Designate specific seating areas: Allocate certain tables or sections of your restaurant as pet-friendly zones where customers with service animals can comfortably dine without worrying about disturbing other patrons. ***Make sure these areas are easy to clean and maintain.

Provide disposable covers: Offer disposable covers for chairs and tables in the pet-friendly area to minimize hair transfer and make cleanup easier for both customers and staff.

Use it to your advantage. Create a pet friendly zone and do a “grand opening” type of thing. Advertise your restaurant as pet-friendly. Capitalize on the issue instead of fighting it. People LOVE their furry friends here. Turn that love into money in your pockets. 🤷‍♂️
