Cases of coronaviruses areon the rise of some states, which causes a new wave of restaurant closures and reported reopinitions - very a reality that is there to stay. Even when restaurants reopen, they probably did not work at full capacity or host crowds for a long time.

In the meantime in a cluttered pickup area for your order number or name to call is definitely one thing from the past. Most restaurants eliminate crowds using pickup windows and driving, while waiting inside the restaurant itself will likely be eliminated.

After restoration of catering rooms, fast food restaurants will move to a much more controlled dinner environment. Customers will only be allowed to sit in designated seats at designated tables and they will probably not have much choice in the material. Breaking the provisions of social distancing by pressing several tables together and adding more chairs for large parties will be prohibited.

Another important area of ​​pandemic innovation is the real physical menu. Fast food companies like iHop areMake reusable menus And moving to single-use paper menus for the purpose of limiting the surfaces affected in their restaurants. Others have usedQR codes which can be scanned to extract a digital menu on customer phones.

This will probably become a permanent change for many because the food that has been treated by many people now seems less attractive than ever.

As with straws, fast food restaurants are moving away from pre-coupeted lemon tubs and lemon shims that you may have encountered next to Soda machines or other self-service areas. And good riddance, we say, since the rumor has these neighborhoods were a cesspool of germs, anyway. Readwhich and other shocking secrets, your restaurant servers will not tell you.

Early in the pandemic, Starbucks eliminated their ecological policy ofServe refills for customers in their own reusable cups. Similarly, restaurants have followed, and servers are serversIs no longer allowed to complete your beverage of a common pitcher or using the same glassware. Be it with water, wine or coffee, you get a new glass or a new cup each time you receive a refill.

Restaurants have taken the decencup of their processes as well as their tables, so all these additional elements such as condiments, syrup bottles, butter packets and towel dispensers disappeared. This helps reduce the amount of things that dinners share each other, which is crucial during this pandemic.

You can not find any towel dispensers on fast food tables. Instead, you will receive towel towels at your table by your server.

By eliminating high traffic, tactile high-point areas of their locations, it is quite possible from restaurants like McDonald's will kidnapping game areas for children. McDonald's playgrounds wereone of the first closed areas when the pandemic has started In March, as operations in such risked circumstances is impossible.

McDonald noted in a press release that all dinner customers can expect to have their food delivered directly to the table "in a double-folded bag, while always guaranteeing a safe social distancing". This means that the days of getting your food to get you back on a tray, get out of its packaging, are probably left forever.

Similar efforts to prevent food contamination and alterations are also exercised for delivery and take-out orders. Chipotle, for example, started using "inviolable bags" that are sealed up for your safety. The way your food delivery is packaged will probably be safer than ever.

Like table condiments, syrup bottles in dinners and fast food chains are a thing of the past. The IHOP, for example, now uses "syrups and condiments supplied in single-use containers" instead.

While we were abducted to a non-cash world, even before this year, the pandemic has launched these efforts at high speeds. In April, some fast food restaurants began to provide their customers with easy-to-use contact methods that either via their own application, such as Starbucks or third-party applications likeDynamism. "We predict that the mobile application will become the dominant form of payment," said Starbucks Kevin Johnson's CEO in May and we think it's right. It is difficult to imagine restaurants on their application technologies to restore the obsolete method of cash payments, even after the pandemic. here is aList of fast food chains that have gone without cash in recent months.
