COVID-19 Operations at RJ Cinema


At RJ Cinema Distillery & Taproom, we have always been all about quality first. Our approach to the Coronavirus crisis also comes with quality in mind, but in this case, safety is our first priority.  When you’re ready to come to drinks/dinner or a movie, we’ll be ready to provide quality entertainment to you and your family – safely.


Here is what we’ll be doing to make your visit as safe as possible:

• REMAIN AT HOME IF YOU ARE SICK: If you’re not feeling well, even a little, stay home. We’ll be here when you’re feeling better.
• EMPLOYEES SCREENED DAILY. All team members are screened for temperature and are required to give a verbal confirmation that they are not sick and have not been in close contact with anyone experiencing signs of sickness.
• HAND WASHING: All team members must properly and frequently wash their hands at a minimum of once every hour. We ask that each of our guests frequently and thoroughly wash their hands as well.
• DISINFECT HIGH-CONTACT SURFACES: High-contact surfaces (door handles, counter tops, faucets, kiosks, railings, etc.) are wiped down with a sanitizing agent throughout the day.
• CLEANING THEATERS BETWEEN SHOWS. Our team sanitizes and wipes down each seat, table, arm rest and facing seat back between each show.
• CLEANING THEATERS AFTER THE LAST SHOW OF THE DAY. We maintain nightly deep cleaning of all auditoriums, bathrooms and high-traffic areas.
• KEEPING DOORS OPEN. Doors will be propped open whenever possible/practical to allow for contactless entry and exit, as well as fresh air.
• SAFE SOCIAL-DISTANCING: All team members and guests are reminded to practice appropriate physical distancing as recommended by the CDC and local health authorities.
• WEAR PROPER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: All employees wear the appropriate protective equipment to adhere to CDC recommended standards. Note that kitchen workers will continue to wear gloves when preparing food, as always, but those around flames or hot cooking areas will NOT be wearing a mask, and those behind protective plexiglass screens may not be wearing masks so that they can communicate with guests more effectively.
• FACE COVERINGS: Face coverings are required when not eating or drinking, and always when not seated.  Face coverings are also required while watching movies, except when enjoying your food and drink in your seats.


Movies – added Safety Procedures

• Tickets purchased in advance online may be printed at our kiosks.
• All seating is reserved seating, and follows all current social distancing protocols. Every other row in our theaters has been roped off to ensure no one is in the row behind or in front of you.  Families may sit together, but our seat reservation system will ensure 2 empty seats between parties.
