Restaurants in three Canadian cities can now apply to get DoorDash Canada grants for $3,000 that are meant to help with COVID-19 relief.

This is part of the tech company's grant program and a total of $1,125,000 is being offered to restaurants located in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

$3,000 money restaurants can get with the grant

Eligible restaurants must be located in those three cities, have three stores or fewer operating currently, have generated $3 million or less of annual revenue per store in 2019 and employ 50 people or fewer per store.

Businesses can apply to get a $3,000 grant for offsetting the costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ones that receive the money will be selected based on criteria that are laid out in the application so that there's equal access to the grant.

Applications are open from January 27 to February 17, with selected restaurants being notified by March 1 and the money going out by early April.

Canada has seen many restaurants close permanently because of the pandemic and it was estimated in December 2020 that more than 10,000 had shut down.

Two Torontonians recently created Not UberEats, a site that lists restaurants in the city that offer their own delivery to help out local spots.
