The world is changing and has taken on a series of life habits that if we had thought of them a year ago we would have considered them absurd. Now they appear to us as normal. As you know, there have been several changes in the food industry. One of the most important chains is Taco Bell. Is it really safe to eat and spend our time in these places nowadays? Let’s find out together.
Taco Bell is one of the most popular restaurant chains in our nation.Observing what was happening in the rest of the world, Taco Bell was among the first chains to make sure it had proper protocols to keep employees and consumers safe. In an interview with Mark King, CEO Taco Bell recently added a comprehensive list of new measures to fulfill that safety demand.

In every Taco Bell restaurant both in urban restaurants and in drive-thru’s, it was decided to open only for takeout. Here is what the security protocol set up by the Taco Bell chain provides-

- Payments are made without any contact. For payment by card, the cashier will keep the POS outside the window to allow the customer to use his card. No pin or signature will be required to guarantee no contact. In any case, the POS is disinfected after each transaction. If you pay in contacts, the customer must leave the money on a special sanitized tray. To further reduce the contact, Taco Bell encourages you to place the order through the app.

- Orders are completely sealed once completed.
- At the beginning of each shift there is a temperature control before the employee can access or come into contact with anything related to the restaurant.
- Maximum cleaning of the premises for each point of contact with the customer.
