Superior California Economic Development updated their business hours.

Check out this great opportunity from the California Restaurant Foundation!

Here's a heads up for all restauranteurs!
Restaurants Care is once to once again partnering with SoCalGas, PG&E, SDG&E to offer $3,000 grants to independent restaurants at the heart of our communities.

The Restaurants Care Resilience Fund is accepting applications from April 15-30, 2022. Grant recipients can use the money for equipment upgrades to alleviate deferred maintenance and for employee retention to help with industry-wide staffing challenges. Small restaurants continue to be impacted by the last two years of debt and losses incurred amid rising costs.

Grants are available to California resident restaurant owners with fewer than three units and less than $3 million in revenue. Since the PG&E Corporation Foundation is contributing $500,000 to the fund, that portion of the grant funding will prioritize minority- and women-owned businesses in PG&E’s service area in Northern and Central California, but any restaurant owner can apply.

Restaurants Care was created in 2017 as a safety-net program of the California Restaurants Foundation to help the servers, cooks, and dishwashers at the heart of restaurants.
