Shake Shack’s Atlanta Restaurants Temporarily Adopting To-Go Model As COVID-19 Evolves

Burger chain's dining rooms are closed indefinitely in The Shops at Buckhead Atlanta, Perimeter Mall, and Old Fourth Ward.

Shake Shack has shifted to a “to-go” only operating model in all of its U.S. company-owned restaurants as the COVID-19 situation continues to rapidly evolve, the company announced in a press release Monday morning.

The new to-go only policy is now in effect all Atlanta locations, including The Shops at Buckhead Atlanta, Perimeter Mall, and Old Fourth Ward on the Beltline.

An outpost slated to open later this year in Colony Square will hopefully open unscathed from the growing pandemic.

Guests will be able to place to-go orders in the restaurant, pre-order on shakeshack.com, the Shack App for pickup, or order for delivery through Grubhub and Seamless in all cities, as well as other providers such as Postmates, DoorDash, Caviar and UberEats in certain locales.

Out of concern for the well-being of its guests, team members, and community, dining rooms will be closed.

Shake Shack restaurants across the country may also be impacted by closures or reduced hours over the coming weeks.

“As we navigate this evolving situation, we’ll continue to act in the interest of the safety of our team and our guests,” Randy Garutti, Shake Shack’s CEO, said in a statement.

“We’re committed to doing our part as a company to play a proactive role in protecting our communities. When the time comes to re-open our dining rooms as the community gathering place we were born to be, our teams will be ready. Until then we are thankful for the privilege to serve our guests safely.”
