Millennials Must Know! Forms of Cafe Services in the New Normal Era
Hello, folks!
The pandemic is not over yet, but the longing of people, especially millennials, to hang out and spend time at nearby cafes is at its peak. Many cafes have decided to temporarily close to handle the crisis experienced during the pandemic. However, don't worry just yet, as the closure of some cafes is indeed a significant step to find the best way to reopen in the future.
One of the best approaches that cafes have finally found and are ready to implement is by adopting new service formats that align with health protocols in the new normal. This is done to keep the cafe environment cleaner and more sterile, preventing the spread of COVID-19 that could occur when people, especially millennials, spend time in cafes.

Certainly, this new type of service is essential information for millennials, as it is uplifting news that addresses the yearning to hang out and socialize with friends. So, what are the forms of new services adopted by these cafes, known as the new normal services? Here's a breakdown of the information!
1. No Dine-in Service
Dining in at a cafe directly is a tradition that seems difficult to let go of because it's considered more practical and doesn't require waiting long to taste the prepared food. However, this tradition needs to be temporarily abandoned to curb the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, these cafes that will soon open are prepared to introduce and enforce a new service: no dine-in service, replaced by take-away service.
2. No Cash Payments
The second feature of cafes in the new normal era is not accepting payments via cash. This is because the COVID-19 virus can spread not only through sneezing or coughing but also through physical items like money.
3. Open Only from Lunchtime to Afternoon
Another service that cafes or eateries that want to remain open during this pandemic must implement is a new operating schedule, starting from lunchtime until the afternoon. So, for millennials who enjoy hanging out until midnight, for the time being, they can shift to hanging out during the daytime.
4. Only Offering Pickup Service at the Cafe's Perimeter
The last type of new normal service that cafes must adopt is by only offering pickup for food purchases at the cafe's perimeter. This is to minimize the spread of COVID-19.
Behind all the new normal services to be implemented, it's essential to remember that we all must wear masks wherever we go, including when visiting cafes. Additionally, practice social distancing, always keep a safe distance, and regularly wash hands either with hand sanitizer or under running water to keep hands clean and healthy.
Let's make the above practices a good tradition to prevent and break the chain of COVID-19 spread in Indonesia so that hanging out can be more enjoyable and unrestricted, just like in the good old days.
