THE LIST: Restaurant services during COVID-19 emergency

March 28, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted major changes to daily life, with public health officials urging public distancing in order to slow the spread of the virus. Many local restaurants are responding to the crisis by focusing on take out and delivery services.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency in the province in response to the escalating public health threat posed by COVID-19. Restaurants are permitted to remain open but will be limited to takeout, including drive-thru and delivery. Licensed restaurants are also allowed to sell wine, beer and liquor with food orders.

Health and safety has always been a key priority for the restaurant industry, and local establishments are doing their part to limit social interactions and keep consumers safe during this difficult time.

Take out or pick up

Many restaurants, if able to do so, are offering take out, drive-thru and pick up service. Companies are encouraging payment by debit and/or credit cards and are and frequently sanitizing door handles and payment machines. Please remember to maintain a distance of about two metres between people.

Delivery

Many restaurants are also offering delivery service using either their own staff or third-party local delivery services. A small number of local restaurants are also using online services such as SkiptheDishes. Consumers should check with the establishment about accepted payment methods when placing their order.
