Congress created the Restaurant Revitalization Fund in March 2021, making $28.6 billion available. But lawmakers knew that wasn't going to be enough.
When you look at national metrics, like restaurant sales and the number of food and beverage employees, on paper, it looks like restaurants have rebounded. But after two years of long-term closures, takeout-only rules and capacity limits, business owners say it's going to take years to feel whole again.
Leeds is the founder of Hank's Oyster Bar, with three locations around Washington DC. And she's one of the countless restaurateurs hoping Congress can give her industry another helping hand. "We received grants, and we received multiple small grants through DC government. And we applied for RRF for three of the restaurants and we were approved for all three and we only received one," said Leeds.
