What is “A New Normal”?

We have been closed for 7 weeks due to Covid-19 for the first time in more than 10 years. Therefore we have not been able to make any cakes or treats for all this time. We are now being told to get back to work if possible and the phrase being used is “A New Normal”.

Well, we have to ask the question what is “A New Normal”?

To get back up and running again we have had to pick our way through the many government guidelines. Namely, social distancing, face coverings, extra cleaning protocols and dividing screens to name just a few. Having reviewed the business and made some changes we are not able to turn the ovens on again.

It started for us with a separation screen for our counter to prevent face to face contact. However as Graham’s carpentry skill aren’t that good we asked JSO Carpentry to help us. As you can see they make a great job of it and it looks fantastic.

Contactless delivery was next, with the introduction of pre-payment and a small doorstep table. Meaning we set-up the table and cake on your doorstep then retreat giving space to pick up your cake in safety.

We can now say with confidence that we have done everything we can to create “a new normal”. Therefore keeping both our customers and our staff safe whilst complying with “Stay Alert, Control The Virus, Save Lives”

Looking scruffy after 7 weeks we all need haircuts, but no haircuts until at least July I hear you say. Loose hair needs a securing, time for another solution, The Regency Cakes bakery trilby.

Time to Start Work?

In food production hygiene is always of the highest importance, however we have also increased our cleaning routine. Hand washing, sanitiser gel and cleaning of work stations, door handles and customer areas have all been increased. Along with sanitiser gel being available to shop customers if money is being handled.

Final checks required to make sure we are ready to open, after being closed for 7 weeks. A good deep clean should do the trick. Then PPE ready – tick, hats ready – tick, customer safety ready – tick. Let’s go!
