Design Corps
Small Business Reopening Network
The Design Corps is a network of volunteers assisting restaurants’ design-related needs that have arisen due to the COVID-19 crisis. Restaurants can sign up to receive a free consultation from a design professional who can help answer questions about improving dining area, space layout, and adapting to the guidelines.
Restaurants
Below are profiles of small businesses that are seeking a consultation to help improve their space in compliance with COVID-19 guidelines. Restaurant owners can reach out directly to the designers listed in the section below. Please note, the program offering includes a free consultation with a design professional.
