Author: Tripleseat March 19, 2021 Duration: 34:42

In this week's episode, Kate and Rachel break down the various parts of the Restaurant Relief Fund. If you listened last week to Episode 40, you heard our awesome conversation with Andrew Rigie of the New York City Hospitality Alliance where we discussed the Restaurant Relief Fund, but now we are breaking it down even more. This fund is part of the 1.9 trillion dollar American Rescue Plan that includes 28.6 billion dollars worth of grants for restaurants to spend on various needs. The fund includes a lot of details about the specific ways the grant money can be spent, when it can be spent, who gets what exactly, and so on. Take a listen to hear all of this and the other actions that need to be taken to help rebuild the hospitality industry moving forward.
