Alberta enjoys an extremely diverse and strong restaurant and foodservices industry. Our chefs rank with the best in the world, our products are recognized internationally, and our market is strong and thriving. However, a shrinking workforce, rising input costs, and government bylaws are just some of the issues that threaten the strength of our industry.
There's a number of reasons why Alberta's top restaurant and foodservices organizations have joined and are joining ARFA - the Alberta Restaurant and Foodservices Association:
- ARFA provides its membership with a unified voice representing their interests to government, media, the public and a variety of public councils.
- ARFA members meet, share ideas, and socialize by participating in a wide range of networking opportunities, ranging from the ARFEX tradeshow (the largest of its kind in Western Canada) to our annual Golf Tournaments.
- Membership in ARFA lowers the cost of doing business through a variety of partners in business membership discount programs.
- ARFA contributes to the development and health of the restaurant and foodservices industry through our scholarships funds, training programs, and marketing representation.
- Through our Web site and our magazine, "A Celebration of Alberta Cuisine" distributed to over 150,000 people in Alberta, ARFA provides its members with excellent advertising opportunities.
The bottom line? ARFA members have a competitive edge.
