Safety Enables Hospitality
Your diligence in following safety protocols will be critical in delivering the fun, energy and escape of the Cuba Libre experience. Only when we feel safe can we show and create a great guest experience. Only when guests trust that we are protecting them, can they relax and begin to enjoy themselves.
COVID-19 Considerations:
Currently, all employees are required to have their temperature checked and health questionnaires completed before shifts, and wear face masks throughout shifts. These requirements are expected to change over time. Mask mandates may be lifted in some of our restaurants’ jurisdictions. In such a case, until the pandemic is declared over, our guests and team members will have the option to wear masks but may not be required to do so. Employees must frequently wash hands and disinfect the work area throughout the shift.
