To all our amazing friends and valued customers:

We are glad to see small businesses across Southern California reopen. As we turn our attention to reopening our dining room as COVID-19 restrictions are eased, we have one goal in mind, keeping our customers, employees and their families safe.

As we have said before, the Safety and health of our guests and staff is of the utmost importance. Over the last several months, as we continued our to-go, pickup and delivery service program, we increased the frequency of cleaning, sanitizing and disinfecting; used risk mitigations, including face coverings. In anticipation of in-person dining being allowed, we carefully examined our ability to implement effective social distancing measures while at the same time continuing our very popular pickup and delivery service.

Given the physical layout of Langer’s Deli, at this time, it is not possible to reduce face-to-face exposure that satisfies our requirements – requirements that go beyond Health Orders. We make no apology, our motto in the COVID-19 era is Safety First, and we will not reopen our dining room at this time until we have a plan that satisfies our Safety First pledge.

We are pleased to say that Langer’s will be continuing our to-go, pickup and delivery service program for the foreseeable future. We will reopen our dining room for sit-down service, but it will be done the right way following the best operational tenets to protect our employees and loyal customers.

We thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Norm and Jeannette Langer
