The Connecticut Restaurant Association (CRA) has launched a brand-new website and member interface, marking a significant step forward in how we serve and engage with our members. This long-anticipated upgrade aims to provide a more seamless and user-friendly experience, offering expanded resources, enhanced communication and streamlined access to membership benefits.
As the leading advocate for Connecticut’s restaurant and food-service industries, CRA continuously evolves to meet the changing needs of our members. The new Member Compass allows members to navigate resources more efficiently, stay up to date with industry news and access exclusive discounts, advocacy updates and networking opportunities with convenience and ease.
The new site brings a wealth of improved functionality, helping members and industry professionals enjoy a smoother, more intuitive experience, with everything available at one’s fingertips! The Latest News area provides an easy go-to location for members to stay informed about legislative developments affecting the industry and to take action when needed, access the latest industry news, new member exclusive savings, job postings and more.
The new CRA site is yet another steppingstone to bettering the services we provide to the industry. Find us at ctrestaurant.org. Lots of exciting features are coming, stay tuned!
