Welcome to Atlanta!<br />

On behalf of the<br />

Georgia Restaurant<br />

Association (GRA), I<br />

would like to welcome<br />

you to Atlanta.<br />

Whether it is for a<br />

rehearsal dinner, a 90th<br />

birthday celebration or<br />

a college graduation<br />

party, restaurants know<br />

how to set the table for<br />

any occasion. Restaurants provide a gathering place<br />

and create a sense of community, while fostering<br />

social relationships, memories and just fulfilling the<br />

need for connection. Restaurateurs strive to create<br />

memorable dining experiences with relentless<br />

planning, attention to detail and commitment to<br />

service.<br />

The restaurant industry is<br />

a very special and unique<br />

industry. In this digital world<br />

that we are living in today, we<br />

cannot go out to eat online.<br />

Restaurants still require<br />

a need for face-to-face<br />

interaction, both internally as<br />

an employer and externally<br />

as a patron.<br />

Now more than ever,<br />

Americans are dining outside<br />

of their homes. Restaurants<br />

constitute a particularly large<br />

and growing share of our<br />

economy and it is important<br />

to promote dining out<br />

locally so that our economy<br />

continues to thrive. When<br />

supporting local businesses,<br />

there is an opportunity to<br />

preserve local character and<br />

prosperity. It creates a sense<br />

of community well-being.<br />

Dining locally will keep the<br />

dollars at home and continue<br />

to support the businesses in<br />

the area. Restaurants tend to<br />

combine our neighbors in a<br />

web of economic and social<br />

relationships.<br />

The GRA’s mission is to serve<br />

as the voice for Georgia’s<br />

Proud to<br />

be part of<br />

growth in<br />

North Futon<br />

since 1989!<br />

restaurants in advocacy, education and awareness.<br />

The GRA is sanctioned by the National Restaurant<br />

Association to operate Georgia’s only not-for-profit<br />

representing the state’s foodservice industry. The<br />

GRA serves as the unified voice for over 17,000<br />

foodservice and drinking places in the state of<br />

Georgia with total sales in excess of $17.1 billion<br />

which provides more than 438,900 jobs. From large<br />

chains to state-ups, the GRA helps make Georgia a<br />

better place for restaurants to do business and helps<br />

make restaurants better for Georgia.<br />

So as we work to set the table for our restaurant<br />

members, let your local restaurants set the table.<br />

Enjoy the dining destinations in your community and<br />

remember to dine out and dine often.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Karen Bremer<br />
