Consumer & Staff Food Safety Precautions

Dear Valued Customers,

Nothing is more important to us than your safety.  At Garden of Eating Catering & Events we’re taking every precaution possible to ensure everyone continues to dine safely. We want to be as proactive as possible. Our primary concern is and will always be the safety of your team, colleagues and ours. 

We uphold the highest standards for hygiene and sanitation. Although studies show that the coronavirus does not survive in food, there are always rigorous practices in place at our kitchens to prevent the potential spread of all germs.  We are monitoring the situation and following the guidelines set-forth by CDC, our federal and local government and health agencies.  As part of our commitment to a safe and clean environment for our clients and our staff, we wanted to update you on the extra steps we are taking to help protect against the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).  

We want to make you aware of safety operating procedures in our kitchen, warehouse and office facility, and on-site at your offices.  We also have optional choices we can provide for your meal service

(i.e.. Individual box/bowl meals, or catering staff to serve) Please contact your account representative and they will support any and all service modifications you would like to make moving forward.
