On June 23, 2020, the Palmetto Priority program launched. The Palmetto Priority is a formal commitment made by South Carolina restauranteurs to provide a clean and safe environment for their staff and customers, to demonstrate real precautions that they are taking to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Restaurants that choose to participate in the program will complete a checklist of operational assurances as outlined in the restaurant reopening guidelines, participate in required free online education and participate in a DHEC limited-scope food safety inspection.
