The campaign aims to bring together the industry and the millions of guests it serves to take a moment to show gratitude and share some hope with the essential workers who make America’s food and beverage operations the cornerstone of the community they serve.

CORE’s campaign will spotlight hardworking employees via social media channels while also raising awareness for CORE’s mission - to serve food and beverage employees with children during their time of need. Dine with us at Cuba Libre Restaurant Nov. 9-15 to show gratitude for service employees and #PostAToast via social media to your favorite bartender, server or restaurant employee!

When dining, you can also choose to lend your support by asking your server to add a “Side of Hope” donation for CORE (in increments of $1, $5 or $10) to your check. 100% of donations collected will go directly to CORE.

We really appreciate your support and hope to see you during National Food & Beverage Employee Appreciation Week!
