Restaurants were heavily impacted when COVID-19 arrived. From shutdowns to limited seating and increased safety protocols, nearly every restaurant – if not all, experienced serious setbacks as a result of the pandemic.
If your restaurant experienced either #1 or #2 below due to COVID-19, you may qualify for the Employee Retention Credit program.
1. A greater than 10% of restrictions on your business operations due to government issued COVID orders, which might include:
2. A 50% or more decline in gross receipts in 2020 when compared to the same quarter in 2019 or a 20% or more decline in gross receipts in 2021 when compared to the same quarter in 2019.
Under the updated CARES Act, your business may qualify for Employee Retention Credit, providing you with up to $26,000 per W-2 employee. The ERC program is available even to businesses that accepted a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity.
