Restaurant Group’s CEO: Customers Will Have to Give Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination
The founder of Shake Shack said Thursday his Union Square Hospitality Group will require indoor diners and drinkers at its restaurants to show that they’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Employees will also have to get the vaccine, Danny Meyer said, although he didn’t say whether they would be fired or be forced to wear masks.
However, the policy will not be extended to Shake Shack, a hamburger fast-food restaurant that has a number of locations in the northeastern United States.
The policy will be implemented at the Union Square Hospitality Group, which oversees Gramercy Tavern, Manhattan, and Union Square Cafe. The group operates Anchovy Social in Washington, as well.
Meyer made the announcement about his restaurant’s vaccine policy on CNBC, saying the vaccine requirement is “the most logical thing I’ve ever seen.”
“I’m not a scientist, but I know how to read data, and what I see is that this is a crisis of people who have not been vaccinated, and I feel strong responsibility, on our part as business leaders, to take care of our team and our guests, and that’s what we’re doing,” said Meyer, who is chairman of Shake Shack’s board.
“We’re going to give our employees 45 days to make the choice and hopefully this will be the incentive that really makes them say, ‘You know what, now I’m going to do it.’”
Regarding Shake Shack’s policy, Meyer told CNBC that the fast-casual burger chain “will make the appropriate decision for them at the appropriate time.” – READ MORE
Keep your crappy food!
Is it really food?
He will be the one leading the meatless meat agenda as well.
CEO’s come and go!
As I read this I’m laughing. What a way to put yourself out of business.
Agreed!
Get Woke, Go Broke. Boycott Shake Shack.
Remember two years ago when we had immune systems? We actually still do. I never tasted their alleged crappie food and apparently, never will!
Fuck him and his overpriced, and high calorie crap food. Bye creep!
If he really wanted people to know about his stupid compulsory jab requirement he wouldnt have gone and announced it on CNBC. No one saw it.
He is getting his bag of silver, like Judas. As I said before, people have not lost enough yet.
Great never ate there and won’t bother too in future. These CEOs must be pretty stupid
I wonder how much taxpayer money he and that shitty company got to pimp the injections. Just when you thought you are nearing the bottom of this pile of shit, we sink another layer.
The covid doesn’t penetrate shake shack locations apparently.
I went out to eat and was stuck with a tv in front of me and had the olympics staring at me. The volleyball players on the court could not be affected nu covid but the subs on the sideline and the 3 people in the stands were in massive danger and had to be masked.
The stupidity of this world is unfathomable.
so smug
“I’m not a scientist, but I know how to read data” == I’d like to see this data he’s speaking about LOL. Tunnel vision perhaps? It sucks living the the info box that screens out everything that is true
