Restaurant Take Out Safety

Support Wellesley’s local restaurants! Many restaurants are offering  take-out, curbside pick-up and delivery options during this time. The Health Department has these Take-Out Safety Tips.  

• Transfer the food from the packaging to a clean container in your kitchen. 
• Opt out of utensils from the restaurant, use your own kitchen utensils and dishware.
• Wash your hands before enjoying your meal.
•  Avoid sharing utensils, food or drinks during this time. 
• Discard packaging after you finished your meal, wipe your counters and wash your hands.
• Maintain social distancing, six (6) feet apart, approximately within arm’s length of one another when waiting in lines to check-out. 
• Request to keep the delivery contactless by having the courier leave your meal on your doorstep, front porch, lobby, etc. 
• Use contactless payment by paying online or by phone if possible, if exchanging credit card or cash, lay it on the takeout counter, avoid touching hands directly.

Residents may also want to consider buying gift certificates to be used later.
