The Wisconsin Restaurant Association (WRA) has been incorporated as a not-for-profit trade association since 1933. WRA is made up of approximately 3,000 diverse food service businesses representing over 7,000 locations throughout Wisconsin. By uniting in an association, members have access to information and services to help them better run their businesses. A strong membership gives WRA a more powerful voice in pursuing its mission to protect, promote and improve the restaurant industry.

Founded in 1929, the Washington Restaurant Association (WRA) is the leading business association representing the state’s hospitality industry.

The WRA, which includes an Education Foundation, responds to member needs by providing a variety of programs that help businesses succeed. This includes educational classes, such as food safety and alcohol server training, and many business assistance programs, such as a workers’ compensation program, health insurance and financial and legal consultation.

In addition to these programs, the WRA provides government relations services. The association directly represents members through lobbying efforts with the state Legislature and has one of the most sophisticated and effective grassroots lobbying organizations in Washington state.
