The Restaurant Association have members covering the length and breadth of the country and we represent every facet of the restaurant and hospitality industry. The Association is organised into 12 regional branches and a national office housed in a building owned by our Education Trust and run by a full-time staff. The industry has also grown and changed. It now employs more than 120,000 people at more than 17,000 restaurants and food outlets and generates sales in excess of $11 billion. Despite the growth it is still a vibrant industry full of interesting passionate, talented and entrepreneurial people. People just like you. In a perfect world, success in hospitality would depend on flair and passion, but in the real world, there is much more to running a business. Which is where the Restaurant Association comes in. As an industry body, we offer members a wide range of business tools and avenues for saving money, plus a free 0800 helpline for advice on any number of issues.
