San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced a plan for restaurants to offer outdoor dining service starting Friday, June 12.
Only food facilities that provide permitted sit-down meal service may re-open for outdoor dining.
Businesses will also soon be able to apply for the city’s Shared Spaces program, which will allow use of a portion of the sidewalk, parking lanes, streets, or other nearby public spaces like parks and plazas, for restaurant pickup and outdoor dining.
Before reopening for outdoor dining, restaurants will be asked to comply with new requirements, such as social distancing protocol, face covering requirements, and table limits to 6 customers each.
