Earlier this month ThinkFoodGroup restaurants in the D.C. region require proof of vaccination to dine indoors for people who are 12 and older.
This includes Spanish Diner, which opened in Bethesda this past May in the location that was formerly home to Jaleo.
According to Washington City Paper, “Andrés says, “protecting our team is the main goal.” A message on each restaurant’s webpage reads: “ThinkFoodGroup requires all staff and guests over 12 years of age who are dining indoors to be fully vaccinated.”
The article states that “customers who are 12 and older can show their vaccine card, a photo of their card, a government-provided digital record, or Health Pass by CLEAR, according to ThinkFoodGroup representatives.”
