Our staff is here to make your experience the best it can be and maintain a safe and clean workspace for all guests.

GOURMANDISE KITCHENS

Our state-of-the-art commercial style kitchens are cleaned diligently by our staff and kept to health code standards. The open floorplan makes for a well-ventilated environment with ample room for social distancing.

• Surfaces are cleaned with disinfectant every 90-minutes throughout the day when kitchens are in use.
• Dishes and utensils are washed with antibacterial soap and sanitized after each use.
• Kitchens are sanitized between each event with minimum 1 hour between groups.
• Where applicable, we are following the LA County protocols for safety and sanitation for COVID-19.

GOURMANDISE GUESTS

With the limitation of government regulation on proof of vaccination with regards to COVID-19, for events which are private, and for the safety of our staff and guests, for the time being, we are requiring ONE of the following:

1. Proof of vaccination and identification for each event guest in each party. 
2. Proof that all guests are in the same household.
3. Proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of event.

OR

If ONE of the above 3 requirements cannot be met by all guests, masks must be worn for the duration of your event while not actively eating or drinking.

As LA County progresses to the next tier, we will continue to follow the guidelines that apply to us.

• Events have a maximum guest count of 20 people per kitchen (40 total)
• In your event, guests will work in pairs
• Guests will be asked to complete a COVID-19 self-assessment before coming into the school and if feeling any symptoms, asked to stay home.
• Guests will be asked to sign a waiver prior to arrival at the school.
• Upon arrival to the kitchen you will be guided to wash your hands and sanitize before putting on your freshly laundered apron at your station.
