Her Daughters Café safety guidelines outline new policies and procedures we have put in place to make our café as safe as possible for our teams and guests in the context of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. We created the policies and procedures in accordance with CDC, FDA, OSHA, State of Pennsylvania, and City of Philadelphia guidelines, and we will update them as guidance from those entities evolves.

 

Hand sanitizer stations are available at the main entrance and in each bathroom.

 

Designated cleaners will be at every location, sanitizing all high-touch areas including doorknobs, handles, tables, chairs, and restroom areas, at minimum every 30 minutes. Chairs and tables will be disinfected between each use with sanitizing wipes. The full restaurant will be deep cleaned and fully sanitized before and after every service.

 

Managers will maintain logs to ensure cleaning practices are followed.

 

Employees will undergo an extensive wellness check prior to each shift, including self-screening before arriving at work, COVID-19 exposure screening, and symptoms checks upon arrival and mid-shift. Employees will not be permitted in the building with any symptoms of illness and will not be allowed to return to work until they have met the CDC guidelines for safe return.

 

We will continue to maintain strict standards on frequent and thorough employee handwashing. Employees must wash their hands upon arrival to work and use antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer frequently. Team members are expected to take handwashing breaks a minimum of every 30 minutes, and to follow posted handwashing protocol. Team members are expected to wash their hands upon arrival to work; prior to and during food preparation; when switching between tasks; before donning gloves to work with food or clean equipment and utensils; after using the restroom; after handling soiled dishes and utensils; when visibly soiled; after coughing, sneezing, using a tissue, or touching their face; after eating or drinking; after smoking or vaping; after handling cell phones.

 

Team members and guests are required to wear face coverings (Guests may remove face coverings when eating and drinking.)

 

Her Daughters Café provides face coverings for all employees and additional PPE for relevant positions. Employees will be required to wear these masks throughout their entire shift. Team members will follow distributed guidance for putting on, removing, and disposing of masks.

 

Employee schedules and workspaces will be modified to maximize social distancing wherever possible. Employees will keep 6 feet away from guests whenever possible while not performing services.

 

Guests will be encouraged to stay 6 feet apart

 

All employees will undergo ongoing training on health and safety procedures, using PPE, and sanitation and cleaning standards.
