Having a nice meal at your favorite café is out of the question in the middle of a global pandemic, but ordering a takeaway is still an option. If you decide to go down this road, here’s how you can do it safely and ethically.
No Contact
Practice social distancing by completing a payment online and avoid contact with your delivery driver by choosing a contact-free delivery option if possible.
Keep It Clean
Make sure to throw out your takeout packaging and disinfect all the surfaces it came in contact with, just in case it’s contaminated. Washing your hands afterward is also a must.
Support Small Businesses
If you’re justifying your decision to order food online by saying you want to support the economy, make sure to shop from small local businesses that need you the most right now.
Show Gratitude
Delivery drivers and food industry professionals are still working because they need a source of income, but that doesn’t change the fact they’re putting their health on the line. Show them gratitude by leaving a good review and tipping generously if you can afford it.
