The proposed Restaurant Beverage Program will build on the City’s efforts to provide relief, offering long-term financial incentives designed to support jobs and businesses in Los Angeles.

The program shortens the time required for City approvals from months to weeks, helping restaurant owners get up and running faster once safer-at-home orders are lifted. The proposal would also reduce the cost of an alcohol permit from approximately $13,000 to approximately $4,000. Eligible restaurant owners would still be subject to operational standards as well as mandatory monitoring and inspections to ensure compliance.

The Restaurants Care Resilience Fund provides cash grants of up to $3,500 and a year of support to small restaurants in 8 counties in California, with priority given to women and people of color. Regions were determined by funders. We’re looking to add more counties! If you’re interested in bringing this grant program to your county, please contact us.
Eligible counties: Alameda, Fresno, Kern, Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco or San Joaquin.
And we’re not stopping there. We’re also funding a safety-net for restaurant workers – the servers, cooks, and dishwashers at the heart of restaurants. To learn more about hardship grants for restaurant workers click here. https://restaurantscare.org/
