Checklist: Reopening Your Restaurant After the Coronavirus Shutdown

The COVID-19 pandemic and related business shutdowns have hit the restaurant industry especially hard. As communities nationwide have rolled back restrictions on business operations, it’s time for independent restaurant owners to roll up their sleeves and decide when and how they will reopen for business.
​
Use this checklist to reopen your restaurant while keeping yourself, employees and diners safe.

This checklist by SCORE will help you determine what your customers expect when your restaurant reopens, talk to your employees about reopening, and put supply chains in place to keep your restaurant running smoothly after reopening.

Restaurants face unique challenges in the battle against COVID-19, and whether or not to reopen your restaurant as soon as restrictions for food establishments are lifted is a choice that only you can make.

SCORE’s restaurant reopening checklist will help ensure you take all the relevant factors into account to develop a well-thought-out plan, and includes resources to help you.
