Our duty as loyal customers

Our small businesses need us more than ever. Even though we can’t leave home, we can still support local restaurants by buying gift cards. It’s basically a mini-loan, so buy one now and make a plan to use it later.

3 weeks can kill a business

Restaurants have tons of fixed costs: rent, labor, loan repayments, insurance, supplies, repairs – the list goes on. Even successful restaurants have razor thin margins of 3-5%, and a third have struggled to pay employees at least once. For some, the loss of business due to COVID-19 could tip the balance into bankruptcy.
