From tees to totes, look for these restaurant-branded items the next time you visit

The restaurant industry is in crisis mode. With new policies implemented to limit seating and occupancy during dining intervals, establishments are exploring all avenues in order to stay afloat. As United We Dine helps drum up business, there is more than just showing up that we can do to help our favourite restaurants, including purchasing dining vouchers for future dining opportunities as well as restaurant merchandise. Here are some restaurant merchandise we are in love with this season.
