HOLLYWOOD, CA — As restaurants are again mostly shut down with no federal relief package in sight, Musso & Frank is working to support their own employees amid the pandemic. The longtime Hollywood eatery launched a GoFundMe called the "Employee Relief Fund," asking customers to donate what they can to help the cooks, bartenders, dishwashers and more who keep the operation running.

Musso & Frank, which received a star on the Walk of Fame last September to celebrate their 100th anniversary, also pledged to donate 25% of online merchandise sales to help the fund.

"100% of the funds will go directly to our 84 employees," the restaurant wrote in a statement. "50% of that will go to them to help pay for basic cost of living expenses and 50% will go directly to continuing to pay for their healthcare insurance benefits. We as a family are also pledging 25% of all online merchandise sales to this fund. If you go to our shop you will see we now have Covid-19 FACEMASKS along with our award winning book, gift cards and cufflinks. Please find the link to donate and shop in our bio! Happy Holidays from our family to yours!"

As of December 14, 481 donors had given over $57,000 to support the staff in their time of need. The owners said the GoFundMe will be up and running at least through Christmas, and potentially into 2021.

"All we can say is WOW!! We are truly grateful for each and every one of you! The outpouring of support for our employees, our family, is heartwarming! We know they are beyond thankful and you will be hearing from them soon! On behalf of our family, we thank you for your generosity and show of support!"

Like so many other establishments, the coronavirus pandemic has taken a toll on Musso & Frank. After briefly experimenting with outdoor dining, the restaurant decided to shutter all food-related operations on July 27, including takeout and delivery. The restaurant instead decided to focus on finishing their new dining space, which they hope to open for socially distant dining once it is complete and safe to do so.
