NYC lawmakers aim to protect fast food workers from unfair firings

Yesterday, the NYS Restaurant Association testified against legislation aimed at limiting how quick service restaurants are able to let go of their employees. The Association views these bills as a large government overreach and will continue to voice our concerns with the sponsors of these bills.

Text Message Marketing: Annoying, Brilliant or Both?

The technology we use for marketing is developing at a rapid pace. Things that seemed like science fiction even a few years ago, like artificial intelligence-driven campaigns and virtual reality experiences, are now mainstream.

Sometimes, this means that we can forget about one of the most basic technologies of all: the humble text message. Marketing via SMS can seem like an old-fashioned way to go about things, but it's not. It actually can be an  effective marketing tool .

Come celebrate the industry with us!
Monday, March 9, 2020 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Craft, NYC.

Come together with industry leaders and NYSRA members for a fun evening with fabulous hors d'ouevres and wine provided by the New York Wine & Grape Foundation.

Space is limited. RSVP Here.
