The National Restaurant Association (NRA) is the largest foodservice trade association in the world*—supporting over 500,000 restaurant businesses. In partnership with our state restaurant associations, we work every day to empower all restaurant owners and operators to achieve more than they thought possible.
 

We represent and advocate for foodservice industry interests—taking on financial and regulatory obstacles before they hit our members’ bottom line. We provide tools and systems that help members of all sizes get significantly better operating results. And we offer the kinds of networking, education and research resources that are only possible because of our vast, and active, membership base.
 

We save our members time, money and headaches by helping them take on what matters most for their success and growth—whether that’s protecting their economic interests, sharing best practices, or getting them in front of emerging trends.

We strive to move our industry forward by finding answers to the tough questions, distilling complex information into practical knowledge and helping our members navigate the issues that can leave them in the weeds. And that makes us the go-to resource for smart, relevant intelligence that helps our members run their businesses better.

At the NRA, we believe that there is strength in numbers. When we come together as an industry, our collective voice is stronger and our impact is greater than when any of us stands alone. And that means our shared spirit of hospitality, passion for serving others and belief in the American entrepreneurial dream will be safeguarded and advanced.

Paperwork sucks. As restaurant owners, we knew it. As technologists, we knew we could fix it.
 
Paperwork does just… well, suck. We know you think so too. We know this because we felt the same way! Bo and Roy, two of our founders, have more than 40 combined years of restaurant experience and built and operated over 25 restaurants around the US. 

Bo is the founder of Wasabi restaurants, a group of modern Japanese conveyor belt sushi restaurants, while Roy was a Joint Venture Partner within Bloomin’ Brands, most recently building and operating 15 Bonefish Grill locations. Though they had very different operating backgrounds, both struggled with the same frustrating invoice flow, inventory and recipe updating, unpredictable P&L timing and unending administrative details. 

The story might have stopped there with restaurant operators and some dreaming, but – plot twist – Bo was a successful tech entrepreneur before a successful restaurateur! Building custom solutions to real-world problems was in his blood. So, he began brainstorming creative solutions to reduce restaurant paperwork and increase operating efficiencies, and he did this not only with Roy but also with long-time colleagues, friends, and successful technologists Mike and Sam. Together with Bo and Roy, the team had not just deep restaurant expertise but also more than three decades of tech company management between them.

From our combined team and our unique combination of experience, MarginEdge was born. It was clear from the earliest days that our platform struck a chord with owners and operators of all kinds, and in less than a couple of years of exposure, we’ve already had a fantastic time helping hundreds of restaurants solve the very same operational challenges Bo and Roy first saw while running their own restaurants. 

Now, with teams in Washington, D.C., Arizona and New York, we are excited about continuing to expand nationally, bringing the company’s unique vision to countless more full-service, quick-service, franchise and nightlife concepts throughout the country.
