2020 Pandemic Plans & Procedures

We are excited to welcome you, your family and friends back to enjoy one of our properties! For those of you who have been to our properties before, you will notice a lot of changes. Please be patient with us as we navigate this new normal. Our team continues to re-evaluate week after week to determine what needs to change so we can continue to keep our community safe! To best prepare yourself, please review our Pandemic Plans & Procedures below. This page was last updated on October 8, 2020.

OUR COMMUNITY & RESPONSIBILITY

First, and for most, the health and safety of our team, our customers, and our community are and have always been our first priority. We take this responsibility very seriously, and we trust you do as well. None of us wants to see anyone get sick, nor do we want to see businesses have to close down again. We strive to be a leading example of how to safely operate while maintaining the highest quality experience for our customers.

In addition to following Michigan and CDC Guidelines, each of our properties will ensure the following changes:

No more than 50% capacity inside the buildings, and on property grounds
All staff will wear masks and gloves
Continual cleaning, including a deep clean each night
Single-use menus
Floor markers to encourage distancing
Reduced seating and floor plans to meet social distancing guidelines
We are only accepting credit cards at this time
We are currently accepting bus groups from the following approved companies with a maximum group size of 8: Harbor Country Adventures, Grape & Grain, Hops Noggin, South Shore Brew Bus

STAYING SAFE – OUR PART.

To minimize exposure, each member of our team will be wearing gloves while preparing orders. We are requiring new gloves to be worn at the start of every shift and switched out multiple times during the day.

At the start of every shift, employees are required to wash their hands and maintain this practice routinely throughout their shift. Guests have access to soap and water in the bathrooms, and hand sanitizer in specific locations on the property.

Our team is committed to deep cleaning each building every night. In addition, we will ensure all high-touch areas such as door handles, railings, tables, and chairs are sanitized throughout the day.
