Wisconsin Reopening: Checklist for Restaurants

Use this WEDC-based checklist to plan and document a safe reopening for restaurants and bars in Wisconsin. The template covers employee health and hygiene practices, proper mask use, and cleaning and disinfection routines for high-touch and food-contact surfaces. It outlines food handling requirements under the Wisconsin Food Code, guidance for social distancing in dining rooms and bars, and customer protections such as signage, sanitizing stations, and contactless payments. It also provides protocols for pickup, delivery, and offsite catering, including no-touch options and designated pickup zones. Ideal for owners and managers organizing teams to implement and verify COVID-19 safety measures.
