COVID-19 Response
We are committed to protect you by protecting our employees, customers, and communities. At Yipao we are closely following the public health recommendations for the local and state health departments, the Center for Disease Control & Prevention and the World Health Organization to maintain a healthy environment as our top priority.
Here are just a few of the steps we have taken to make things easier and safer for you to ensure that you can continue to enjoy your coffee without worry. These are some of the precautions we're implementing to slow the spread of COVID-19:
-
Staying Home when Appropriate
- We educate our Yipao team about when they should stay home and when they can return to work.
- Yipao has developed policies that encourage sick employees to stay at home without fear of reprisal, and ensure employees are aware of these policies.
- We educate our Yipao team about when they should stay home and when they can return to work.
-
Hand Hygiene and Respiratory Etiquette
- We require frequent employee handwashing (e.g. before, during, and after preparing food; after touching garbage) with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and increase monitoring to ensure adherence.
- We encourage our Yipao employees to cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. Used tissues should be thrown in the trash and hands washed immediately with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- If soap and water are not readily available, we also offer hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
-
Cloth Face Coverings
- Yipao requires the use of cloth face coverings among all staff, as feasible. Face coverings are most essential in times when physical distancing is difficult.
-
Ventilation
- We ensure that ventilation systems operate properly and increase circulation of outdoor air as much as possible, for example by opening windows and doors and prioritizing outdoor seating.
-
Physical Barriers and Guides
- We've ensured to install physical barriers, such as our cash registers, and pickup areas where maintaining physical distance of at least 6 feet is difficult.
We appreciate your continued support in complying with these COVID-19 regulations.
With love and respect,
The Yipao Team
