How U.R.A Works

You sign up to become part of a growing network of independent restaurants, bars, and cafes.

Most independent restaurants are overpaying by 10–25% on essential expenses like food, payroll processing, merchant services, linens, chemicals, insurance, and equipment repairs—simply because they don’t have the collective buying power that big chains use to negotiate better rates. By joining the United Restaurant Alliance, you instantly tap into pre-negotiated group pricing with top vendors across every major cost category. From lowering your food and beverage invoices to slashing credit card processing fees and reducing utility costs through vetted partners, URA helps you keep more money in your pocket without changing your vendors or sacrificing quality. It's like having a corporate purchasing department fighting to lower your costs—without the corporate price tag.

We Analyze Your Costs

Our analysts go line by line through your invoices and compare them against:

  • Benchmark pricing from similar businesses

  • Bulk-rate pricing we’ve already negotiated

  • Industry averages for your type of business

 We identify where you’re overpaying and what savings are possible.

We Negotiate Better Rates

Once we spot the savings opportunities:

  • We negotiate directly with your vendors OR

  • Offer you alternative vendors at discounted rates

  • We do this based on group purchasing volume — you’re part of a buying coalition now

The more businesses in the group, the more leverage we have.
