The health and safety of our guests and team members continues to be our highest priority. We are beginning to re-open most of our restaurants for delivery and call ahead takeout services only.

As part of ongoing health and safety measures, franchise partners have been instructed to:

  • Screen staff before they enter the restaurant (all staff will have their temperature taken before their shift to ensure safety); staff are not permitted to work if they don’t feel well for whatever reason
  • Practice safe social distancing
  • Follow the strictest hygiene protocol

To promote a safer delivery experience, all orders are left at the customer’s door. Call ahead and pick-up takeout services will be available at participating locations with payment being accepted at the door.
