Winter Holiday Entertaining THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE… The Catering by Michaels Team understands that the holidays look different this year, but the importance of celebrating and being with loved ones (whether in person or virtually) has never been more important. The pandemic has been tough on everyone and especially the hospitality business. We are so thankful for your support, loyalty, and understanding. We look forward to helping you celebrate the holidays and many more celebrations in the future. Health and safety have always been of the utmost importance to us, but it is critical now more than ever that we prioritize health and the way we practice sanitation. Here are the things we are doing to keep you safe: *All employees are subject to a daily health screening before the start of each shift. This includes recording temperatures, checking for symptoms, and completing a series of questions related to COVID-19 and potential exposure. *We are operating our kitchen with two isolated teams who never physically interact. If it becomes necessary for one team to undergo testing or quarantine, the other team can continue working to prepare food safely. * All staff are required to wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) which includes masks and gloves as well as face shields and disposable aprons when applicable. *Catering by Michaels employees are required to adhere to social distancing guidelines. All food prep areas in our kitchens are stationed at least 6ft apart and floors are marked with arrows and boxes to indicate appropriate distances. *No visitors or vendors are allowed to enter our kitchen or offices. *Routine sanitation of all frequently touched surfaces in prep kitchens, warehouse offices, conference areas and vehicles take place every hour. WHAT TO EXPECT THIS YEAR Due to COVID-19 there are a few changes to take note of as it pertains to the Winter Holiday season: • We have created a new small group package to accommodate smaller gatherings this year. • We have adjusted the “pan size” of many menu items to have less food for smaller groups. • We have lowered the minimum quantities required to order on certain menu items. • We have reduced the amount of menu options available to order to streamline our production. • We have switched to all disposable packaging, no baskets or pyrex dishes will be used this year. • Every day we are offering no contact curbside pick-up at our office in Morton Grove. On Christmas Eve we have several new pick-up locations, see page 20 for details. • We are offering only contact-free deliveries (delivery drivers will not enter homes and will not unbox food). • Orders placed with less than 1 week notice will be subject to a 10% rush surcharge. Due to supply chain shortages and COVID safety procedures with scheduling our team, our costs significantly increase for orders with less than 1 week notice. Thank you again for your continued support and understanding during this time! We look forward to helping you celebrate the holidays in the safest way possible!
