The U.S. Senate voted against the bipartisan $48 billion Small Business COVID Relief Act, which included a $40 billion replenishment of the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. “This is likely the death knell for the replenishment bill, which was first proposed last summer and would have funded the 265,000 restaurant and bar operators that applied and were denied funding (more than two-thirds of total applicants),” per Nation’s Restaurant News.
