County Approved for On-Site Dining
The County San Luis Obispo is now in late Stage 2 of the State’s Resilience Roadmap. We have been approved by the State of California to move into late Stage 2 when on-site dining is allowed at food facilities. Food Facilities that plan to offer on-site dining in accordance with the State’s COVID-19 Industry Guidance: for Dine-In Restaurants should prepare the 3 documents below. A Ready to Reopen toolkit is also available to help businesses open and operate safely. The toolkit also includes an “Open and Safe” sign that businesses can print and display if they choose to.

Train employees on the plan. Implement the plan; regularly evaluate for compliance with plan, document and correct any deficiencies identified. Update the plan as needed. COVID-19 Prevention Plans and Checklists must be kept on-site at all facilities or business locations and provide to County or City officials upon request.
