Get Connected. Get to Know Your Georgia Restaurant Association!
Our mission is to serve the needs of Georgia’s restaurant and foodservice industries by providing a voice and value for its members in five key cornerstones:
- Political Advocacy
- Professional Development
- Business Generation
- Discounted Business Services
- Community Involvement
The Georgia Restaurant Association represents an industry comprising over 14,843 foodservice and drinking places in the state of Georgia with total sales in excess of $12.6 billion and provides more jobs (366,000+) than any other non-government employer in the state. Members can count on the GRA to advocate for favorable laws and regulations, to promote the industry, and to provide a network to meet their peers.

Membership in the Georgia Restaurant Association means being a part of the only organization in Georgia solely devoted to promoting and protecting the interests of restaurateurs and the foodservice industry. Membership includes a host of benefits, all centered around our continuing efforts to be the leading advocate and resource for education, political action, information and services for our industry and our community. GRA membership also pays off in real dollars by offering members substantial discounts on the products and services they need to operate their businesses effectively. The GRA represents all foodservice establishments throughout the state. Membership is open to any firm or corporation actively engaged in the foodservice business including purveyors of goods and services to restaurateurs. For more information contact Deborah Schwartz Griffin, Vice President of Membership Services at 404-467-9000.
