ORA Releases Protocols to Keep Customers Safe

The goal is to give Ohio eateries a way to protect patrons and employees

As the effort to remain safe and healthy during the coronavirus pandemic continues, many customers remain hesitant to eat out. The Ohio Restaurant Association (ORA) is now putting guidelines in place that regulate how businesses should respond if a staff member does test positive for the COVID-19, and addresses other protocols for keeping patrons safe.

“When this first started happening, people didn’t know what to do. We started to see businesses close down and just kind of freeze up a little bit. And so all the procedures that you need to follow, we now have that in a flow chart. We have a set of FAQs that the restaurateurs, employees, as well as the public can look at,” said Ohio Restaurant Association CEO, John Barker.

He explained, the goal of the new Unified Industry Voice campaign is to give Ohio eateries an organized way to protect patrons and employees, in order or sustain jobs and stimulate the economy.
