About the National Restaurant Association

The National Restaurant Association strives to help every one of its members build customer loyalty, find financial success and provide rewarding careers in foodservice.

Today's restaurant industry is growing rapidly. It employs 12.8 million Americans in 960,000 locations—and 2012 sales are expected to reach $604 billion.

The National Restaurant Association now represents more than 380,000 of those businesses—from restaurants and suppliers to educators and non-profits—and provides each one with the valuable resources needed to stay ahead in a fast-paced industry.

Since 1919, the National Restaurant Association has been the restaurant industry's leading association and, together with the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation, they lead America's restaurant industry into a new era of prosperity, prominence and participation, enhancing the quality of life for all served.
