DoorDash awards $5,000 grants to 32 Cincinnati restaurants
Restaurant delivery service DoorDash has awarded $5,000 grants to 32 Cincinnati restaurants to help offset costs of running a restaurant amid a global pandemic.
The grant program is part of DoorDash’s $200 million, five-year Main Street Strong pledge, which includes a $10 million initiative to help restaurants in cities in the United States and Canada.
DoorDash announced the grant recipients on March 4, awarding $5,000 to each restaurant to help cover rent, payroll, expanding outdoor dining or purchase personal protective equipment.
Eligible restaurants in Cincinnati must have three or fewer stores currently operating and employ 50 people or less per store. The restaurants also must have made $3 million or less in annual revenue per store in 2019.
