ONE YEAR AGO: The @SBAgov Restaurant Revitalization Fund application opened.

NOW: Nearly 200K independent restaurants are still waiting for Congress to finish the job and refill the fund. #ReplenishRRF

[Independent Restaurant Coalition @IndpRestaurants]

The pandemic isn’t over for restaurants. Save our industry and #SaveRestaurants.

[Chef Betty Fraser @ChefBettyFraser]

The Restaurant Revitalization Fund was a great program, but severly underfunded. The original co sponsors of the bill knew that. The opportunity is there to finish the job and #replenishRRF. YOU have the power to save an industry. @JohnCornyn @robportman @DanSullivan_AK

[Rep. Dean Phillips 🇺🇸 @RepDeanPhillips]

Republicans appropriately argue that government should never pick winners & losers. But the underfunded #RRF did just that. I’ve advised the White House and Speaker Pelosi this is my highest priority, and I will not rest until we pass a “make good” measure. @IndpRestaurants

@kennethaz GCM revenue was down significantly for 2yr due to covid restrictions. Limited summer ops and no winter ops. No donor events. As we all know costs are up.
GCM is not only a farmers market. Market ops + donations fund many other programs such as food access + education.

The State of the Union for restaurants is not strong. @POTUS and Congress must make restaurant relief a top priority and refill the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. #ReplenishRRF #SOTU2022

[National Restaurant Association @WeRRestaurants]

Join us for today’s #HelpHospitality Day of Action as we urge Congress to #ReplenishRRF.

46% of restaurants who did not receive the grant said it is unlikely they will be able to stay in business beyond the pandemic. Take action here: https://t.co/nfWATYYzve

[Independent Restaurant Coalition @IndpRestaurants]

The Biden administration hasn’t yet expressed support for replenishing the RRF, so we’re asking you to join our open letter urging the @WhiteHouse to make restaurant relief a top priority.

I’ve been involved in the hospitality industry for many years, both as an investor and operator.

It’s never been as bad as this.

Here’s what’s happening to restaurants you love.

Hey all - I’m offering small businesses free support for any lease issues. I’m a licensed real estate broker with extensive commercial lease experience. I want to make sure the small businesses that are the heart and soul of our neighborhoods survive this turmoil.

[Independent Restaurant Coalition @IndpRestaurants]

Independent restaurants directly employ millions of Americans and contribute $1 trillion to the economy every year.

We need Congress to provide restaurant-specific relief & make urgent changes to the PPP.

Tell your reps to act NOW: https://t.co/lZlVuvw2sH

Friends, read this & read the link. Then quit using Grubhub to order from independent restaurants FOREVER. Please. https://t.co/ETeUhCE8Vi

Thankfully, and because of how greedy third party app delivery services are (charging in some cases 40% commissions to small businesses for what they call “maximum exposure,”) people are taking notice. Please support small businesses, not giant third party apps.

[Chicago Bars @chicagobars]

So today, with your help my job is begging @GovPritzker to expand the 60 day sales tax assistance program to all liquor licensed businesses in Chicago and Cook County.

Please call and email your state and city elected officials and tell them every place needs this state help.

If you work in restaurants or care at all about the hard working individuals in the industry:

please call your Representative and your Senators. You can be connected to the capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121

Demand that we are part the federal stimulus plan

How can you give bars or restaurants a 20%-30% bump on your carry out orders? Try and call them direct to order your food and save them delivery app commissions.
