The $1.9 trillion federal stimulus package includes $28.6 billion just for restaurants, but officials expect demand to far outweigh supply, leaving many businesses without a chance at aid.
The grants will be distributed via the Small Business Administration – which hasn’t announced the exact date of when the application period will start. But industry leaders expect it to be in mid-to-late April, and a flood of applications within minutes is likely.
