Fresh Gatherings to Re-Open
08/07/2020
Fresh Gatherings Café, SLU’s student-run, student-staffed eatery, will be open for the fall semester on Monday, Aug. 10, with expanded grab n’ go options and new social distancing measures aimed at protecting the Billiken community as they grab their favorite coffee drinks, snacks and light lunches.
The café will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, during the fall semester.
Snack Safe
Fresh Gatherings is implementing several strategies to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 among employees and customers such as:
- Practicing physical distance at all times
- Monitoring employee’s health
- Using protective equipment such as masks and gloves
- Cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting surfaces at all times
- Frequent hand-washing
- Installing sneeze guards and signage to help keep employees and customers safe
- Customers will be required to keep six-feet of social distancing around them, and to wear a mask at all times.
Service Adjustments
Self-service items such as the salad bar and hot lunches will no longer be available. However, a variety of these products will be available in their expanded grab ‘n’ go menu including sandwiches, salads, breakfast items, and snack items.
The coffee bar will still be fully functioning and ready for service.
There will be limited seating available.
The Fresh Gatherings team understands that these changes might be different from how they usually operate, but they are excited to serve the community and your support is greatly appreciated during this time.
If there are any other ways you feel the cafe can better serve you as they navigate reopening, please reach out to the team or connect via Instagram @freshgatherings direct message.
