Founded in 1936, the GGRA’s mission is to celebrate and empower the restaurant community through advocacy, education, marketing, events and training. We are a San Francisco-based non profit 501(c)6 organization composed of restaurant members, including many smaller, independent restaurants. We work with elected officials, department heads, and partner organizations on public policy concerns to help shape legislation and reduce potential negative consequences for the industry and the dining public. We provide up-to-date information on all aspects of running a restaurant in San Francisco, as well as provide opportunities to network, learn, and share best practices.
