The economies of the countries in the world, including Indonesia, have become very bad because of the Covid-19 pandemic that has engulfed the whole world. Almost all sectors can be said to be paralyzed, based on a release from the Central Statistics Agency, the number of foreign tourists coming to Indonesia in the first quarter of 2020 also dropped dramatically to only 2.61 million visits, a decrease of 34.9 percent when compared to last year. This is in line with the inter-country flight ban that began in mid March. The absence of activity for 3 months since mid-March there is still a service service business that still exists by making adjustments based on the new normal era.Service is an important aspect of determining the success of an organization engaged in services, the better the services provided, the higher the likelihood that the organization will continue. Good services are services that are expected to be the same as perceived services, so that later it will have a positive impact on the company (Noer, Ciptomulyono, & Sudarso, 2014). Services have characteristics such as intangibility, heteroginity, and simultaneous which make the design process complex and variation in services become inevitable (Ray & Chawla, 2016). Another important aspect of the service is how the service can be delivered well by the company to consumers (Arshad & Su, 2015).

New normal is a change in behavior to keep running normal activities through scenarios to accelerate the handling of Covid-19 from the health and socio-economic aspects. Thus the public is allowed to return to their activities by following the health protocol before the vaccine is actually found. Dnia health organization (WHO) has established several criteria to be able to carry out new normal that is not increasing transmission and the health system to respond to co-19 services

 

In a pandemic such as now, to be able to continue to exist, companies need to make improvements in service services. The most important thing is to make a health protocol, which is every employee must use a mask, gloves, and also a face shield. For each customer who arrives it is mandatory to wear a mask and wash hands with running water or hand sanitizer that has been provided, in addition to the incoming vehicle is also sprayed with a disinfectant to maintain the stability of the vehicle when entering the service area. For customers who are waiting are given a distance of 1 meter between customers. Officers who receive payments are also required to wear masks, face shields, and gloves. To prevent the booming of customers, a reservation system can be provided so as to avoid crowds because they are queuing up for service.

By making the health protocol, consumers do not hesitate or worry anymore in doing service, so that the company still exists even in the co-19 pandemic.
