Industry association for restaurants, hospitality, and foodservice operators
The National Restaurant Association represents over 1 million foodservice locations across the US. The tech stack—NetSuite, .NET/C#, SQL Server, Angular/React—reflects a mission-driven org balancing content delivery (ServSafe training, Articulate/SCORM) with regulatory and policy tooling. Hiring velocity is accelerating across product and public affairs, with active recruitment for a Technical Lead and Technology Policy Director, suggesting the Association is scaling internal capabilities to support both member-facing services and government relations work.
