Is your business prepared to survive the winter? As the temperatures begin to cool down and patios close for the season, countless restaurant owners and managers are looking to reopen their indoor dining rooms. While many restaurant goers are excited to dine in at their favorite spots, some are concerned about the risk of coronavirus. Join us for a review of the lessons we have learned as we have helped businesses ensure operating continuity and implement COVID-19 programs through our Checked by NSF™ program. NSF, a global public health organization, has been dedicated to protecting and improving human health for more than 70 years.
