Skip the Stuff Signage and Documents
Confused about what is allowed under Needham’s Skip the Stuff initiative? Looking for easy ways to keep your customers and staff informed about the program? Print and post the following signage near your check-out and self-service stations.
- Flyer – post this at your check-out station to inform your customers that they need to request the utensils and condiments that they need.
- Sign for Self-Serve Stations – post this at customer self-serve stations to inform your customers that they should only take the utensils and condiments that they need.
- Take-out Reminder – clip off and include with take-out order to inform customers that they need to request utensils and condiments.
- “Back of the House” Sign/Employee Information Sheet – “cheat sheet” so that restaurants can easily keep their employees informed about the program and how to respond to customers’ questions.
