Restaurants that wish to increase to 50% will need to complete self-certification documents and become part of the Open & Certified Pennsylvania database.
Once the site is up and running, state officials said in a press release "consumers will be able to access this database and find certified businesses in their area, ensuring that consumers can make more informed choices about the food establishments they are looking to patronize."
The self-certification documents and information about the Open & Certified Pennsylvania program can be found online starting September 21.
Officials said restaurants looking to reopen to 50% indoor capacity must complete the online self-certification process by October 5.
Social distancing, masking and other mitigation measures must remain in effect.
State officials said, starting September 21, restaurants that have alcohol sales will need to stop selling alcohol at 10 p.m. each night.
Restaurants that self-certify will be mailed Open & Certified Pennsylvania branded materials, such as window clings and other signage designating their certification, which they can display for customers and employees.
Officials said, starting on October 5, the Department of Agriculture and Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, along with the departments of State, Labor & Industry and Health, and other enforcement agencies will check the restaurants' self-certification status as part of ongoing enforcement.
When southeastern Pennsylvania moved into the green phase in June, Philadelphia remained a modified green phase where indoor dining was still not permitted. It remains to be seen if Philadelphia will follow the governor's guidance and allow 50% indoor occupancy come September 21.
