What Our Customers Are Saying
Huge fan of Social Shields! My restaurant utilized them to practice social distancing in a restaurant setting. I was given the options to select finish and size, highly customizable!! These are very well made and quite honestly the best social distancing shield I have seen a restaurant use. Very lightweight which makes maneuvering and setting up the dining room easy for the team. Extremely lovely customer service too!
