Covid-19 Safety Protocols

INTRODUCTION

At Clyde’s Cupcakes, we have always taken in pride in making the safety, health, and well-being of our employees and our guests our top priority. As we have prepared for re-opening, we have developed this safety plan of action that reiterates and enhances our long-standing commitment. We will continue to adhere to elevated and stringent sanitation policies, food safety protocols, as we add newly developed social distancing guidelines as well as guest/employee interaction safety procedures, and we will phase in any policy as necessary under guidance from our local, state, and federal authorities.
We are closely monitoring government policy changes, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, government mandates, and public health advancements, and we will continue to make changes as necessary or appropriate to our protocols and procedures. All policies and procedures have been developed with full consideration of the following guidance:
