MONROVIA, Calif. (KABC) Monrovia is on a mission to save local restaurants struggling during the coronavirus pandemic.
The city is offering a $10 coupon to customers ordering takeout to help out local eateries. Restaurants that participate will be reimbursed for the coupon discount - not by the city, but by other businesses.
The pandemic has been taking a heavy toll on local restaurants. Waiters depend on tips, said local restaurant owner Tony Vanuelos. They re not getting anything.
The city s chamber of commerce has been trying to change that with Save Our Restaurants. The program offers $10 coupons on orders of $30 or more.
