We’re looking forward to welcoming thousands of restaurant and hospitality professionals from across Texas. Safe travels—and we’ll see you in San Antonio! 🤠🍽️

There has never been a more important time to be involved with the Texas Restaurant Association.

From labor shortages and rising costs to changing regulations, economic uncertainty, and evolving consumer expectations, our industry is facing unprecedented challenges. The TRA advocates for restaurants at every level of government, provides timely education and resources, and connects operators with the products, services, and peers they need to succeed.

The Texas Restaurant Show brings all of that together in one place—offering practical solutions, expert insights, and valuable networking that can help your business thrive in today’s rapidly changing environment.

TRA members attend the Texas Restaurant Show at no cost—but if you’re a Texas restaurant or bar operator who isn’t yet a member, I’d love to invite you to experience it for yourself.

See firsthand what it means to have an organization advocating for your business, connecting you with money-saving solutions, innovative technology, industry experts, and a community of operators facing the same challenges you are.

Email me, and I’ll send you a complimentary registration code to attend the show this Sunday and Monday in downtown San Antonio. I’d love to welcome you!

📅 Texas Restaurant Show: Sunday & Monday, July 12–13
