OUR “COVID SAFE” PLAN

FOLLOWING ONTARIO'S REGULATIONS FOR SAFE GATHERINGS

Based on Ontario’s reopening plan, we are pleased to provide fully vaccinated staffing services at all venues formerly covered by the Ontario Vaccine Passport, as well as any private events which request fully vaccinated staff,  and are continuing to follow the guidelines below​:
 

  • All Staff are conducting self-assessments before attending a shift with us. Staff who have recently traveled outside the country or who are feeling unwell are asked to stay home for everyone's safety.​

 

  • Hand sanitizing stations should be set up at all entry points of the event to ensure all attendees (guests and staff) sanitize their hands upon entering the event space.

 

  • Our staff are still happy to wear masks on any event that requests masks to be worn. Disposable Masks and Gloves should be provided onsite for guests and for staff as needed. Staff are expected to have their own PPE kit, but these items should also be onsite as needed.

 

  • Handwashing stations should be provided for staff and guests. Staff MUST wash or sanitize hands every time they come into contact with public items.
    ​

  • Physical Distance - As much as possible, our staff will continue to practice social distancing from guests  and other people working on site, by providing and maintaining 6 foot distance in the kitchen, bussing areas, and staff storage/changing area.

​

​
TIPS FOR SAFER SERVICE:

The following are recommendations we’re passing along to our clients and colleagues - these are considered “best practices” but their usage will differ on an event by event basis.

 

  • Contact Tracing - We’re asking our clients to consider recording each patron’s name and contact information to support effective contact tracing (in the event of an outbreak)

 

  • Hors D’oeuvres - We’re asking our clients to consider pre-packaged hors d’oeuvres whenever possible, so that each guest receives their own individual, sanitary portion of food during passed service.

 

  • Table Settings - If pre-setting flatware on the table prior to dinner service, we’re asking our clients to consider limiting guest access to the dining room until guests take their seats.

 

  • Staff Ratios - Due to the ever changing nature of this pandemic, our recommended staffing ratios will continue to be subject to change on an event by event basis. 

 

  • Physical Distance - We’re asking our clients to enable physical distancing by redesigning spaces/interactions and implementing flow management

 

  • Event Flow - We’re asking our clients to stagger guest arrival & seating times to prevent lineups. Or, use floor decals and signage to assist with the flow of guests. ​

 

  • Beverage top-ups -  Our staff will endeavor to minimize touching glassware/coffee cups when refilling beverages on event.

 

  • Table Setting: We’re asking our clients to arrange tables and chairs so that a 6 foot/2 metre distance is maintained between each dining party. 

 

  • Clearing & Bussing: We’re asking our clients to consider having rentals come with additional bags so that after our staff have cleared tables and placed them back into the crate, they can be sealed to limit further contamination. 

 

  • Buffet Service - We encourage having a serviced buffet to eliminate all high touch surfaces, with either a plexiglass barrier between service staff and guests or an additional table/stanchion barrier to keep physical distance between service staff and guests.

 

  • Guest Arrival Times - We’re asking our clients to stagger guest arrival times to prevent lineups/bottlenecking

 

  • Bartending - Bartenders must provide their own tools - sanitize at top of shift and throughout the shift. Avoid sharing products or tools between workstations and if sharing is required, clean and disinfect products and tools between users. When product divvied up - must wash hands before and after disbursement of product.

 

  • Breathing Breaks when masked onsite - Staff are encouraged to be given hourly “breathing breaks” where they can take off their masks (preferably outside if easily accessible) as wearing masks for extended periods of time does get exhausting.

​

*Disclaimer & Assumption of Risk 

Core 2.0 has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, while we endeavor to keep our staff members, guests and clients safe through these policies, our policies do not guarantee elimination of the potential risk of contracting COVID-19 (or any other illness) . Each Core 2.0 staff member by agreeing to a shift with our team acknowledges the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assumes the risk that they may be exposed to and/or infected by COVID-19 when on event.

​

​

HEALTH AND SAFETY - A GROUP EFFORT
 

If you are onsite with the CORE 2.0 team and you are genuinely concerned about health and safety protocols not being followed by either a client, their event/guests or a member of the CORE 2.0 team, please do not hesitate to speak with your onsite supervisor so they can assess and call the office if need be.

​

We appreciate your help in keeping our team members, event partners and guests, COVID safe!
