Starting on August 12, 2020, independently owned restaurants, hotel restaurants, bars, and caterers can apply online at https://sobewff.org/ to receive up to $15,000 per location so that they can distribute up to $500 per person.
To qualify for the assistance, the establishment has to meet certain criteria set by Miami-Dade County at Miami-Dade Document Checklist. The idea is for affected establishments to be able to apply for a grant and to then distribute the money to its affected employees at $500 per person.
This program is being funded by a $5million grant from Miami-Dade County to be distributed to its struggling restaurant, bar, and catering employees who have been impaced by COVID-19.
