The Restaurant Revitalization Fund: How to Get Ready
The American Rescue Plan Act established the Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF) to provide funding to help restaurants and other eligible businesses keep their doors open.
 
The RRF will provide eligible entities with funding equal to their pandemic-related revenue loss up to $10 million per business and no more than $5 million per physical location.
 
Recipients are not required to repay the funding as long as funds are used for eligible uses no later than March 11, 2023.
 
The official application launch date will be announced shortly. After a seven-day test period, the SBA will prioritize reviewing applications from small businesses owned by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals for 21 days.
How to Get Ready for the RRF:
Review the the sample application, program guide and also the cross-program eligibility chart on SBA COVID-19 relief options.

You will be able to apply through SBA-recognized Point of Sale Restaurant Partners or directly via SBA at restaurants@sba.gov.
