What are you waiting for? We’ve got a food truck feast happening on the west side of the Capitol Building! Lunch served until 1! @COHouseDem @COSenDem @COHouseGOP @ColoSenGOP
HB23-1118 (restrictive scheduling) is up for its first vote TODAY! This bill would be devastating for restaurants, their employees, their guests, and our communities.
Let this data and these stories from local Colorado restaurants explain why...
#CO HB23-1118 is meant to help restaurant workers, but the unintended consequences would do the opposite. Many people who work in restaurants do so because they need a flexible schedule, and this bill would take that away.

Live at the #CRBShow:“We need to look at individuals on our teams and take care of them. Our job is to listen and care for them so they return. We strive every single day to see our employees. Do we succeed every time? No way. But we try.” Gary Obligacion, The Alinea Group
Get ready for another fall/winter of outdoor dining… and please be kind to restaurant workers! #corestaurants

CHEERS! 🍻
To-go alcohol from restaurants will continue! ✅
@GovofCO was in Eagle County today to sign our bill allowing restaurants to sell to-go alcohol for four more years and for towns to have common outdoor dining areas. Common sense changes to help small business! #coleg
“One thing that’s gotten lost in the last year with the pandemic is restaurants are really fun environments to work in," said Denise Mickelsen, Communication Director for CRA. 9news.com/article/news/local…
“We created this job board to make it simple and appealing for new talent and returning workers to find their homes in the restaurant industry,” says Sonia Riggs, CEO of CRA. montrosepress.com/news/busin…
“Alcohol to go is win-win for the people of Colorado, who overwhelmingly approve of it, and for restaurants, who need it as they work to recover following more than a year of pandemic-driven disruptions to business,” said CEO of CRA, Sonia Riggs. @KDVR kdvr.com/news/local/have-you…

Yes, Denver-area restaurants are at 100% capacity. But between the labor shortage and the inability to even get tables and chairs made, many aren't going there. I speak with eateries as well as groups like @EatDenverCO and @corestassoc about this: bizjournals.com/denver/news/…
"To go cocktails were part of how restaurants helped us bring that experience home with us when we couldn’t go out.
Businesses innovated during the pandemic, as they always do," wrote @Rachel_C_Beck, @csgazette. #copolitics #coleg gazette.com/opinion/guest-co…
"Angel Relief Fund is the foundation arm of the Colorado Restaurant Association. It has tried to support workers in this industry when they have been laid off or furloughed due to COVID-19 by providing grants of up to $1,000," wrote Erin Powell, @9NEWS. 9news.com/article/news/local…

"Allowing this effort to continue gives people a service they are looking for — and it’s a great way to try new cocktails, wine and beer with good food at home," wrote David M. Ozgo, senior VP & chief economist at @DistilledSpirit, @colo_politics. #coleg coloradopolitics.com/opinion…
Don't let #alcohol to go end on July 1! Tell your elected officials to support the HOUSE version of HB 1027 TODAY!
It is crucial that they hear how this will help local restaurants recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
