• Conspicuously post the number of patrons that
constitutes 25%, making such posting visible to
patrons inside and outside of the restaurant;
• Conspicuously post, both inside and outside of the
establishment (e.g., on the door), the phone and
text number to report violations: individuals who
observe violations can report issues by calling 833-

from each party signs in before or immediately

Ensure patrons wear face coverings at all times, except
while seated; provided that the patron is over the age
