Detailed Description

As a community built on care, Rochester is prepared to help keep us safe. Rochester Ready’s safety program will guide our hospitality industry on how best support the safety of our guests and our workforce. The program – Rochester Ready Safe - includes a pledge that restaurants, retailers and lodging establishments are taking to ensure that every visitor will know measures are in place to lessen the risk of COVID-19 transmission. The pledge includes:

  • Physical distancing
  • Employees report COVID-19 symptoms and stay home when ill
  • All employees are required to wear nonmedical (cloth) face coverings and use other hygiene and respiratory droplet controls
  • Guests are encouraged to wear nonmedical (cloth) face coverings
  • Cleaning and sanitizing
  • Building and ventilation controls
  • Working with Olmsted County Public Health when guests or employees become ill
  • Other controls specific to industry (lodging, restaurant, retail)


Rochester’s business community is ready to welcome guests into our City. We thank you, our fellow community partners, for your commitment to this initiative.

The pledge is an extension of our community’s commitment to care. Take the Rochester Ready pledge today!

About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
