Studio Movie Grill (“SMG”) is excited to continue reopening theaters after a successful Phase 1.
“We are thrilled to have begun safely welcoming guests back to movies on the big screen at SMG Theaters,” Founder/CEO Brian Schultz shared. “If this past weekend in Texas is any indication, we are incredibly encouraged by attendance and guests indicating their strong desire to return to the theater,” said Schultz, “This is my life’s passion and family business. We are naturally anxious to emerge from this difficult time and provide an unparalleled experience that promises to be even better than before.”
Health and safety are unequivocally top priority. All touch points will meet or exceed current guidance from the CDC. Re-openings follow a comprehensive team member training program and addition of new procedures. Team members will be required to have a health check prior to starting work and to wear protective masks as well as gloves when preparing or handling food. Locations will operate at 50% capacity and have social distancing built into the ticket reservation systems. SMG has developed new technology to allow for automated, contactless purchasing and guests will be encouraged to buy their tickets and purchase food online using the SMG mobile app. Theaters will conduct stringent cleaning and sanitizing of auditoriums and high touch areas; and hand sanitizer stations have been installed throughout.
