Make Coffee Better

[Seattle Coffee Works @SeaCoffeeWorks]

It's been almost 2 years since covid started shuttering restaurants. Most restaurant workers and owners have been waiting over a year for promised relief. It's time to get this done. @POTUS #ReplenishRRF

[Independent Restaurant Coalition @IndpRestaurants]

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

Please take 3 minutes to sign @indprestaurant's open letter demanding action from the Biden administration to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. #ReplenishRRF https://t.co/eWs3E3KPr0

Thanks @AmyRadil for hearing Seattle Coffee Works and other #smallbusiness as we ask govt and residents to stand up for main streets with compassion and commitment. #MainStreets have been doubly beleaguered by two years of pandemic and violence... we need people to show up now!

In public safety press conference Mayor Harrell cites alarming new crime stats, says city won’t tolerate crimes that are disruptive and signal city is out of control. Points to recent arrests and other actions in Little Saigon neighborhood.

Courageous article from Will Gilson about the varied, contradictory, and seemingly never-ending challenges of running a restaurant during a pandemic. Thanks for reading! #ReplenishRRF #SaveRestaurants @IndpRestaurants

[Will Gilson @wdgilson]

Had a chance to pen some words for the @BostonGlobeMag about the hardships of running restaurants these past 2 years and what we need now.

We’re doing the best we can at restaurants, but it isn’t enough. We need help.

We had a blast hosting @byjacobward and the NBC News team at our roastery and talking about the challenges of shipping (*equitable, sustainable, direct trade*) green coffee this summer. See their video https://t.co/7K5s70AV14 via @nbcnews

Morgan Freeman says it well - 85% of independent restaurants are on the bring of closing forever. @indprestaurants https://t.co/TXf0mfOYgr

This sums up the current situation - #replenishRRF

[Independent Restaurant Coalition @IndpRestaurants]

We’re still fighting to get Congress to #ReplenishRRF and help struggling businesses everywhere. Take action and spread the word to customers by including these flyers alongside your takeout orders! https://t.co/NR3VwyX65c

“Besides having their hopes dashed and being completely devastated, there are people that are considering closing… And for them, it’s more than a job, it's their entire life. It's their home.”

Congress: finish the job and #ReplenishRRF

It's lovely to see people enjoying eating out once again! But the hard truth is, the restaurants that have managed to stay in business are really struggling. Almost 40% couldn't pay their rent in June, not to mention the 16 months of back rent they owe.

[Toast @ToastTab]

Our industry is 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 struggling.

Call your reps at 202-224-3121 and urge them to support the Restaurant Revitalization Replenishment Act to #ReplenishRRF as soon as possible.

Exactly! Time is running out to refill this vital fund. Tell Congress to replenish the fund before they go on their August break. https://t.co/ymhkQETz2o

We know what you’re thinking: the packed tables and raucous patios must mean restaurants are back to normal.

They aren’t.

A few weeks of capacity dining can’t erase 15 months of lost revenue.

About 90K bars + restaurants have closed so far, with more shutting down every day.

[James Beard Foundation @beardfoundation]

Congress must pass the Restaurant Revitalization Fund Replenishment Act which would add $60B to the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. Help your favorite restaurants survive by filling out this easy form from @IndpRestaurants. https://t.co/5GTuaDpvVN

@RepJayapal @PattyMurray @SenatorCantwell Please replenish the RRF and distribute the money NOW. (6/6)

The airline industry got 90B in government aid - restaurants got less than a third of that. Aviation employs 11.3M people. Restaurants employ 15.1M. (5/6)

[Seattle Coffee Works @SeaCoffeeWorks]

as hospitality professionals, we may look fine on the surface, but we and our restaurants are about to really start breaking down. Please don't mistake our smiles to mean that things are ok. They are not. (4/6)
