Federal CARES Act
The CARES Act is intended to provide economic relief
for restaurants. Under the CARES Act, the government
will provide $350 billion in loans to Small Business
Owners. The intent of the loans is to help small
businesses keep their employees on payroll during
the crisis and restore it afterwards.
