Every shef is subject to food quality checks.
2
Every shef is required to wear a face mask, hairnet, and gloves while cooking.
3
Every shef is required to use a thermometer to take their temperature prior to food preparation.
Anyone who is feeling sick, who has a temperature above CDC guidelines (100.4° F), or exhibits any other COVID-19 symptoms is asked to inform us so that we can remove them from the platform until it is safe for them to return in accordance with CDC guidance.
