America’s restaurants are in crisis.

The coronavirus poses a significant threat to the future of an industry that employs more than 15 million Americans. That’s why a coalition of restaurants (including Veggie Grill, Blaze Pizza, Chicken Salad Chick, Upward Projects, Pacfic Catch, Lazy Dog Restaurants, Panera Bread, Noodles & Company, The Cheesecake Factory, BJ’s Restaurants and Brewhouse, and more) is asking industry peers, partners, publishers, influencers, and—most critically—guests, for help.  

On March 24, we’re asking everyone in America to show their support for the restaurant industry and incredible employees by joining #TheGreatAmericanTakeout and eating at least one delivery or pick-up meal.

Here’s how you can help:

  1. Hype it up. Post to social media encouraging your followers to participate in #thegreatamericantakeout on 3/24 (we’ve included an official graphic for your use, downloadable here).
  2. Rally the troops. Reach out to your community: friends, investors, vendors, clients, media, and brand ambassadors. Share this one-sheet and encourage them to participate.
  3. Eat. On 3/24, order takeout or delivery from your favorite restaurant... and be sure to tip restaurant workers! Don’t forget to post a snap or video of your meal, tagged with #thegreatamericantakeout.
  4. Repeat. The Great American Takeout is only the beginning. Keep supporting our nation’s restaurants by ordering takeout or delivery as often as you can.
