    Type 1 vs. Type 2 Commercial Kitchen Hood: Start Here

    Before diving into individual components, it helps to know which class of hood you're working with. The distinction matters enormously for installation, compliance, and cost.

BACKGROUND

On March 11, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 created the $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund to provide grants for restaurants sustaining financial losses due to the COVID-19 pandemic.


On April 17, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) issued the necessary federal rules, regulations, and a sample application to distribute the grant funds.


This frequently asked questions (FAQ) resource will be updated as the SBA releases information on the Restaurant Revitalization Fund Grant (RRFG) Program.
