Facebook statement from Kayla Stanfill Bynum human resources director for the six Jackson Sonic Drive-In locations concerning COVID-19.
We would like to take a moment to thank our valued guests for continuing to support local businesses and to assure you of our commitment to continue to serve the community in the safest manner possible during this difficult and uncertain time.
While we are a national restaurant brand, the Jackson Sonic locations are franchise-owned stores owned by community members who were born and raised right here in West Tennessee. Thanks to our loyal guests, we have been proudly serving the community for over 30 years. We will be working diligently to continue to serve you in the safest and most efficient manner possible.
We are continually monitoring the evolving situation with COVID-19 and are following guidance from the CDC, WHO, and other health officials to strengthen our already stringent operational standards. The health and safety of our guests and team members is of the utmost importance to us.
We already:
• Have a handwashing policy that requires our team members to wash their hands every 20 minutes and between tasks
• Utilize gloves and tongs when preparing food
• Utilize a stringent Contagious Illness Policy to guide when team members may not work
• Employ robust cleaning and sanitizing procedures inside and outside the drive-in, and
• Require all restaurant team members to be certified in food safety
We are implementing additional measures, including:
• Increased cleaning and sanitizing of high touch areas inside and outside the drive-in, including the red button and our digital touchscreens
• Reinforcing our handwashing policy and other protocols more frequently, and
• Reminding team members and guests of contactless ordering and payment options through our mobile app
Additionally, we are temporarily closing the patio of all locations as well as the inside dining area of the North Parkway location. We are happy to continue to serve you at the drive-in stalls and drive-thru at all locations. We will continue to explore additional tools, resources and processes to further protect you and our team.
Thank you for your continued love of SONIC
