“MIXX 165 REOPENING WITH SAFETY IN MIND!”
The last few months have been challenging for people all over the globe; the COVID-19 outbreak has forced politicians and employers to make very difficult decisions regarding restaurant operations. Many eateries were able to navigate the storm and maintain operations in an altered capacity, but others were much less fortunate and were forced to close their doors. We are so blessed, our AMAZING customers took incredible care of us and we were able to maintain most of our crew throughout this ordeal. Our team wants to give a huge “THANK YOU” for your continued support!!!
We’re excited to announce that our lobby and patio will be reopening Thursday, May 21st at 11am!!!
As many of you know, Governor Mike DeWine is beginning to reopen the state of Ohio. With guidance from industry professionals and the Ohio Restaurant Association, state leaders have agreed upon guidelines that they believe will both allow restaurants and bars to reopen and keep the public safe. Restaurants were already heavily regulated before COVID, so we’re experienced in working with local health authorities and following detailed safety protocols. We are very confident that Ohio restaurants will rise to the occasion and make smart decisions to keep their customers and employees safe!
We here at MIXX165 have always prided ourselves on cleanliness and safety, we feel well equipped to deal with these new challenges; we have implemented many new procedures that are compliant with state and local regulations. We have adjusted the floor plan of our our interior dining space to allow for proper social distancing between tables, for tables that are not six feet apart we have installed plastic barriers as regulations require, these barriers will be cleaned on a regular basis (please don’t touch barriers). Each table and all seats will be thoroughly cleaned after each use along with all laminated menu sheets. As current mandates require, our front of house service staff will be in proper face coverings. For our customers, face coverings are optional. Mandates also require guests to remain with their party, please for our sake, respect these rules; we don’t wish to have any issues with our local health authorities.
We are going to maintain our first come first serve policy and will not take reservations, in the scenario of a wait, you will be asked to return to your car until your table is ready; we will text you when your table is available. We understand there are many people who are still not comfortable returning to restaurants and that is 100% okay, for these folks we are continuing our phone-in, curbside pick up option. There will be signs posted at two parking spaces in our lot for curbside pick up. Please be patient with us as we are reopening, these systems are relatively new to us and we will be learning and adjusting as we go!!!
We understand that there is an ongoing debate over face coverings and individuals have strong opinions both ways and that is okay, we’re all entitled to our beliefs. We ask that all guests be respectful of one another, everyone is stressed and causing a public scene over face coverings or social distancing beliefs is unacceptable; this sort of behavior will not be tolerated. We’re all going through this together and we ask that everyone be kind and help spread the love. We are so incredibly excited to see you, we’ve missed you dearly and can’t wait to get back to what we love doing!!!
