Restaurant Membership is the right option for you if you are a restaurant, caterer, or food service operator in Connecticut. We currently support over 2000+ restaurant members across Connecticut of every type and size from local independents to national chains, mom and pop shops to multi-location restaurant groups, single owner caterers to large event venues, and everything in between.

Allied Membership is available to businesses who provide products and services to the restaurant and hospitality industry. Your active participation as an Allied Member demonstrates your commitment to the Association and the critical advocacy work we do in support of the industry.  Vendors are offered different tiers of engagement with flexibility to choose an investment level and benefits that fit your business best. 

Prime Partnership represents the highest level of industry leadership and dedication.  These respected businesses are trusted allies of the Connecticut Restaurant Association, and deeply committed to the growth and success of the restaurant and hospitality community. Our mission would not be possible without the support of these dedicated industry partners. 

Our Education Membership is a great option for high schools located in Connecticut with culinary and/or hospitality programs, post-secondary institutions and non-profits who provide culinary training. Non-profits with a restaurant should reach out to discuss restaurant membership options.
