Membership Dues Fund GGRA’s Advocacy Work:
The GGRA has long served as the voice of the San Francisco restaurant industry.
We are always advocating tirelessly for policies that take restaurants’ perspectives and operational needs into consideration. This includes working with elected officials and city departments to clarify legislature such as SB478, pass Prop M and many other wins for the San Francisco restaurant community. You can learn more about GGRA’s advocacy work here.
As we continue to navigate the restaurant industry post pandemic and the challenges surrounding it, we look forward with hope to a better 2025 for all.
Spring and Fall SF Restaurant Week:
As an active member you will receive the ability to participate in SF Restaurant Week, now held twice a year (Spring & Fall).
In 2025, we are excited to celebrate the 10th iteration of SF Restaurant Week. SF Restaurant Week was created to drive business to SF Restaurants in an otherwise slow season, as well as provide diners with discounted meals at their favorite SF establishments. We are proud to say that in 2024 we had over 200 participating restaurants and hope to continue to increase participation of both restaurants and consumers in 2025.
Active GGRA members will be eligible to participate in both SF Restaurant Weeks at no additional cost.

- Invitation to attend our Annual Members Reception
- Access to our free 2024 Model Employee Handbook, created specifically for restaurants ($3,000-$10,000 cost to have prepared by a lawyer)
