With the COVID-19 pandemic leading to the closing of many bars and restaurants
across the U.S. and elsewhere, the hospitality industry, along with the lives of
the workers within it, is changing in unprecedented ways. We’ve compiled the
most up-to-date information and resources available and will continue to update
this post as events unfold. If you would like to share information with us about
a relief fund or resource, please send us an email at contact@liquor.com. 






RESOURCES FOR BARS AND BARTENDERS

 * The USBG Bartender Emergency Assistance Program is offering grants to
   bartenders affected by the virus. You do not need to be a USBG member to
   apply. 
 * For those in the food service industry, the Restaurant Workers’ Community
   Foundation COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund will offer grants to individual
   workers affected by the virus and zero-interest loans to businesses. 
 * Also for food service industry workers, One Fair Wage has launched an
   Emergency Fund to provide immediate assistance to restaurant employees.
 * Another Round Another Rally offers $500 relief grants for hospitality workers
   who lost their jobs or had their hours cut because of the virus.
 * The Restaurant Strong Fund from Samuel Adams and The Greg Hill Foundation
   offers grants to restaurant workers affected by the virus.
 * Tobin Ellis' Hospitality Relief Dashboard rounds up hundreds of resources for
   hospitality professionals.
 * CORE offers assistance to service industry workers who have tested positive
   for COVID-19 and have a child living in their home.
   
 * The Seattle Hospitality Emergency Fund will assist service industry workers
   in the Seattle area who have been laid off or had their hours cut because of
   the virus.
 * The Southern Smoke Foundation in Texas is offering emergency aid for food and
   beverage industry workers in crisis.
 * Rye on Market, in Louisville, Ky., is offering "family meals" for pick-up for
   restaurant workers who've lost work because of the virus.
 * Hook Hall, a tavern in Washington, D.C., has established Hook Hall Helps,
   offering “family meals” and distributing care kits filled with essentials for
   D.C.-area hospitality workers.
 * The Warren Bar and Burrow in Pittsburgh will be offering 100 free meals a day
   to service industry workers who are out of work because of the virus.
 * The Giving Kitchen offers assistance grants for Georgia food industry workers
   with documented illness (including COVID-19) or other significant hardships.
 * Many workers may qualify for unemployment benefits. Check your information by
   state.
 * The NYC Employee Retention Grant Program will provide aid to small businesses
   located in the five boroughs of New York City that employ fewer than five
   people and have experienced at least a 25% decrease in revenue because of the
   virus. Eligible businesses will receive a grant covering up to 40% of their
   payroll for two months, up to $27,000 total.
   
 * The Facebook Small Business Grants Program is offering $100 million in cash
   grants and ad credits for up to 30,000 eligible small businesses. Facebook
   says details will be available soon.
 * Beverage Trade Network is asking industry business owners to complete a
   survey about business plans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who complete
   the survey will receive a report about the results.




HOW TO HELP

Please contact your local lawmakers to impress upon them the need to take
immediate action to help the hospitality industry. Possibilities include
postponing taxes due, such as the New York State sales tax that’s due at the end
of this week, relaxing any off-premise sale or delivery laws, straight-up
bailouts and other measures. 



If you’re unaffected by the crisis and have a reliable income, please consider
donating to one of the following causes that promise to provide assistance to
industry folks who need it.


 * USBG National Charity Foundation COVID-19 Relief Campaign 
 * Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund 
 * One Fair Wage Emergency Fund 
 * Another Round Another Rally
 * Restaurant Strong Fund
 * The James Beard Foundation Food and Beverage Industry Relief Fund
 * Hospitality Relief Dashboard rounds up relief funds
 * A constantly updated list of GoFundMes for service workers, organized by area
 * A spreadsheet of GoFundMes for restaurant and bar employees, organized by
   Michael Toscano
 * Seattle Hospitality Emergency Fund
 * Charlottesville Restaurant Community Fund offers grants of $200 to restaurant
   industry workers needing assistance.
 * #ATLFAMILYMEAL is a community of Atlanta-area food and beverage workers and
   business owners aiming to help feed, nurture and support Atlanta-industry
   hospitality workers affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
 * New Orleans Bartender Tip Party lists Venmo accounts of New Orleans-area
   bartenders.
 * Cocktail Kingdom launched a Branded Bar T-Shirt Fundraising Campaign for more
   than 30 participating cocktail bars around the U.S.; all proceeds from the
   t-shirts purchased go directly to the individual bar and its staff.
   



You can also support your local bars and restaurants by ordering takeout or
delivery, if they offer it. (Remember to tip the delivery workers well.) You can
also help keep them going by purchasing merchandise such as T-shirts or totes or
buying gift certificates to spend once the immediate crisis has passed; many
restaurants are participating in the Dining Bonds program, offering gift
certificates that are sold at a suggested price of 25% less than face value, but
redeemable at face value upon dining at the restaurant (which is to say, you can
purchase a $100 gift certificate for just $75).
