Royal Employee Fund

COVID-19 has hit the entire country hard, but the restaurant industry is especially vulnerable, with many of your favorite restaurants potentially unable to reopen after this world crisis.

Our small, family-owned business had committed to remaining open to serve our local DC community, safely serving food and drinks to-go, which has allowed us to help take care of our staff (which is like family), and give people jobs.

But as time goes on and we realize the situation is becoming more dire and serious, we have made the difficult decision that to prioritize the health and safety of our employees and community, we must temporarily close, to reconfigure and reformat how we serve you all while helping to #flattenthecurve.

We know times are difficult for everyone right now, but if you'd like to support our staff directly, our employees would appreciate anything you can contribute to help them and their families survive financially during this time. All donations go directly to our staff.

We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, for the overwhelming support for our little family-owned business, and giving us hope in difficult times. Thank you always for all the love — we’ll be back with arepas and drinks before you know it. ❤️, team Royal.
