Assist the customer, complete an incident report and report it to your liability carrier.

The restaurant now has reason to know that the property has issues with regard to snow/ice accumulations. In addition to Jim's sound advice, the restaurant should have the issue evaluated and repaired promptly. This can be done without concern about "admitting" a problem. Under PA law a "subsequent remedial repair" is not admissible to prove negligence if a claim is filed.
