Massachusetts restaurants need your urgent help regarding three important issues that will help the industry get to the other side. 
  • Authorizing mixed drinks to be sold in conjunction with to-go meals
  • Addressing the accruing meals tax interest on payments that have been deferred
  • Capping the fees charged by 3rd party delivery companies to restaurants during the COVID crisis. 
Please contact your State Senators today and urge them to help our industry.
