The Small Business Administration says it has received more than 186,000 applications for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which offers $28.6 billion to help restaurants keep their doors open.
South Florida Democrat Congresswoman Lois Frankel says the pandemic has done a number on those types of businesses. 10,000 restaurants have closed and over a million people have lost their jobs. In fact, one in four jobs lost in the United States is in the restaurant industry.
She held a webinar this week for folks in the industry, complete with representatives from the SBA to answer questions related to the fund.
