About National Restaurant Association
The National Restaurant Association is the largest foodservice trade association in the world*—supporting over 500,000 restaurant businesses. In partnership with our state restaurant associations, we work every day to empower all restaurant owners and operators to achieve more than they thought possible.

We represent and advocate for foodservice industry interests—taking on financial and regulatory obstacles before they hit our members’ bottom line. We provide tools and systems that help members of all sizes get significantly better operating results. And we offer the kinds of networking, education and research resources that are only possible because of our vast, and active, membership base.

We save our members time, money and headaches by helping them take on what matters most for their success and growth—whether that’s protecting their economic interests, sharing best practices, or getting them in front of emerging trends.

Our shared vision with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation
A thriving restaurant and foodservice community, providing America with nourishment, opportunity and joy, working to enhance quality of life for all.

National Restaurant Association Mission
To serve our industry and impact its success, we: Strengthen operations, mitigate risk and develop talent; Advance and protect business vitality through national, state and local advocacy; and Drive knowledge and collaboration.
Why Join Us?
At the National Restaurant Association, we work every day to empower all restaurant owners and operators to achieve more than they thought possible. Our work helps them run their businesses better, achieve significantly better operating results, and navigate issues that impact their bottom line.

This means building a team that embodies the true spirit of hospitality. It’s about what we do and equally how we do it. It’s the value of achievement, excellence, and flawless (or near-flawless) execution. Where we keep each other informed about things that are changing and collaborating well along the way. This is the necessary focus on what we do. And then there’s how we do it. Respectfully, consciously, collaboratively – with an eye toward the person who sits down the hall, across the country, or a collaborative partner or sponsor, a customer, or an exhibitor. We constantly ask ourselves, “what’s the impact of what we’re doing on others?”

This dual emphasis on what we do and how we do it ensures that every leader, manager, and colleague actively supports you every step of the way. You will start at the National Restaurant Association and National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation with a generous benefits package that makes your health and well-being the top priority. Our performance reviews are simplified and action-oriented so you can focus on what you do best. Our professional development offerings include online and classroom learning opportunities to help you develop your skills and expand your professional network. Our volunteer service program allows you to serve your local community and the causes you care about the most. To the extent that we’re successful in this approach, great things will happen for our organization and our stakeholders.
