Why You Should Join the United Restaurant Alliance

Trying to negotiate lower costs for food, payroll, merchant services, or insurance on your own puts you at a serious disadvantage. Vendors give their best pricing to corporate chains because of their volume — not to independent operators.

But when you join URA, you're no longer standing alone.

You're backed by the buying power of hundreds of restaurants — giving you the same negotiation strength and benefits as national brands.

Here’s Why You Should Join URA:

  • Group Buying Power
    Get access to national pricing and preferred vendor rates — the same deals the big chains get.

  • No More Overpaying
    We audit your invoices and find where you're losing money — then we help you fix it.

  • Keep Your Independence
    Stay in full control of your business. No contracts, no forced vendor changes.

  • Save Thousands Every Month

 A Community That Has Your Back

No fluff . No politics. Just real help from people who understand your grind

 

 

The United Restaurant Alliance (URA) is a powerful coalition of independent restaurants, cafés, bars, and food trucks working together to reduce costs, improve operations, and stay competitive in today’s economy.

While big corporate chains negotiate lower prices by buying in bulk, most local restaurants are left paying full price — or worse. URA levels the playing field by giving independent owners access to pre-negotiated rates on food, supplies, payroll, merchant processing, insurance, equipment repairs, HVAC, linens, chemicals, and more.

We’re not a sales company. We’re restaurant owners just like you — uniting to protect our profits, simplify operations, and secure our future through collective buying power, vendor partnerships, and community support.

Whether you own a taco shop, smoothie bar, café, or full-service restaurant, URA helps you save time, money, and stress — so you can focus on what matters: running a great business.
