The National Restaurant Association Community Platform, Restaurants Connect

We’ve upgraded our Listserv and have officially launched a 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. 

What you will find:

  • 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 operation.
  • 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 Restaurants Connect, email community@restaurant.org.

*Note: this platform is open to National Restaurant Association Operator Members only.
