Frequently Asked Questions

I work in the industry, can I become a member?
WRA is a trade association made up of member businesses including restaurants, other foodservice establishments and suppliers to the industry. While we do not have individual memberships, if your employer is a member, you could get access to membership resources. Just ask your employer to provide your contact information to us and you will begin to receive our communications.
My restaurant is a small independent. Do you have members like me or only chains?
Most of WRA's members are just like you. Actually, the majority of WRA's membership is comprised of independent restaurants. It is a common misconception that restaurant associations only benefit the big restaurants or chains. That is untrue.
What’s the cost of dues for my restaurant?
Annual dues start at $475.  Monthly payment options are available.

Your restaurant membership investment is determined by the total annual gross food & beverage sales of the establishment OR total of the annual gross food & beverage of all operations under any single ownership.  This allows each member to pay their fair share of this cooperative effort to support the hospitality industry.

Restaurant members also enjoy dual membership in the National Restaurant Association at no additional cost.
Why should I spend the money on membership?
Investing in membership with the WRA saves you time and money in a variety of ways... it is like having your own consulting firm specializing in HR issues, federal and state compliance, licensing, food safety, business discounts and more.
Is WRA membership mandatory?
Membership in WRA is not required by any regulatory agency. However, we know you will find your membership investment to be one of the best decisions you can make for your business.
What is your most popular benefit?
It depends... some of our members find our informational resources including our Ask WRA hotline, publications and other resources to be their favorite. Others are passionate about the advocacy work WRA does for the industry. While others appreciate being connected with a community of fellow operators. And, everyone enjoys the discounts they get for being a member.

"We’ve been members of WRA for over ten years and not once have we questioned the dues because of the value we get with membership."
