Businesses with fewer than 5 employees are eligible for a grant to cover 40% of payroll costs for two months to help retain employees. You can learn more about these programs here.

NYC.gov’s Business Assistance Survey - tell the City how your restaurant is experiencing the crisis.
Rethink has set up a Restaurant Response Program to assist with food need and access during times of crisis. If you are a NYC based restaurant - you are eligible for the program. Rethink will select up to 30 restaurants for the program, and give those selected up to $40,000 to stay up and running.
Data and Statistics Relevant to the Crisis
60 percent of the jobs lost in March 2020 at the beginning of the crisis were restaurant employees.
New Unemployment Numbers Show NYC Has Lost Two-Thirds of Its Food Jobs. Food and drinking places shed at least 234,000 jobs during the shutdown in the five boroughs, or nearly half a million jobs throughout the state, according to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on June 19. Just 105,000 city hospitality staffers were still working in May, when the metropolitan area had not yet reached the first phase of reopening — up from 91,000 in April. That’s just a third of the jobs that were available in February. It’s also the lowest level of hospitality industry employment since before December of 1992, constituting a temporary erasure of nearly 30 years worth of jobs growth.
5 million to 7 million hospitality service workers will lose their jobs in the next three months, the National Restaurant Association predicts.
10% of U.S. Workforce are in Restaurants: We’re a huge community! The restaurant workforce constitutes 10% of the overall U.S. workforce, according to the National Restaurant Association. Nearly 6 in 10 adults have worked in the restaurant industry at some point during their lives. Restaurants employ more women managers and more minority managers than any other industry. Eight in 10 restaurant owners say their first job in the restaurant industry was in an entry-level job. There are a whole lot of people out there who understand just how tough this industry can be!
Only 14% Get Health Benefits: Just 14 percent of restaurant employees across the country receive health insurance benefits from their employers, meaning many rely on publicly funded resources for health care. (Economic Policy Institute)
1 in 6 Restaurant Workers Live in Poverty: PRIOR TO THE CRISIS, 16.7 percent of restaurant workers live below the official poverty line, and 43% live below twice the poverty line, the measure commonly used by researchers as a measure of what it takes for a family to make ends meet. (Economic Policy Institute, 2014)
2.45 Million U.S. Restaurant Workers Live in Poverty: There are 14.7 million workers in the restaurant industry in the United States. If one in six lives in poverty, that means nearly 2.45 million people are working in the restaurant industry and living in poverty. And that was PRIOR to the crisis.
1 in 5 Restaurant Workers Recently Worked While Seriously Sick: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported in 2014 that “one in five food service workers have reported working at least once in the previous year while sick with vomiting or diarrhea.” This was PRIOR to the crisis.
