Restaurant El Patron

Restaurant Meals Program (RMP)

California is one of the states participating in the RMP. This specific location is part of the Restaurant Meals Program, which allows eligible SNAP recipients—such as seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those experiencing homelessness—to purchase prepared meals using their EBT card.

RMP locations do not sell traditional groceries. Instead, approved hot meals and prepared food items may be purchased with your EBT benefits, depending on the store’s offerings. Learn more about who qualifies for the CA Restaurant Meals Program.

Tips for Using RMP With Your EBT Card

• Bring your EBT card and PIN to pay for hot meals
• Check which menu items are included (varies by store)
• Ask the cashier if the store requires selecting “EBT Cash” or “EBT Food” for meals
• Check hours since some RMP locations only offer meals during certain parts of the day
