Wawa Providing Full Service Coffee Instead Of Self Serve
The news around the COVID-19 outbreak is constantly changing, but information about food safety and how to keep yourself healthy is crucial right now. Here is a comprehensive list on the foods you should be stocking up on during this period of social distancing, as well as information about your local grocery stores’ changing hours, an explanation of “no-contact delivery,” and a guide on how to help your community and its businesses throughout closures.
Wawa is suspending all of its self-serve beverage stations for the time being due to health concerns. This also includes food stations like roller grills and bakery cases.
Food and drinks will still be available for purchase, but will now have a full-service model so employees are fulfilling orders rather than customers. The chain is also using mobile and online ordering to help customers get their goods in a timely manner.
The company is staying up-to-date on the progressing COVID-19 pandemic, and are being vigilant about keeping their customers and employees safe and aware of their new procedures. For example, 24-hour Wawa stores will now be closed from 2 a.m. to 3 a.m. so the entire facility can be deep cleaned. The company has also said they are providing hourly wage workers with a pay increase for their help during this busy time.
Wawa is among the various stores that are functioning differently than normal as a way to try and keep customers and employees safe and healthy. Dunkin’ removed tables and chairs from their locations as they work on a to-go only model and most chains are fulfilling takeout or drive-thru orders only.
For the time being, products and services like coffee bars, drink fountains, salad bars, bakery cases, roller grills, nacho machines, and condiment bars will only be used by employees while they fulfill orders. Nonetheless, you can still get your morning cup or your go-to Wawa snack by ordering via the mobile Wawa app.
