The Efficient Way To Keep Staff And Customers Safe
Separate research from analysts at Nielsen found a quarter of consumers saying they were visiting local C-Stores more than they did before the pandemic.
And for their part, convenience stores have stepped up and delivered during the coronavirus outbreak, with C-Stores working overtime to keep shelves stocked, often when larger supermarkets have struggled to cope.
But the coronavirus pandemic has forced C-Store retailers to introduce a variety of social distancing measures to keep staff and customers safe.
Your convenience store operation is undoubtedly scrambling to adapt to the ‘new normal’ and you may already know that the measures you need to make will have a significant impact on your business. But with the situation changing daily, do you know what your next steps should be?
Adapting Operations
Are you 100% confident that all the social distancing guidelines are met at all times across your business? Do you monitor and keep consistent evidence of due diligence?
Keep Staff and Customers Safe
Conducting frequent Covid safety checks, Covid Audits and Covid risk assessments using a checklist built by experts is one way to ensure you’re complying with all of the measures we’ve identified by working with C-Store experts and operators across the UK.
Protection For Your C-Store
Covid Audits deliver due diligence, protecting your convenience store in the event of a visit by Environmental Health.
