Jerusalem Shawarma is committed to maintaining the quality, cleanliness and social responsibility that have been the hallmark of our family-owned business.
A few weeks ago, Alberta Health Services conducted an investigation related to a seasonal illness and determined it was unrelated to our restaurant operations or the quality of our food. We would like to thank Alberta Health Services for their work and their recommendations on preventative measures, which have already been implemented to help do our part in protecting our city.
Jerusalem Shawarma now implements enhanced policies, with enhanced staff training and a new system to ensure compliance. Our new SIPP (Seasonal Illness Prevention Plan) has been put in place at all our restaurants. SIPP includes, but is not limited to:
- A new independent SIPP compliance officer to ensure compliance with the enhanced policy and training;
- Mandatory sick leave for all staff;
- An internal system to record and investigate any illness-related complaint, to ensure a swift response and preventative measures;
- Supplementary and further training for all staff on preventing the spread of illness.
During the past few weeks we have been operating at limited hours to ensure immediate compliance with our enhanced SIPP policy training. We have made immediate management personnel changes at our restaurants to demonstrate our commitment.
The SIPP policy has now been implemented throughout all our restaurants. We would like to thank our customers and Alberta Health Services for working with us during this period, anticipate business returning to normal, and wish everyone a merry Christmas.
