NYSRA’s advocacy at both the state and federal levels ensures that restaurant operators’ voices are heard when it comes to shaping policies that directly impact the industry. From legislation on labor laws to food safety regulations, NYSRA works tirelessly to protect and promote the interests of restaurant owners, allowing them to focus on running their businesses effectively. Together, we can make a real difference!

If there’s one really good decision you could make at the beginning of your restaurant business, that would be joining NYSRA. And you will never regret it.

We have been members for a long time, they do great work for us. NYSRA saves me money on a variety of things, from workers’ compensation to advocating on certain legislation – as well as just being a source of information I would normally not have.

My father first joined NYSRA in 1979, he told me that to be successful you must “know” your business. Our 54 years in business is because of the knowledge, support and networking NYSRA has given us.

If it wasn’t for the hard work of NYSRA, we would have been lost navigating the pandemic nightmare alone. We will be forever grateful and always be a member.
