$$ FOR OUT OF WORK STAFF (virtual tip jar)
Donation protected
Using go fund me is not something I ever imagined using, certainly have donated in the past but now the tables have turned
The Covid-19 pandemic has forced me to close my restaurants and literally put all my 50 plus servers, cooks and dishwashers out of work. These amazing hardworking individuals live paycheck to paycheck relying on tips to pay their bills, support family etc....
I pay insurance for 3 locations monthly and with no claim ever submitted I had hoped my business interruption clause would kick in and I would be covered. All claims denied!!! Now, what do I do , no cash for staff, next week we have rent, sales tax and a payroll to cover.
This stoppage could and may put us in chapter 11 situation quickly, my wife will likely be mad at me for even resorting to this, but I need to pay my employees, these people have not even complained, even though they may not know where their next meal is coming from.
We remain optimistic and pray to get back to normal operations shortly, but by all indications, this could last weeks/months
We realize this has hit many and we empathize, please support here or by placing a take out order or a [email redacted]atchfp.com as we soldier through this
Thanks to you all, be safe, be well, be smart, be generous :)
