Pret-A-Manger
Helping protect those you care about most.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, reopening physical locations to customers with new restrictions was uncharted territory for an international eatery chain like Pret- A-Manger. Their need for Point-of-Sale (POS) shields to protect the health and safety of employees and customers alike was urgent. When they called upon North American Signs, we delivered on our promise to help our clients meet their goals by providing customized POS barrier solutions for Pret-A-Manger's locations across the country.
The Challenge:
Pret-A- Manger (US), a JAB Holding Company based in New York, was in the process of reopening restaurants as restrictions were lifted due to Covid-19. The restaurants implemented a number of social distancing measures to align with the advice from the CDC and local health authorities. An existing signage client, Pret-A-Manger was in need of safety shields that would adhere to these new safety regulations, and provide employee and customer safety. The stores' existing countertops required custom-designed shields in a 1-2 week timeframe to meet the reopening deadline.
The Solution:
Safety Shield, a subsidiary of North American Signs, presented Pret-A-Manger with multiple design solutions and collaborated with their parent company in the UK to provide a final product. The first order of safety shields was shipped in under week of product approval. Stores were reopened the following Monday, and employees were able to provide service to customers in a safe environment.
“North American Signs quickly responded to our request for custom size Sneeze Guards to fit our UK POS Counter models for all our shops in NYC, DC and Chicago. In less than 24 hours we got a shop drawing to review, and then we were installing them in our shops 7 days later. Great quality, service and easy to install.”
