How USRA can help you today!

A quick  overview of the services that we can offer you now.

Watch the presentation

SBA loans

The good news is that the CARES Act was agreed upon quickly.  The bad news is that the funding fell short initially and that there were a LOT of administrative issues.

We assume that these funding and administrative issues will be fixed shortly and will be glad to explain how we can help you take advantage of the next round.

GPO services

The US Restaurant Alliance is now affiliated with a group purchasing organization that will leverage the buying power of our members to negotiate significant cost savings and rebates on their behalf.

Takeout, delivery & meal kits

Until dine-in service is approved, the only way for you to generate revenues is to enable customers to order online for takeout, delivery or meal kits.  We can help you set that up with recommendations and the best vendors.

Watch the presentation

Modified dine-in services

As the economy reopens, restaurants will be able to offer modified dine-in services.  We will help you to understand the recommendations and how to implement them correctly.

Guerrilla marketing

Whether you are offering takeout, delivery or modified dine-in services ... you will need to get the word out to your loyal customers and potential prospects.  We can help you with both.

Watch the presentation

Manage your cash flow

For the next year or so, restaurants will have to manage their cash flow better than ever before.  We can give you guidance on how to create a cash flow plan, how to initiate extreme cost cutting and how to calculate your breakeven point.

Increase revenues per customer

Even with a gradual reopening of the economy and dine-in services, customer counts will likely be lower.  We can help you to initiate strategies to improve your revenues per customer.

Their mission

The Independent Restaurant Coalition (IRC) was  formed to save the local restaurants affected by COVID-19. IRC is  founded on the simple belief that there is power to affect legislative  change if we unite our voice.


This national movement is quickly  growing and EVERYONE is welcome to join. Together, as small businesses  across this country, we represent up to 4% of the nation's GDP.


For  the 11 million people across the country employed by restaurants — and  the hundreds of millions of workers up and down the food supply and  delivery chain who depend on restaurants — these small businesses cannot  fail.
