The County of Los Angeles is reopening the online application for restaurants interested in the Great Plates Delivered program.

To access the online application, visit here. 

At this time, the program does not have enough eligible meal applicants to enable allocations to new restaurants other than if there is an unmet need due to client location or special meal requirements (kosher, halal, vegan, vegetarian).

The County will begin matching the newly contracted restaurants with meal applicants upon demand increasing.

Restaurants who’ve already submitted the Food Provider Interest Form with the State of California must also fill out the online application for L.A. County to be considered.
