Restaurants in Ottawa are getting ready to welcome diners back inside their dining rooms for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to close.
In Stage 3, nearly all businesses in Ottawa will reopen with pandemic control measures in place. The restaurant capacity is limited by how much space they have to keep tables spaced at least six feet apart.
At Beckta Dining & Wine, they are going all out to get ready. There are teams in prepping and cleaning for a while. The restaurant is also able to run large covered patios at other restaurants, but things will look different when the dining rooms reopen.
Staff will be masked up and will wash hands in between touching of plates. There is one team to serve, one team to clear so that there are regimented steps.
