COVID-19 GUIDELINES
With the new reality we are facing, Locally Grown is dedicated to enforce the highest health and safety standards for your crew and our catering staff. Below is an outline of the guidelines we will be implementing into our daily service and routine to ensure we are serving our guests properly. We understand the precautionary measures we need to take to make everyone involved feel safe and comfortable with our services.

Our idea to achieve this is to incorporate the following:
The guidelines written above will help us maintain an orderly, safe approach to accommodate our guests, while achieving social distance. We will continue to adapt to your production crew’s needs, as well as administer safe protocols to make this new reality a manageable transition for us all. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.
Staff Wellness, Safety & Cleaning Procedures
- All personnel will be checked regularly at the start of their shift (temperature) and sent home automatically if they have any symptoms at all.
- Staff will wear appropriate food service Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) not limited to gloves and face coverings.
- Our kitchen trucks and commissary will be sanitized regularly and floors will be cleaned with disinfectant.
- As face coverings cannot be worn while eating, adequate eating space will be provided to ensure physical distancing can be maintained during meal periods.
- We are requesting that Productions provide hand washing/sanitation stations in close proximity to the catering service.
Meal Period Protocols
- Communal “buffet style” food service, including salad bars, trays of food, or any food service that requires sharing of utensils such as serving spoons or tongs has been eliminated until further notice.
- All meals will be served in an eco-friendly “to go” container with a lid.
- Eating utensils will be disposable and individually wrapped.
- Desserts, salads, etc. will be pre-packaged when necessary.
- We will only be providing single-serve packaged and disposable condiments.
- A four walled 10x10 tent with walk-up window will be provided for serving auxiliary menu items such as:
- All beverages to include coffee, tea, juice, milk, iced tea and lemonade
- Desserts, cookies and ice cream
- Cold cereal, oatmeal, fruit, donuts and pastries
- This tent will be manned by Locally Grown staff in masks and gloves to distribute food and beverages items.
Breakfast
- All hot breakfast items will be served individually wrapped and portioned. These items will be available for pick up.
- Breakfast Examples:
- Egg Scrambles
- Breakfast Burritos
- Breakfast Sandwiches
- Pancakes
- French Toast
- Cereal, oatmeal, pastries, fruit will be available upon request from special walk-up tent
- *Special requests can be accommodated off the truck
Lunch
- To streamline lunch, we are suggesting that each department send a representative to the truck to pick up lunch orders. These orders would be taken to the appropriate eating area. This would ensure that we have minimal guests at the truck window.
Our idea to achieve this is to incorporate the following:
- Menus will be given to department heads the day before by Production.
- Each department head would place the order for their department and
submit to Production by EOD day before. - We will do our best to accommodate day of orders, but the majority of orders
should be placed the day prior. - During breakfast and lunch, the representative would pick up a box that
corresponds with the order placed.
The guidelines written above will help us maintain an orderly, safe approach to accommodate our guests, while achieving social distance. We will continue to adapt to your production crew’s needs, as well as administer safe protocols to make this new reality a manageable transition for us all. We look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions.
