While in-person dining has been shuttered across the country for the indefinite future, restaurants have turned to delivery, curbside pickup and takeout only.

As a result, the demand for items like tamper-proof stickers, which were already gaining popularity, have exploded. The stickers are designed to offer guests peace-of-mind that their meal has not been touched by delivery drivers.

Some restaurants have added other layers of protection between the food and the consumer, such as vacuum-sealed bags around the food.

Even after the pandemic is over and restaurant dining rooms can reopen, many in the industry predict consumers will demand an enhanced level of food safety. Operators are expecting they will need to continue to convey stricter sanitation protocols.

In bathrooms, for example, expect to see demand for touchless fixtures to encourage more careful hand washing.

Here are five products to help improve cleanliness of your restaurant and restroom during the coronavirus crisis and beyond.
