As guests begin returning to hotels in a post pandemic world, health and food service safety is becoming a higher priority than ever. Today, guests make hotel selections based on expectations that the hotel has taken the necessary preventive measures to keep guests safe and minimize their exposure to potential health risks.
Luckily, as a leading expert in serving the hospitality industry, Rosseto is here to help provide health and safety solutions. It is our goal to supply the necessary resources enabling establishments to keep their guests protected.
Keeping the FDA reopening best practices in mind, Rosseto has developed a step by step guide for a post-COVID dining hall that ensures the health and safety of its guests and workers.
1. Maintain Social Distancing
To safely reopen a dining hall, having a plan for maintaining social distancing protocols is a must. While there are several different methods of encouraging social distancing, here are a few of the most effective:
- Using directional tape on the dining hall floor is a budget-friendly option to help encourage guests to maintain social distancing. Additional wall signage can direct guest attention to some of the safety protocols of the dining hall.
- Partitions also act as an even more effective method of maintaining social distancing in dining halls. The best part is that they are portable which makes keeping up to date with the latest social distancing measures simpler than ever. The Avant Guarde mobile partitions and room dividers are sleek and come in multiple colors, ensuring proper safety and privacy without compromising aesthetics.
The Avant Guarde table dividers and booth dividers are yet another opportunity to provide extra layers of protection to open seating areas. Designed for high-traffic use with a modern look, these dividers are ideal for post-COVID dining hall environments.
2. Safely Reopen Buffet Area
Aligning with new health regulations, the Avant Guarde barrier shields and sneeze guards allow for safe buffet set-ups or cashier and order-taking stations. Minimize potentially risky face-to-face interactions between hotel guests and staff and readily display that guest and staff safety is a top priority.
3. Opt for Hands-Free Solutions
It can be challenging to imagine eliminating high-touch areas and equipment in a dining hall. Rather than getting rid of them entirely, try opting for hands-free solutions instead. Rosseto has new no-touch beverage & cereal dispensers designed to minimize contact and the transfer of germs.
4. Provide Air Sterilization
The final recommendation for providing guests and staff with the ultimate level of protection is by sterilizing the air they are breathing. Ionsphere Air Sterilizer Units are the latest introduction from Rosseto create clean, pathogen-free air, making a safe zone area. Using patented bi-polar ion technology, Ionsphere distributes a unique combination of positive and negative ions resulting in air that is 99% free from germs, viruses, and bacteria.
Ionsphere has multiple options to choose from based on square footage coverage, including table and countertop rechargeable units and wall-mounted units. These ionizers disperse anywhere from 25 billion up to 10 trillion ions per square per second, depending on the size of the unit.
Best of all, this safe zone technology does not require any HVAC installation. Air sterilization goes above and beyond social distancing guidelines to provide guests and staff a higher level of safety.
REOPEN WITH CONFIDENCE
Don’t let the FDA best practices scare you away from reopening your dining hall post-pandemic. With the help of hospitality serving solution leaders like Rosseto, you can prioritize food service safety and provide a protected environment for guests and hotel staff alike.
