Food Service Industry Guidelines and Resources:

Restaurants are starting with a 33% capacity rule. As much as possible, we encourage you to do business via the phone or internet. Keep in-house party sizes down to ten people or less. On top of following the minimum requirements we mentioned earlier, be sure to also read and follow all of Kentucky’s guidelines for restaurants here.
The FDA has many resources for you as you reopen and work to remain open. You can see all of their articles and fact sheets here. Here are a few top articles to check out:
