The restaurant industry has been among the hardest-hit sectors during the economic downturn stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the Georgia Restaurant Association, the industry has suffered more than $250 billion in losses and the closing of more than 110,000 restaurants – 4,000 of which are in Georgia. To help bring jobs back and revive the industry, the American Rescue Plan established the $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund grant program at the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

The RRF will provide restaurants with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location. The minimum award amount is $1,000. SBA will specifically set aside $5 billion for food businesses earning not more than $500,000 per year; $4 billion to mid-sized venues taking in $501,000 to $1.5 million annually; and $500 million to establishments making under $50,000.

Here are the top things to know about the Restaurant Revitalization Fund: 

What type of entities are eligible?

  • Restaurants, food trucks, food stands, food carts, caterers, bars, lounges, taverns, inns, bakeries, brewpubs, breweries, microbreweries, wineries and distillers are eligible.

  • Franchisees that meet all program requirements are also eligible and must be listed onthe SBA Franchise Directory.

What can the funds be used for?

  • Eligible entities who receive the RRF grant may use the funds for specific expenses such as payroll costs, mortgage payments, rent payments, utilities, maintenance, supplies, food and beverage expenses, operating expenses, and construction of outdoor seating.
