Welcome back to another exciting year at Roosevelt Chicago! These are extraordinary times and we want you to know that the University and Dining Services are going to great lengths to safeguard the community against Covid-19. Among the safeguards we have put into place to keep us all safe are:
1-All employees, students and guests are required to wear masks at all times within the serving area of the cafeteria, Starbucks and Franklin’s Pizza Shop. Removing of masks is only permitted while distanced in the dining room and while actually eating or drinking.
2-Social distancing floor markings have been put into place for service and for traffic to and from the cafeteria and dining room.
3-Capacity of the cafeteria has been limited to 20 people, new guests can enter when other patrons exit.
4-The dining room has been reconfigured to keep people safely distanced
5-Face shields and plexiglass dividers will be in use to prevent spread of the virus
6-A delivery program is being implemented for use by sick patrons and to reduce crowding during peak times – more information regarding this is coming soon
7-Reusable food boxes are being distributed to every student to encourage to go meals to distanced locations
8-Every employee has been thoroughly trained on hand washing, mask use, proper glove use and other techniques to help stop the spread of the virus
9-Multiple hand sanitizing stations have been added so everyone has ample access to appropriate sanitizing solutions
10-The cafeteria will close for ten minutes every two-three hours to allow for proper surface sanitation
11-All dining room surfaces will be sanitized regularly throughout the day
12-All self service items, salad bar, soup station, etc have been eliminated to help prevent spreading any pathogens. All condiments, cups and cutlery will be distributed to individual patrons
As new information becomes available and best practices are developed and implemented, we will keep you up to date here!
