2 What is the Golden Gate Restaurant Association? In 2016, we ll celebrate the GGRA s 80th anniversary. Founded by restaurateurs in 1936 to give the industry a collective voice and bargaining power, the GGRA has evolved to be the singular representation and one-stop resource for the restaurant and foodservice industry in the Bay Area and beyond. The GGRA eists to advocate for restaurants unique interests. We do that within the corridors of City Hall and through education and training programs that ensure our members are apprised of evolving legislation and how to stay in compliance. We celebrate and showcase Bay Area restaurants & bars through great annual events like Eat Drink SF and SF Restaurant Week. Our member community includes restaurants of all sizes and profiles and we have a valuable network of resources to support them through all stages of growth.

3 What is the GGRA Industry Conference? The GGRA Industry Conference is an opportunity to bring together the local restaurant community to connect, learn, inspire, and discuss current issues facing restaurants & bars in the San Francisco Bay Area. The GGRA Industry Conference includes business panels, networking receptions, and culinary & beverage classes geared towards professional development. In 2016, it will include a Job Fair and Resource Center (a variety of consultation services).
