History & Vision

Celebrating 90 years serving the Ohio foodservice industry!

Founded in 1920, the Ohio Restaurant Association is backed with more than 90 years of industry experience. Through our commitment, experience and expertise, the Ohio Restaurant Association is dedicated to representation, education, assistance and promotion of the Ohio restaurant industry.

Since the association's inception, the Ohio Restaurant Association has been committed to providing Ohio's food service professionals with everything they need to run their businesses. As the only statewide organization with a full-time lobbyist and political advocacy program devoted exclusively to the foodservice industry, the ORA remains focused on serving its members.

One example of the ORA's efforts on behalf of its members was its successful efforts on paid sick leave. Through its work alone, the ORA has saved the average restaurateur approximately $10,000 - $20,000 annually. Thus, restaurant operators have more money in their pockets at a time when every little bit helps.
