The legislation comes on the heels of a new January jobs report showing 19,000 more restaurant and bar workers lost their jobs in the first month of 2021—despite gains across the economy.

The food and beverage industry has seen monumental loss due to COVID-19. Nearly 2.5 million jobs were lost in the past year, far more than any other industry, and more than one in four people out of work from the pandemic worked in a restaurant or bar. Of the eateries across the country that have closed their doors since March, at least 110,000 have closed for good.A sign hangs on the door of the Union Grill, temporarily closed due to COVID-19, in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh on Jan.

The grassroots network of restaurant operators, suppliers and allies have worked throughout the pandemic to educate both political leaders and the public about the challenges facing the industry, and pushes for bipartisan support for targeted relief. Operators who secure a grant could use the funds for payroll, benefits, mortgage, rent, utilities, building maintenance, construction of outdoor facilities, PPE supplies, food, operational expenses, paid sick leave, debt obligations to suppliers and other essential expenses.

Mitchell Moore, owner of Campbell’s Bakery in Madison, Mississippi, told the IRC they used to bake wedding cakes every week."Now we’re lucky if we get one every month. It is just not sustainable and we need help," Moore said.
