Our Commitment to Health and Safety

Our goal has always been to provide an experience that is both memorable and safe for our customers, and since the start of the pandemic those two things have never been more important. The health and safety of our employees and the public is our #1 priority, and we will continue to be a leader in our community by meeting or exceeding the guidelines set out by our local government to keep us all safe.

We have assessed the risks at our workplace and have actively involved our staff in addressing them. Working together we have identified areas of concern, tasks that may put risk upon our staff and the public, identified shared tools and equipment, and high contact touch areas.

To see how we have addressed these risks please see our Covid-19 Safety Plan below, formatted from WorkSafeBC. This Safety Plan also outlines the policies, guidelines, and procedures we have put in place to reduce Covid-19 transmission.

• Guests are encouraged to stand back from the window while their order is being readied
• Direct contact between staff members is avoided when possible, and communication is done primarily by phone or email
