Storm Wipha<\/strong> is showing signs of gradually moving from Quang Ninh toward Nghe An<\/strong>. At this time, F&B business owners should urgently implement preventive measures to protect their stores, assets, and ensure overall safety.<\/p>\n

Especially for coastal-area establishments<\/strong>, owners may consider temporarily suspending operations during periods of severe storms<\/strong> to ensure the safety of both customers and staff.<\/p>\n

For F&B outlets in areas less directly affected, operations may continue. However, it is essential to ensure the following measures are in place to operate safely and avoid unfortunate consequences.<\/p>\n

1. Inspect and Reinforce Facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.1. Main Doors and Glass Doors<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Inspect all main doors, windows, and especially glass doors. If any door shows signs of instability, use plywood approximately 1.5 cm thick<\/strong> to shield the glass from the outside, or reinforce the door frame with wooden or metal bars.<\/p>\n

For glass doors and windows, apply protective tape in an \u201cX,\u201d diamond, or rectangular pattern<\/strong> across the glass surface. This helps reduce wind pressure and limits glass shattering into sharp fragments in the event of impact.<\/p>\n

\"Kinh<\/p>\n

Check and replace rubber seals or apply additional silicone sealant to tightly close gaps between glass and frames, preventing rainwater from seeping inside.<\/p>\n

1.2. Drainage System<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Ensure that all drainage systems are thoroughly cleaned to prevent blockages and water buildup during heavy rainfall or flooding.<\/p>\n

\"Kinh<\/p>\n

2. Properly Shut Down Electricity and Gas<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

In the event of severe storms or flooding, immediately turn off the main power supply<\/strong> and unplug all electrical devices. For equipment such as POS machines, computers, coffee or tea machines, once unplugged, store them in dry areas or seal them in waterproof bags.<\/p>\n

\"Kinh<\/p>\n

For restaurants using gas stoves<\/strong>, make sure to shut off the main gas valve<\/strong> and inspect gas lines for cracks or leaks.<\/p>\n

3. Inventory and Goods Protection<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

When storm or flood warnings are issued, protecting raw materials and inventory becomes a top priority to minimize spoilage and loss. Move dry goods, ingredients, and supplies to higher shelves or upper floors. Prioritize using plastic containers<\/strong> instead of cardboard boxes, which are easily damaged by water.<\/p>\n

Try to use up perishable items such as fresh vegetables, meat, fish, and seafood as much as possible. Owners may consider running short-term promotions<\/strong> to accelerate consumption.<\/p>\n

\"Kinh<\/p>\n

For items requiring refrigeration, prepare backup solutions in case of power outages. Options include dry ice, thermal bags, or insulated containers to temporarily preserve food stored in refrigerators or freezers.<\/p>\n

4. Prepare Essential Supplies<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Restaurant owners should prepare the following essential items to handle emergency situations, maintain communication, and facilitate post-storm cleanup:<\/p>\n

\"Kinh<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Emergency kit:<\/strong> Flashlights, spare batteries, first-aid supplies (bandages, antiseptics, pain relievers, etc.).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • Waterproof bags:<\/strong> To protect important documents such as business licenses, contracts, permits, cash, and personal electronic devices like mobile phones and power banks.<\/li>\n
  • Sandbags:<\/strong> To block doorways and windows, preventing floodwater from entering the premises\u2014especially in low-lying areas.<\/li>\n
  • Communication devices:<\/strong> Ensure mobile phones and power banks are fully charged. In prolonged power outages, these may be the only means of staying connected and receiving updates.<\/li>\n
  • Cleaning tools:<\/strong> Shovels, brooms, and cleaning equipment will help speed up the removal of mud, debris, and standing water after the storm passes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    5. Information Updates & Staff Coordination<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Restaurant owners should use communication channels such as Zalo Official Accounts or Fanpages<\/strong> to clearly announce opening or closure schedules, while also sharing any operational challenges the business is facing.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, provide safety warnings and information about unsafe travel routes<\/strong>. This not only helps customers plan ahead but also demonstrates professionalism and care.<\/p>\n

    From a staffing perspective, owners should create an internal group to update storm conditions and store status. Assign 1\u20132 staff members<\/strong> to monitor the premises during the storm if conditions allow.<\/p>\n

    6. Conclusion: Proactive Storm Preparedness and Swift Recovery<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

    F&B owners should proactively implement storm-prevention measures and strictly follow guidance and recommendations from local authorities to minimize potential damage and risks.<\/p>\n

    iPOS.vn hopes these recommendations will help restaurants, eateries, and caf\u00e9s stay safe and recover quickly during the storm season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
