Was your restaurant affected by the COVID-19 pandemic? Most business owners can request and qualify for the ERC Tax Refund in a couple easy steps. See below to get started:

Am I Eligible?

Here's the most common ways restaurants were affected that make you eligible for ERC

  • Full Shutdowns
  • Partial Shutdowns
  • Interrupted Operations
  • Supply Chain Interruptions
  • Inability to Access Equipment
  • Limited Capacity to Operate
  • Inability to Work with Vendors
  • Reduction in Services or Goods Offered to Customers
  • Cut Down on Hours of Operations
  • Shifting Hours to Increase the Sanitation of the Facility

The financial challenges for retail and brick-and-mortar stores during the pandemic were instantly felt. A lot of businesses were forced to close, adjust their business hours, and implement rigorous changes in their services due to mandatory sanitation procedures and staffing requirements. As a result, most witnessed their gross receipts plummet as stay-at-home orders were instituted across the country. 

The financial stress of that period can still be felt by business owners trying to reclaim their stability. This is where the ERC tax credit shines as a massive government relief opportunity regardless of whether you have already received PPP loans.

Sunrise Helps Restaurants Secure the Maximum ERC Amount - Guaranteed

Few industries were more heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic than restaurants. Every restaurant in the country was subject to government restrictions. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) contains a provision—the Employee Retention Credit (ERC)—through which restaurants can qualify for a tax refund. The ERC is important because ERC funds can be three to seven times higher than Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds.

At ERC Guaranteed, we are exclusively focused on helping businesses qualify for the maximum Employee Retention Credit (ERC). Our team has deep experience working with restaurants nationwide. If you have questions about the ERC application process for restaurants, we are here to help. With us, you will get the maximum ERC—guaranteed. Call us at 1-888-210-8870 or contact us online to set up a confidential appointment with an ERC specialist.

  • ERC is Available for Six Quarters: The ERC covers six quarters in total: The final three quarters of 2020 and the first three quarters of 2021. A restaurant can still file for the ERC for all six quarters.
  • A Maximum of $26,000 per Employee is Available: ERC Funds are based on wages paid during the qualifying period. There’s a max of $26,000 per each employee available across all six quarters for resturants.
  • You Must Apply to Get the ERC: The federal government will not automatically send restaurants a tax refund for the ERC. Restaurants need to apply for the ERC benefits. Do not miss your opportunity to secure your refund.

How Restaurants Can Qualify for the ERC

The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically changed the restaurant industry. In a matter of a few days, restaurants were forced to transition to take-out only or were shut down entirely. A report from the National Restaurant Association assessed that many restaurants would never make a full recovery to their pre-pandemic state. A study published by the National Library of Medicine estimated that 15 percent of U.S. restaurants went out of business because of the pandemic. Most restaurants suffered losses in the form of reduced revenue or additional expenses.

Every restaurant in the United States can qualify for the ERC. There are actually two different ways to qualify for an ERC tax refund as a restaurant: 1) You can prove a substantial loss in revenue or 2) You can prove your business was subject to a partial or full government shutdown order. Every restaurant was subject to such an order. Examples of restaurant shutdown orders include:

  • Additional sanitization requirements
  • Social distancing restrictions
  • Capacity limitations
  • Take-out only requirements
  • Supply chain disruptions

ERC Guaranteed has obtained access to the federal, state, and municipal government shutdown orders from their government order specialists. We have the documentation that restaurants need to qualify for the Employee Retention Credit. Every restaurant in the United States was impacted by COVID-19 and should apply for a tax refund.
