NORTH CANTON, Ohio — A North Canton café has found an unusual way to maintain social distancing ahead of its reopening on May 21 by installing shower-curtain liners as dividers between tables, according to News 5 media partner The Canton Repository.
Kim Shapiro, co-owner of Twisted Citrus, said tables have been arranged to face back to back. The new floor plan reduces seating capacity from 80 to 55 people.
“I came up with the idea of clear vinyl shower-curtain liners as dividers between tables,” Shapiro said. “They’re suspended from the ceiling with hooks and drop down to where the back of a chair would be.
Shapiro said she is making sure customers feel comfortable to come to the restaurant with precautions. The shower curtains will be sanitized with Lysol and COVID-19 cleaner spray.
"We’re being as serious as we can about it but it’s still the hospitality business. We don’t want to make our guests feel like they’re on constant alert,” she said. “It’s a struggle.”
