After struggling to get emergency capital early on in the pandemic, Black-owned restaurants that can no longer afford a traditional brick-and-mortar operation have found lifelines in food trucks, food halls and delivery or take-out-only operations.

But restaurateurs who can no longer afford a traditional brick-and-mortar operation have found a lifeline in the form of food trucks, food halls and ghost kitchens.Ghost kitchens are typically delivery or take-out-only operations that reduce overhead costs for restaurant owners. They have become immensely popular during the pandemic. Food halls offer a similar flexibility, renting out equipment and space to independent food service operators in a food-court-like setting.

So rather than go the traditional restaurant route, Brown signed a lease in a new Dayton-area food hall called West Social Tap & Table, which is scheduled to open in October.Food halls can help up-and-coming brands establish themselves before going all-in on expensive restaurant space and kitchen equipment, says Cheryl Dillin, corporate brand officer of DIllin LLC, the real estate developer behind West Tap & Social.

A lot of the businesses in that industry are in the same predicament regardless of race. Your stats are missing informative, but that's okay because CNN is democratic owned.

Too bad there is not a black owned restaurant in the area where I live, so that I could NOT ever go there.

So only black owned businesses were impacted? Damn that’s messed up that they were the only ones.

The pandemic also affected Asian-owned restaurants and Indian-owned restaurants and white-owned restaurants, in addition to black-owned restaurants. The pandemic was an equal opportunity nightmare.

Am I the only person in this country that doesn’t care what color skin someone has? If they have great food or a great product I’m there. I’ve never asked if the owner was white or black? I don’t get it!!

All restaurants matter

Why the 'Black-owned' theme instead of just restaurants.

Is it only black owned restaurants that struggled to get help ? I'm not sure that an entirely truthful viewpoint you're espousing

Not sure why a black owned restaurant would’ve disproportionately struggled to get a PPP loan. They were not exceedingly difficult to get. Maybe there’s a story there?
