As the City of Love begins to reopen restaurants for dine-in services, establishments are coming up with novel ways to implement safety measures. This is important, for after months of just takeout and delivery, Ilonggos are now looking for restaurants that prioritize the health and safety of their diners. If you walk into Razon’s by Glenn located at the second floor of Festive Walk Mall in Iloilo, you will see how this restaurant sets an example—in a unique and creative fashion.
Razon's By Glenn is a Kapampangan family restaurant that is known for its three-ingredient halo-halo (a dessert with mixed fruit, shaved ice and milk) and tasty palabok (rice noodle with thick golden shrimp sauce). Apart from having waiters in protective gear and separated tables, the restaurant also implements additional safety protocols and ensures social distancing with an adorable approach, as you will see below.
Filling out of forms upon entry
Customers have to fill out and sign a form before they can sit down and enjoy a meal in this Kapampangan restaurant. This extra precaution set by the establishment requires diners to provide their names and contact information for potential COVID-19 tracing. If the restaurant's lowered capacity is already met, the staff will give the customers a call once their table is ready.
