The deadline is soon: Take the National Restaurant Association's survey🕰️

We’ve begged. We’ve pleaded. Take the National Restaurant Association operations survey…today!

You may have seen this survey a few times before (like last week and the week prior 😉), but it’s only because it’s vital we get as much input as possible.

For fewer than 20 minutes of your time, you get a copy of the most widely recognized source of restaurant operating data in the U.S. for your own use.

Furthermore, as policy makers create and propose new legislation, we want to make sure our industry’s voice is heard and this is a great opportunity to do just that.

So, take the survey…and maybe just maybe you won’t have to see it again!

Any questions? Contact Bruce Grindy at bgrindy@restaurant.org.

Washington Hospitality Association membership survey!

Over the next several months, the association will be conducting a phone survey of our membership. This is your opportunity to provide us direct feedback on a variety of topics including government affairs, programs and services, topics you’d like us to address in our communications and membership satisfaction.

This phone survey will take approximately 15 minutes of your time, and is being conducted by Verometrics. The callers will identify themselves as such. If you have any questions related to the survey, please contact Sheryl Jackson, sherylj@wahospitality.org.

More than medical benefits

When medical health insurance isn’t an option, you can still add other options to your employee benefits. Dental, vision, and mental health care for example, are all benefits in demand by employees. Get a quote today to have a plan in place by Jan. 1, 2024.
