As a local chapter of the Texas Restaurant Association, The Greater Dallas Restaurant Association strives to promote growth of the restaurant industry by providing educational programs, public awareness campaigns, and grass-roots government affairs initiatives. Our association is just over 1,000 members strong, making it one of the largest trade associations in Dallas.

We are committed to the long-term health of the industry, and are supported by restaurateurs and suppliers of the restaurant industry. Our focus is to not only provide political support for restaurants, but to raise funds for those who will be the future of our industry, support community events and hospitality industry-related organizations, and market our members. 

Our goal at GDRA is to serve our community with helpful and powerful resources for our industry in helping our community grow.  We are committed to all our members in making sure all needed information in the restaurant industry is at their fingertips.  "Great Hospitality Service"--"Great," development is what our goal is for our members. "Hospitality," the root of our cause. "Service," to all who need is OUR GAIN FOR THE COMMUNITY!
