-The popular San Luis Obispo Popolo Catering has taken all of the necessary steps to ensure safe food service. The catering company has been providing curbside service and meal delivery in response to COVID-19 dining restrictions since March of this year.
“Our commitment to our customers means double-checking all of our food service processes and making sure all of our procedures, kitchen and staff is up to the highest standards,” said co-owner Kat Castillo. “Qualifying for ServSafe certifications mean we have been able to take our entire staff, facility and food preparation and service standards to an even higher level.”
