Disasters are unpredictable — but critical support shouldn’t be. The average small business loses $3,000 every day it remains closed due to a natural disaster. To help restaurants recover in times of critical need, GEN and DoorDash have partnered to launch the Restaurant Disaster Relief Fund in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The fund supports restaurants impacted by natural disasters like fires, floods, and hurricanes, and provides relief through $10,000 grants.
