The restaurant will have a special focus on smoked roast beef and is billed as space with 'American food with Irish hospitality.'

Restaurant Revitalization Fund

The recently passed COVID-19 relief bill, The American Rescue Plan Act, provides $28.6 billion for the hard-hit industry through a Restaurant Revitalization Fund. The bill calls for grants equal to the amount of restaurants’ revenue losses, up to a maximum of $10 million per company and $5 million per location. Eligible companies cannot own more than 20 locations, and they can’t be publicly traded. The bill sets aside $5 billion for the smallest restaurants, those whose annual revenue is $500,000 or less. The Small Business Administration will begin to post information and guidance on the application process this spring. SBA’s current relief efforts can be found at www.sba.gov/coronavirusrelief, and more details about these program updates and new efforts the SBA will administer in the coming weeks.
