Local restaurant brand donates proceeds from gift card sales back to employees

Servers, bartenders and hosts are among the many employees whose jobs have been rendered obsolete by the COVID-19 pandemic. Though some restaurants have been able to use employees as delivery drivers or to package food for pickup, many have had to close their doors altogether, leaving employees suddenly without a paycheck.

To combat the loss of diners staying home in the name of social distancing, local restaurants Casa Dโ€™Angelo and Angelo Elia have committed to donating all of the sales from gift cards to its employees. They also are offering a 20% discount on all gift cards as an incentive to purchase.

โ€œIn an effort to help sustain our staff during this difficult time, we will be donating all proceeds from the sale of our gift cards towards keeping our employees on the job,โ€ says chef Angelo Elia. โ€œWe have seen a tremendous response from the community and a willingness to lend their support through purchasing the gift cards and helping our team stay on their feet.โ€

These gift cards can be redeemed at any time and at any of the restaurantโ€™s locations throughout South Florida. Gift cards may be purchased either in-store or by telephone to be mailed to the recipient.

These restaurants also offer creative solutions for those socially distancing and self-isolating during this time. Most Casa Dโ€™Angelo and Angelo Elia locations are offering โ€œwhite gloveโ€ curbside pickup and free delivery to local homes and residences. To order either of these services, call the location you wish to order from. Casa D’Angelo is open from 2 to 9 p.m. and Angelo Elia is open from 4 p.m. to close.
