KUALA LUMPUR: Food and beverage (F&B) outlets at the Curve here have reopened their doors to patrons with close to 100 per cent vaccinated staff.
The Curve is Malaysia's first pedestrianised shopping mall, featuring a wide range of popular dining and retail outlets.
Boustead Properties Bhd senior general manager, property management and investment Jazmi Kamarudin said with "the Street" being the heart and soul of the Curve, tenants were most excited to reopen fully and get back to serving the community.
Jazmi said F&B tenants especially understood the value and importance of having fully vaccinated staff and were taking strict safety precautions.
"Even as we work towards fully reopening the mall in time to come, we will continue protecting lives and livelihoods responsibly as we get through this pandemic together," he said in a statement.
After months of lockdown, the Street is abuzz with activity, with the outlets sweetening the dine-in experience with various offerings for those customers who are eager to reconnect with family and friends at their favourite dining spots.
Home for the past 17 years to a string of popular restaurants and eateries, the Street has been catering to Malaysians' every food passion, be it local or international, sweet or savoury.
While the contactless Touch 'n Go card was already a mode of payment at its carpark, the Curve now provides PayDirect, an e-Wallet feature for the Touch 'n Go card, for a safer and more convenient parking experience.
Jazmi said contactless amenities would contribute towards maintaining a safe environment for the public.
"It made sense for us to introduce PayDirect which limits unnecessary contact and keeps the Curve abreast with changing technology in this increasingly digital era we are living in.
"Such digital features are also very much in line with the Boustead Group's Reinventing Boustead strategy which emphasises the need to elevate our business through people-friendly technology innovation," he said.
