TOKYO TOKYO expects to inoculate 100 percent of its employees before the year ends following the successful roll-out of its vaccination program last July 23.
The initial batch of the Japanese restaurant chain’s frontline staff, elderly employees, and those with comorbidities received their COVID-19 vaccine shots from July 23 to 27 at its restaurant support center with the help of certified medical teams.
The next vaccination phase is expected toward the end of August, with the country’s leading Japanese restaurant chain planning to set up inoculation hubs in different regions for its provincial team members.
Natalie Perez, general manager at Tokyo Tokyo, said the emergence of deadlier and more transmissible new COVID-19 variants shows the need to hasten the multi-sector vaccination program to speed up herd immunity and economic recovery.
As a responsible player in the food industry, “we stand ready to grab every opportunity to safeguard the health of our employees and customers through vaccination and safety protocols,” she noted.
“Our vaccination program covers our frontliners to ensure the safety of the whole restaurant chain,” Perez pointed out.
The Japanese restaurant chain has likewise provided a series of orientation programs and regular communication to employees on the advantages of getting vaccinated months before the vaccination roll-out.
For safety, it has ensured that its team members were trained on COVID-19 best practices and sanitation in-store as well as contactless payment solutions.
Its #STAYSAFE campaign featured the steps it took to ensure that every step the customers take is made safer.
In addition to the delivery hotline, #86596, the Japanese restaurant chain launched its own online delivery website, www.tokyotokyodelivery.ph, so more customers can conveniently enjoy favorite Japanese Bento meals from the safety of their homes.
Customers can also place orders for pick up through the new website. They can easily pay via credit card whether delivery or pick-up for a contactless experience.
