From SBA
In addition to registering, it is recommended that applicants familiarize themselves with the application process in advance to ensure a smooth and efficient application experience, specifically by:
Determining if POS service providers will be utilized for providing application submission and automation for current customers.
Note: If an applicant is working with a point-of-sale vendor, they do not need to register beforehand on the site.
The SBA call center support for RRF: 1-844-279-8898
Applications can be submitted through SBA-recognized Point of Sale Restaurant Partners or directly via SBA's online application portal. While SBA encourages applicants to utilize the POS system, applicants without access to point-of-sale service providers can still submit their applications electronically here. The first three weeks SBA will accept applications from all applicants – but will only process applications for Women, Veterans, and other disadvantaged businesses.
