For hotel and restaurant employers

Give your people somewhere to turn
when life changes overnight.

A house fire, medical emergency, family death or unsafe home can overwhelm an employee before the next paycheck arrives. Hospitality Relief Network is being built to help employers respond with meaningful, private assistance without creating and administering a separate foundation.

Care that can reach the whole organizationOne shared program could support employees across multiple hotels, restaurants, brands, states and payroll systems while keeping every personal hardship private.

A stronger promise to your people

Care for employees through life's hardest moments without building a private fund from the ground up.

Your managers should be able to tell an employee, "There is somewhere you can turn," without becoming a caseworker, reviewing private documents or deciding whose hardship matters most. The proposed network gives the company a practical way to make help available while an independent charitable administrator protects privacy and makes consistent decisions.

  • One trusted source of help across the organization
  • Voluntary payroll participation with a documented employer match
  • Private, compassionate application and case support
  • Executive, HR and manager communication resources
  • Aggregate financial, participation and assistance reporting
  • No employer access to sensitive applicant records or case decisions

Request an employer briefing

Provide basic operating information so the planning team can prepare a relevant discussion for your hotel portfolio, restaurant group, franchise system or independent business. This is not a financial commitment or participation agreement.

A practical role for the employer

Open the door to help while leaving personal decisions in independent hands.

The company introduces the program, supports voluntary giving and confirms employment. Trained charitable professionals handle private applications and assistance decisions.

1

Make help visible

Name an internal leader and give every employee clear information about where to turn before a crisis occurs.

2

Make giving simple

Offer an optional after-tax payroll deduction that employees can start, change or stop at any time.

3

Strengthen every gift

Establish a documented employer match so small individual contributions can become meaningful collective help.

4

Protect every person

Keep managers outside private hardship details while trained reviewers communicate directly with the employee.

The commitment to employees

Your company makes the program possible. It does not control who receives help.

This distinction protects the dignity of the employee, the integrity of management and the credibility of the entire network.

  • Participation remains voluntary and revocable
  • Non-donors remain fully eligible
  • Managers never receive hardship documents
  • Grant decisions remain independent from employment
  • Employer reporting contains aggregate information only

Help give every employee a trusted place to turn.

Join a practical conversation about what your workforce needs, what the network should handle for you and what a responsible pilot would require.
