID-19
In light of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we would like to take this opportunity to communicate to you, our customer, about actions we are taking to promote the health and safety of our employees and visiting customers.
As food service professionals, we are treating this outbreak with the seriousness that medical and science experts are urging all of us to take. Over the past several days, we have been working hard to update our policies and procedures in an effort to go beyond our normal day-to-day actions. We are taking guidance from the CDC, The National Restaurant Association®, ServSave®, Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the State College Department of Health.
We are acting with vigilance in all aspects of our operations to increase the cleaning and sanitation procedures practiced on a daily basis at all of our locations. In addition to these actions, we would like to share with you a few additional steps we are taking for the wellness of our staff and our customers:
Twice-Sanitizing Tables. In addition to the normal cleaning and sanitizing after a table leaves, we will wipe down all surfaces a second time immediately before seating new customers at a table.
Wrapped Silverware. We will move to rolling silverware inside of a banded napkin to decrease staff contact with utensils prior to their arrival at your table. Silverware rolls will remain in closed drawers until customers are seated.
Communal Items. All communal items such as salt and pepper shakers will be sanitized and wiped down in-between customer use.
Seating and Social Distancing. Whenever possible, we will work to seat customers at suggested distances from other occupied tables.
Restrooms and Entrances. Restroom checks will be performed frequently to ensure adequate soap and supplies. Door handles and other touch points and surfaces will be sanitized and wiped down on a frequent basis. This includes the main entrance door handles and other frequent touch points throughout the location.
Our stores are prepared, willing and able to modify operations, practices, and procedures as necessary and as directed by local officials to safely serve your favorite HiWay Pizza Pub and Liberty Craft House food and drink as we navigate through these dynamic times. This may include scenarios such as limiting seating to improve social distancing, moving to mobile/phone only pick-up and delivery options, etc. In any scenario, we expect disruptions, if any, to be brief.
We would like to thank you, our customers, for supporting us for the past 56 years and through these turbulent times. We will continue to communicate to our staff and you in upcoming weeks and months ahead as new information or changes come to light. We look forward to serving you soon!
