Restaurant Funding
Restaurants are expected to hire more than 7 million new employees in the next ten years. Outshine your competition and feed your restaurant’s growth with up to $500,000 in funding from Greenbox Capital® in just 24 hours.
Fast, Easy Restaurant Funding When You Need It
Getting the working capital your restaurant needs from a traditional lender like a bank or the SBA can be difficult. The process can take weeks or months, and traditional lenders typically consider restaurants to be one of the riskiest ventures because of factors such as high overhead and operating costs, thin margins, and stiff competition.
With a streamlined online application, faster turnaround, and flexible approval requirements, Greenbox Capital can approve more restaurant funding than traditional lenders, often in just one business day. We provide a number of different types of small business funding to help grow your restaurant, with alternative restaurant funding from as low as $3,000 up to $500,000. We fund all types of restaurants, including fast food, cafes and coffee shops, casual dining, fine dining, and more.
How To Use Restaurant Funding
There are no restrictions on how you can use restaurant funding from Greenbox Capital. Restaurant funding is typically best used for supporting growth strategies that will increase your eatery’s revenue, such as:
- Upgrading point-of-sale technology to improve efficiency
- Offering new services like takeout, delivery, or catering
- Replacing old appliances and equipment with newer, energy efficient models
- Remodeling your space or creating an outdoor dining space
- Developing a website capable of online or app ordering
- Expanding to a larger space or opening a second location
Alternative small business funding can also help when you need a quick influx of working capital to meet the unique challenges of running a restaurant, such as:
- Hiring, training, and retaining staff
- High operating and food costs
- Complexity of managing inventory
- Fluctuations in real estate value and lease payments
- High competition from other local eateries
- High cost of repairing appliances and equipment
- Changing customer preferences, such as increasing demand for home delivery, local sourcing, zero-waste cooking, and healthy options

Restaurant Funding Q&A
The competition is growing fierce in my area. Can I use alternative funding to market my restaurant?
Yes, expanding your marketing strategy is an ideal use of your restaurant funding. Whether you are engaging in digital or traditional marketing, increasing your brand awareness and driving traffic to your restaurant is good for business growth.
How do I get funding for a restaurant?
You can get funding for a restaurant from traditional lenders like the SBA or a bank, as well as from alternative lenders like Greenbox Capital. Alternative lenders have more flexible approval requirements that consider the overall health and potential of your business—not just your credit score—and offer revenue-based financing options that are more ideal for businesses with lower credit scores, such as merchant cash advances for low credit. Contact one of our Funding Advisors to learn more.
Why should I consider an alternative lender for my restaurant funding?
Most traditional banks consider restaurants to be high-risk and will not fund them. As an alternative lender, we have different approval requirements, and can approve funding for “high risk” industries. We can provide you with the funds you need to cover project expenses, labor, materials and more, often in less than 24 hours.
I want to add a patio to my restaurant to serve more customers. What type of restaurant funding is best for this purpose?
A merchant cash advance is one of our most popular funding options, and is ideal for implementing strategies that will increase your restaurant’s revenue. We recommend you speak with one of our knowledgeable Funding Advisors—they will help you select the right solution for your business.
What do I need to do to qualify for a small business loan?
We have a very simple application process, with same day funding available. To get started, fill out our one-page application form or speak with a Funding Advisor.
