Helping Communities Heal and Making Restaurants #AAPISTRONG

Grubhub and others play a vital role in getting financial support to independent Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)-owned businesses across the country

By Dr. Karen Eng, President and CEO, CSMI and Board Chair, National Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurship (National ACE)

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we heard all too often about how restaurants across the country were hit hard. However, AAPI-owned businesses in particular faced unique challenges, including heightened racism triggered by the pandemic’s association with Asian countries. It’s always been the role of National ACE to build a bridge between AAPI-owned businesses and the communities in which they operate. Now, this work has taken on renewed importance.  We work closely with partner Chambers of Commerce and businesses throughout the country, including Grubhub, to strengthen our programs and expand our reach.

I am extremely grateful for our partnership with the Grubhub Community Fund (GCF) in 2021, and am thrilled to share that we have renewed and deepened our partnership for 2022.

Thanks to support from the GCF, National ACE’s 2021 AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund supported 196 restaurants across the country with grants of up to $10k each. Grant winners reported the funds being used for crucial operating costs, such as rent, employee paychecks, purchasing PPE, renovations, new equipment,  establishing a digital e-commerce presence, and marketing and technology updates.

Building on last year’s success, GCF will contribute $2.5M to National ACE as the grant program expands in 2022. This year, grants will support independent AAPI-owned restaurants nationwide with grants ranging from $25K to $100K.

The numbers are impressive, but what really highlights why partnerships like this are so important is the feedback we hear from the small business owners in need of grant support. The 2021 winners represent the wonderful and diverse restaurants and businesses we’ve been able to impact directly.

Tim & Joni Navarra, Owners of East Market and Goods in Waco, Texas

“There is no Asian grocery store within 90 miles of our city, Waco. And so there’s also a lot of flavors that are missing, especially when it comes to Korean, Filipino, Malaysian and Thai…So for most people during the pandemic, they don’t have to go over 90 miles to feel like they’re at home to get the little things. [The fund] will allow us to stay open and continue to share these flavors.”

Khaled Ramadan, Co-owner of Sunrise Middle Eastern Deli in San Francisco’s Sunset District

“The fund will keep our staff employed at their normal hours and normal hourly wage without having to decrease their hours or change their schedules. Whatever is left over, we will have to use it on our rent….”

“You guys have been a lifesaver for us.”

Jason Angeles, Co-Founder of Churreria in San Francisco, CA

“AAPISTRONG is a reflection of the Asian American community, we flood to support each other and stand in solidarity during tough and rough times. This grant helps us with the ongoing transition period from ‘shelter in place’ mindset to the ‘fully opened economy’. This middle ground has been tough on the businesses. We need to get to fully opened to really survive.”

Saki Melius, Owner of Kyu Ramen in Denver, CO

“I really appreciate it. [The funds] were so helpful. Thank you so much… [I’m] using it to cover part of the rent and the labor cost. The beginning of the month is a little difficult because all the payments happen at once. So, the fund that we receive will go to that.”

Nu Ice and Drink, Houston, TX

“In 2010, Nu Cafe opened its doors to the public. We started off as a full-fledged restaurant with rice and noodle dishes, along with drinks and shaved ice. We were one of the first and original food establishments to serve authentic Snowflake Ice in Texas. People flocked from all over Houston, Dallas, Austin, and even other states to try our Nu Snowflake Ice, food, and creative drinks.”

Companies like Grubhub help us achieve our mission to advocate for AAPI business interests, and to stand up for and effect change in our community. We can only be successful in this work by having strong relationships – with the AAPI community, coalitions and leaders at the community level, and with partners like Grubhub and supportive, like-minded organizations. We’re motivated by the success we’ve seen to date, and we’re energized by the amazing opportunities that lie ahead.

National ACE Opens Applications for the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund in Partnership with the Grubhub Community Fund to Help Struggling AAPI-owned Restaurants

Independent restaurants across the country can apply for a grant up to $100,000 through the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund

CHICAGO, IL and WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship (National ACE) today announced the second year of the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund to support independent, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI)-owned restaurants, a program enabled by a grant from the Grubhub Community Fund. With the industry facing unprecedented challenges since the pandemic began over two years ago, the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund is available to help restaurants respond to supply chain disruptions, increased inventory costs, workforce development, and discrimination. The monetary grants can help pay employees’ wages, expand operations, renovate for new business needs, upgrade equipment, explore e-commerce offerings, or repair damage to the place of business caused by anti-Asian sentiment.

“Our AAPI-owned restaurants have experienced severe losses throughout the pandemic and even worse, continue to be victims of hate, discrimination, and bias at their places of business,” said Chiling Tong President and CEO of National ACE. “Grubhub’s ongoing commitment to AAPI-owned restaurants is demonstrated by the continuation of this amazing grant opportunity. The contributions from Grubhub and its diners will provide relief for AAPI restaurant owners who may not have received financial assistance from the federal government or those who are trying to emerge from the long-lasting and devastating impacts of the pandemic.”

Eligible restaurants across the country will be able to apply for a $25,000 grant, and over 70 restaurants will be awarded in September 2022. Three finalists will be awarded $100,000, $75,000, and $50,000 live at the National ACE Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. from September 19-21, 2022.

AAPI-owned restaurants were among the hardest hit during the pandemic’s early days. By April 2020, roughly half of the Chinese restaurants in the U.S. had closed because of the pandemic, coupled with consumer prejudice and misperceptions.

“As the country emerges from the pandemic, restaurants still need help getting back on their feet, and that’s why Grubhub is doubling down on its support and partnering with National ACE again to help diverse restaurants,” said Dave Tovar, Senior Vice President of Communications & Government Relations at Grubhub. “Every restaurant has been impacted by the pandemic, but the AAPI community has faced uniquely difficult challenges over the past two years. We hope by highlighting the important role diverse restaurants play in their communities – from the cuisine offered to employment opportunities to serving as community gathering spaces – that we can help these restaurants grow and thrive.”

From June 1 to June 22, 2022, the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund will accept grant applications from all AAPI-owned restaurants throughout the United States.

To qualify for grant assistance, AAPI-owned restaurants must satisfy all of the following requirements:

  1. The restaurant must be Asian American/Pacific Islander/Native Hawaiian majority-owned (at least 51%);
  2. Must be based in the United States;
  3. Must be currently operational;
  4. Must show proof of their primary licensed activity as “the preparation and serving of food”;
  5. Must operate in a maximum of three locations (cannot be a franchise).

Applications will open at 9am ET on Wednesday, June 1, 2022 via www.AAPISTRONG.com.

The application period will close on June 22, 2022 and grants will be distributed to restaurants throughout Fall 2022. Interested restaurants can learn more about the AAPISTRONG Restaurant Fund and the full application process at https://www.aapistrong.com/current-grants

Grubhub Backs Legislation to Lift New York City Liquor Tax

Suspending tax will help independent restaurants survive and thrive in wake of COVID-19

Grubhub, a leading food ordering and delivery marketplace, today urged the New York City Council to pass legislation waiving the annual tax on state licensed retailers selling liquor, wine or beer on- or off-premises in the City of New York. The bill, introduced by Council Members Keith Powers and Justin Brannan (at the request of Mayor Eric Adams) on Thursday, was also a key component of the Mayor’s blueprint for the city’s economic recovery.

“Grubhub strongly supports lifting New York City’s liquor tax, a commonsense solution that will help independent bars and restaurants not only survive but thrive as they continue to recover from the pandemic,” said Amy Healy, vice president of government affairs at Grubhub. “Small businesses are the cornerstones of every New York City neighborhood. We are pleased to see Mayor Adams and Council members Brennan and Powers continue to ally with small businesses and offer new tools to help put money back in their pockets.”

Grubhub was a vocal backer of Governor Kathy Hochul’s successful push to include permanent alcohol delivery and takeout in the New York State budget earlier this year. Throughout the pandemic, the company actively worked with local independent restaurants in New York City and across the country, providing them with an avenue to reach diners while helping partners and communities in need. In addition to direct marketplace support, Grubhub has provided millions of dollars in individual grants to restaurant partners to help them pay for overhead costs, employee retention and more.

Grubhub Applauds House Passage of Restaurant Relief Funds and Calls for Swift Action in Senate

NEW YORK — Following the House of Representatives’ approval today of a $55 billion package for relief to restaurants and other small businesses heavily impacted by the pandemic, Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and delivery marketplace which partners with more than 300,000 restaurants nationwide, praised the House for offering a lifeline to businesses in need.

“Grubhub strongly supports replenishing the Restaurant Revitalization Fund and we applaud the House for extending a lifeline America’s restaurants need as they recover from the pandemic and grow their businesses,” said Amy Healy, vice president of government affairs at Grubhub. “For more than two years now, local restaurants have faced soaring operating costs, labor shortages, and customer uncertainty. We now call on the Senate to quickly approve this funding, which will ensure that independent restaurants—the cornerstones of our communities—can move forward and thrive.”

Since the start of the pandemic, Grubhub has invested hundreds of millions of dollars to directly support restaurants, including over $130 million in reduced or waived fees to help drive more revenue to businesses when their dining rooms were closed.

Grubhub Applauds Governor Hochul’s Push To Make To-Go Drinks Permanent In New York

Extending alcohol and delivery takeout can provide “vital lifeline” for bars and restaurants in wake of COVID-19

NEW YORK, Mar 3, 2022 – Following Governor Kathy Hochul’s announcement of new plans to support the hospitality industry on Wednesday, Grubhub, a leading food ordering and delivery marketplace, reinforced its support for making alcohol to-go drinks for restaurants and bars permanent. The effort, which is included as part of the Governor’s proposed budget, is one of a number of key steps outlined designed to modernize state liquor regulations and support small businesses hit hard by the pandemic.

“Grubhub strongly supports extending alcohol delivery and takeout in New York and we applaud Governor Hochul’s push to offer this vital lifeline for bars and restaurants as they get back on their feet,” said Amy Healy, vice president of government affairs at Grubhub. “While restaurants are open and capacity restrictions have been lifted, a full economic recovery is likely years away. Allowing restaurants and bars to offer takeout and delivery of beverages they are already permitted to sell on-premise is a commonsense approach that will give these small businesses a critical tool in their fight to survive and ultimately thrive.”

Grubhub partners with thousands of restaurants across the state of New York, where food delivery is part of the local fabric, and processed billions of dollars in sales to restaurants in 2021. Throughout the pandemic, the company has actively worked with local independent restaurants, providing them with an avenue to reach diners while helping partners and communities in need. In addition to direct marketplace support, Grubhub has provided millions of dollars in individual grants to restaurant partners to help them pay for overhead costs, employee retention, and more. Grubhub is also working to help those who are food insecure with a purchased meal program from local restaurateurs.

Grubhub Teams Up With Indeed to Support Restaurant Staffing Efforts

It’s no secret that the last two years have been challenging for restaurants. While indoor dining has returned in some capacity across most of the country, staffing remains a challenge for many independent restaurants. Roughly half of restaurant operators expect that recruiting and retaining workers will be their biggest challenge this year, according to the National Restaurant Association. This is why Grubhub is proud to partner with Indeed, the world’s number one job site, to help restaurants with their staffing needs.

Starting today for a limited time, restaurants in Chicago, New York, Boston and Philadelphia that sign up for Grubhub will receive a $300 Indeed credit that they can use for a sponsored job posting to help them with their hiring efforts. Restaurants drove nearly $10 billion in sales on the Grubhub marketplace last year, allowing them to continue to receive orders even when indoor dining was impacted by COVID-19. And now by teaming up with Indeed, we’re helping more restaurants not only generate additional business online, but do more hiring online as well.

“We’ve been hyper-focused on supporting restaurants over the last two years by driving more order volume and providing the tools to bring more of their business online,” said Hollis Woodlock, director of restaurant marketing at Grubhub. “This partnership with Indeed is one more way we’re supporting restaurants in their recovery and beyond. We’re taking what we hear from them and turning it into meaningful action that has a direct impact on their operations.”

Sponsoring a job on Indeed unlocks hiring tools to help employers reach candidates faster, such as Indeed’s Instant Match, which immediately shows employers a list of candidates whose resumes on Indeed fit their job descriptions. Employers who invite candidates to apply through Instant Match are 3x more likely to apply to their jobs than those who only see the job in search.

Employers can post jobs to Indeed to gain access to a variety of hiring tools such as job description templates, screening and skills assessments, and Indeed’s video interviewing platform, which helps get candidates into interviews an average of 20% faster so they can quickly make connections with quality candidates.

Existing Grubhub restaurants in these markets who sign up for Grubhub Direct, a commission-free online ordering platform, will also be eligible for this credit in the coming weeks. To learn more and get started, please visit here.

Three LGBTQ+ Restaurateurs Awarded $100K Grants from $2 Million Covid Relief Fund

National LGBT Chamber of Commerce and Grubhub Announce Recipients of String-Free Funds for Struggling Restaurants

CHICAGO, Nov. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC), the business voice of the LGBTQ+ community and certifying body for LGBTQ+-owned businesses nationwide, and Grubhub, a leading U.S. food-ordering and delivery marketplace, announced today three recipients of $100,000 grants given by the NGLCC/Grubhub Community Impact Grant Program.

FOODE + Mercantile, Café Gabriela, Pitchers DC and League of Her Own, serving communities in Fredericksburg, Va., Oakland, Calif., and Washington, D.C., were granted $100,000 each at the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) Back to Business (B2B) Summit 2021. These small business owners are among the first recipients of the $2 million COVID-19 relief funds generated by the Chamber in partnership with Grubhub. With the funds, the NGLCC and Grubhub created the NGLCC/Grubhub Community Impact Grant Program to support struggling LGBTQ+ owned and LGBTQ+ ally establishments.

“The impact of COVID-19 has been debilitating for countless restaurant and bar owners, including the many LGBTQ+-owned restaurants across the country who have persisted through lockdowns, operational changes and labor and supply shortages,” said NGLCC Co-Founder and President Justin Nelson. “We’re grateful to have partnered with Grubhub to offer real lifelines to support businesses throughout the nation. America’s 1.4 million LGBTQ+-owned business owners have shown incredible resilience over the past two years, and as we travel along this road to full recovery, we are proud to continue being partners for many in our community.”

“COVID has turned the restaurant industry on its head the last 18 plus months, and at Grubhub, we’ve been working hard every day to support our restaurant partners across the country,” said Amy Healy, vice president of government relations for Grubhub. “As the world starts to return to a new normal, we’re proud to partner with the NGLCC and provide these grants to LGBTQ+ owned and LGBTQ+ ally-owned restaurants across the country that are pillars of their communities.”

Here’s what the grant recipients had to say:

“As a trans-masculine and queer, immigrant person of color, I’ve worked hard and put all my love and energy into building a beautiful and welcoming space in Café Gabriela. I’ve remained resilient through COVID and this grant is the injection of funds that we need to continue along our journey to full recovery,” said Penny Baldado, owner of Café Gabriela.

“Building community in a fun and safe place has been our mission since the very beginning. We’re relieved and thankful for these funds, and are looking forward to more stable days ahead,” said David Perruzza, owner of League of Her Own and Pitchers DC.

“The past 18 months have been some of the most challenging in my career. Restaurant people are resilient people, but we are forever changed, and these funds will be crucial as we continue to evolve with new technologies and tools to help us compete in this new normal,” said Joy Crump, founding partner and chef of FOODE + Mercantile.

The National LGBT Chamber of Commerce and Grubhub partnered for the month of June for Grubhub’s Donate the Change program, where diners could opt-in, round up their order total, and donate the difference to the NGLCC. Applications for the grant program, ranging from $5,000 to $100,000, opened in September. Recipients were selected based on criteria including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses as well as the restaurants’ plans to use the grant money to recover from the pandemic. Following this initial round of recipients, more grants will be issued in late 2021 and early 2022.

These legacy businesses were initial recipients of a grant program intended to help restaurants and bars impacted by COVID-19. Over the past two years, these small business owners have been among the hardest hit by the global pandemic with loss of jobs and income alongside rising operating costs. For more background on each business, how they were impacted by COVID and how they plan to use funding from the grant, visit here.

Of the over 100 grants to be awarded, 30% of the funds available are intended for businesses owned by people of color and transgender/gender non-conforming individuals. In the coming weeks, grant recipients will be notified and a full list of restaurants and bars that received funds will be made available.
