Georgia restaurants are now permitted to reopen for dine-in service and must comply with a set of 39 state-mandated guidelines, including requiring staff to wear faces masks, spacing out seating in dining areas, and limiting capacity to only ten diners per 300 square feet in the dining room, at the bar, and on the patio. Additionally, Georgia’s restaurants must try to use disposable menus and contactless pay options as much as possible, prioritize takeout and delivery over dining in, and post signs at entrances stating no one is allowed inside who is exhibiting COVID-19 symptoms or a fever. Some restaurants may also require patrons to have their temperatures checked before entering or be asked to wear masks until they are seated at a table.
Restaurants must comply with these state-mandated guidelines through at least May 31. It’s unclear if the governor plans to extend this guideline period beyond that date.
Several Atlanta-area restaurants have already reopened for dine-in service. Eater Atlanta plans to keep a running list of restaurants reopening over the coming weeks.
