Did you know that you can get discounts on goods and services as a member of the National Restaurant Association? We’re talking insurance, healthcare, inventory software, even office supplies. The Association launched its Marketplace in October 2019.

Checking out our Marketplace is one of the tools to help you enhance your business in 2020. The Association and its Educational Foundation offer great resources restaurateurs can tap into:

  • ProStart is exposing 150,000 high school students to our industry; they’ll need jobs.
  • The Association runs focused conferences for your company's professionals in finance, food safety, nutrition, supply chain, marketing, human resources, IT and sustainability. Imagine what they can learn hanging with their true “peers” from other restaurant companies.
  • Webinars and podcasts deliver expert advice on everything from avoiding lawsuits to recruiting and retaining employees.

From food safety training to the National Restaurant Association Show to advocacy efforts on the Hill, the Association and Foundation aim to help your restaurant thrive in 2020.
