Tallboy Taco® | A Casual Taqueria | Lettuce Entertain You

Posted on June, 4 2020.

We haven’t said a lot these past few days. We stand unequivocally with Black Americans and the tens of thousands of people of conscience demanding that we live up to our values as a nation. But it is the voices of those who have suffered the injuries of systemic racism that must be heard right now. We are listening intently. As we face the indisputable truth that we can do better, we reflect on how we can best drive meaningful change within our own organization and communities.

We are starting with a thorough review of our corporate giving strategies to ensure that we are focused on efforts to eliminate social injustice and improve lives in Black communities and communities of People of Color. We are making an immediate contribution to the NAACP LDF. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, LDF seeks structural changes to expand democracy, eliminate disparities, and achieve racial justice in a society that fulfills the promise of equality for all Americans.

We know that actions speak louder than words and that we have a lot of work to do. It's a start. We pledge to move with deliberate speed and look forward to reporting back to you on our efforts.

R.J. Melman
President

At Lettuce Entertain You, the health and safety of our guests and employees has always been at the core of everything we do. Since our beginning in 1971, Rich Melman understood the importance of a safe and welcoming environment and the role it played in the success of a restaurant. Throughout the years, Lettuce has built a solid foundation of health and safety practices. Because of this foundation, our guests are able to relax and experience great food in a comfortable environment, and our employees can come to work and feel supported and secure.

Many would see this new world as a challenge. We, at Lettuce, look at it as an opportunity to bring our employees together, stronger than ever in their commitment to the health and safety standards in our restaurants. We also see a stronger relationship with our guests; those who are new to our restaurants, and those have grown up with Lettuce Entertain You. Our employees and our guests have come to trust Lettuce Entertain You restaurants for our commitment to excellence.

We are not starting over. We have always been here, ready to provide our guests with a dining experience they can trust, and our employees with a workplace they can be proud of. We are ready to welcome our guests with the same level of service, food quality and atmosphere that they have always enjoyed.

As we put into place our new health and safety guidelines, we realize that we are living in a time of great change. Our ability to accept change will move us forward. We are closely monitoring Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Model Food Code, government mandates, government policy changes, and public health advancements. We will continue to make changes as necessary or appropriate to our procedures and protocols.

As we look ahead, we are excited about moving forward, together.
