"Be Kind" Hospitality Campaign

The New Mexico Hospitality Association (NMHA) in collaboration with the New Mexico Restaurant Association (NMRA) and the Jennifer Riordan Foundation (Foundation), have joined together in a plea to ask the public to be patient, kind and respectful when dealing with hospitality and restaurant staff. Many hotels and restaurants across the country, including in New Mexico, are dealing with staff shortages or are training new employees which may result in longer wait times and, sometimes, frustrated customers. The “Be Kind” campaign was launched to encourage guests to exercise patience, kindness and respect when patronizing hotels or restaurants. We will be producing resources (such as the poster in the side column) asking customers to be kind an considerate as you get back open.

Tell Your Elected Officials to Replenish the RRF

The Restaurant Revitalization Fund has been an effective tool for restaurant industry recovery, but for too many owners, the $28.6 billion didn’t last long enough for their application to be approved. The sponsors of the RESTAURANTS Act introduced the Restaurant Revitalization Fund Replenishment Act of 2021 to provide $60 billion in additional funding for the RRF. Support industry recovery by joining our grassroots campaign to tell Congress to replenish the funds to help more restaurants get back to business.
