Meet Christine and Jonathon Erdeljac – Jonathon’s Diner

“The future is looking really good thanks to partners like NEWITY. It’s nice to know that you have a partner that’s honest, you can work with, is efficient, and do what they say they’re going to do.”
Christine and Jonathon Erdeljac
Owners of Jonathon's Diner

Jonathon’s Diner, located in Oak Cliff, Texas, is a “scratch kitchen” that is very much part of the local community. They are known for Chef Jonathan’s signature dishes and serving some of the best comfort food. They have been in the business for twelve years and have successfully kept themselves relevant.

Christine and Jonathon Erdeljac, the owners of the diner, began facing problems after eight years due to aging equipment needing maintenance. Consequently, Jonathon found himself operating as the plumber, dishwasher, and chef to keep up with daily operations. Additionally, the Erdeljacs employ around twenty people, so they needed extra money to get back on top.

While filing for ERC, the Erdeljacs learned about our ERC Fast Track program. They found the process with our ERC team quick and easy, even with our shut-down interview process. We proudly helped Christine and Jonathon receive cash for their ERC claim within weeks of filing for the IRS. Thus, they didn’t have to wait for months to reinvest in their business.

After completing ERC, we helped the Erdeljacs apply for an SBA 7(a) loan to finance crucial working capital needs for the diner. They struggled to find a group willing to work with them, feeling the market wasn’t favorable for lending to restaurants. However, Jonathon’s Diner had a strong business plan they were executing in real-time.

Christine and Jonathon were grateful to find us to help them through the SBA 7(a) process. They felt we simplified the application process and were efficient, honest, and had their best interest in mind. Jonathon’s Diner received the funding needed to return to normal operations, and now the Erdeljacs are opening a new location in North Dallas, Texas.

We are grateful to have supported Jonathon’s Diner and are thrilled they are creating a successful future for their business. We look forward to acting as their trusted service provider for future funding needs.
