Member Testimonials

Arnold’s Bar & Grill

“We are proud to be ORA members - and probably one of the oldest members.  Arnold's has been in business since 1861 and we use ORA for group rating and keeping up with political issues that influence our industry.  Keep up the good work!” - Ronda and Bret Androski, Arnold’s Bar & Grill, Cincinnati

Ashland-Wooster Drive In

“I belong to the ORA for its communications services, including a la Carte and News Bites.  They help me stay informed about what is going on in the restaurant industry, so I can better run my business.” - Steve Bemiller, Ashland-Wooster Drive In, Ashland

John Q’s Steakhouse

“The Ohio Restaurant Association is the only organization in Ohio whose sole mission is to advocate on behalf of the restaurant industry.  I feel like the ORA truly has the best interests of my business in mind when their staff lobbies our state lawmakers and bureaucrats.” – Rick Cassara, John Q’s Steakhouse, Cleveland

KFC/Bagshaw Enterprises

"We invest in ORA Membership because by ourselves we have a small voice, but, collectively, the voices of the 2,000+ members leverage us into a larger presence. We can all accomplish so much more working together to improve our industry and the environment in which we do business." –  Jennifer Priskorn, KFC/Bagshaw Enterprises, Hillsboro

Mudflats Bar & Grill

“Mudflats invested in our ORA membership to take advantage of the 'satellite opportunities' such as group ratings for worker's compensation, music affiliation memberships and more. What we have learned since joining is how much they can offer a small restaurant in terms of industry news locally and nationally, as well as how broadly ORA lobbies for restaurant related issues in Washington,  DC. Thanks for all of your help!” – Jane White, Mudflats Bar & Grill, Galena

RCO Limited; A Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers Franchisee

"Like many of you, I’ve been seated on the side lines…uninvolved in the ORA…merely paying my dues during my 29 years in the restaurant industry. This year changed everything…I have witnessed the momentum behind Washington policies and legislation that threaten my business. The ONLY way to affect change is to get involved. I now realize that I MUST make time to get involved in some way…so should you!"

"Every Ohio restaurateur who cares about the future of our industry as we know it…must get involved with the ORA and make your voice heard today!" – Roy Getz, RCO Limited; A Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers Franchisee, Grandview Heights
