The internal programme is designed to complement and fully support the latest local and national government guidance, as well as incorporating Hard Rock Cafe’s additional safety precautions. As part of the new protocol for example, all guests and team members will be required to pass a non-intrusive thermal temperature screening process before entering each Hard Rock Cafe location.

Stephen K. Judge, President of Cafe Operations for Hard Rock International, said: “The health and safety of guests, team members and their families is, and has always been, Hard Rock’s highest priority. Over the past few months, Hard Rock Cafe worked tirelessly with our partners at ECOSURE and NSF International, as well as with local, state, federal and global public health agencies to develop the ‘SAFE + SOUND’ programme. As we continue to navigate this new way of life, we are committed to providing a safe and healthy dining environment for our guests and team members.”

Nick Chiverton, General Manager at Hard Rock Cafe Edinburgh, said: “We are delighted to reopen the doors to our customers next week. Our motto at Hard Rock Cafe is ‘Love All, Serve All’ and this is at the heart of guest experience and their safety. Customers can expect a very warm – but of course socially distanced – welcome back. It’s been a difficult few months for everyone and Hard Rock Cafe even celebrated its 49th birthday behind closed doors during lockdown but we are excited to get back to what we do best, and bring a smile to the faces of our guests.”

In addition to the handheld temperature device, the “SAFE + SOUND” programme will also incorporate elements of local government guidelines that are in line with the latest Scottish Government regulations:

• A dedicated ‘Clean Team’ in-restaurant, focusing on regularly sanitising all high-touch areas, including restrooms, tables, seating, menus and door handles
