To My Guests, Friends, and Fans,

At Gayle V's Best Ever Grilled Cheese, my top priority is the health and safety of my staff, guests, and community. I am staying informed by closely monitoring the news of the coronavirus and the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). In addition, I have implemented a number of enhanced protocols to ensure safety for everyone.

Proper hygiene etiquette and strict sanitation procedures have always been a part our daily operations. Given the outbreak of COVID-19, I am reinforcing these best practices and procedures to ensure the shop has the highest standards for cleanliness and sanitation for team members, guests, and the community as a whole. The following are some of the basic guidelines that my team and I always follow and enforce, in addition to some new practices.

What We Are Doing:

• Implementing heightened sanitation procedures in our kitchen, including increased wipe downs of all counters, cutting surfaces, and utensils.
• Sanitizing all “high-touch” surfaces at regular intervals.
• Reinforcing hygiene and hand-washing procedures for all employees.
• Educating my employees on preventative measures provided by the CDC.

What We Are Asking Our Employees and Guests To Do:

• Wash your hands frequently for at least 20 seconds and use a paper towel to dry.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
• Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then immediately throw the tissue in the trash and wash your hands.
• Stay home if you are sick.

I will continue to stay informed, monitor the guidelines from CDC, and revise our actions as needed.

Thank you, Gayle V.
