The National Restaurant Association Community Platform, Restaurants Connect
We’ve upgraded our Listserv to a robust community platform, Restaurants Connect. This platform provides our members with an exclusive opportunity to engage, network, and connect with other restaurant operators – all through a seamless and intuitive interface.
The platform gives you the opportunity to:
- Tailor your experience and join multiple discipline groups to receive critical resources and knowledge that will help solve your most pressing challenges.
- Share your expertise, learn from your peers, expand on best practices, and improve your personal knowledge and business operations.
- Continue important conversations before, during and after events.
- Stay up to date on the latest Association news, events, discounts, and products that impact your bottom line.
To access the platform, email community@restaurant.org.
*Note: this platform is open to National Restaurant Association Operator Members only.
