GGRA’s mission is to celebrate and empower the restaurant community through advocacy, education, marketing, events and training. Founded by restaurateurs in 1936 to give restaurants a collective voice and bargaining power, the GGRA has evolved to be the singular representation and trusted one-stop resource for the culinary community in the Bay Area and beyond. The GGRA exists to advocate for restaurants’ unique interests. We do that within the corridors of City Hall and through education and training programs to make sure our members are apprised of evolving legislation and stay in compliance. We celebrate and showcase our members 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.
