Whether you are an independent restaurant owner or operate one location of a large chain organization, the SCRLA exists for you. The real dollar value of SCRLA membership far exceeds the cost of dues, even if you only consider the cost of the political representation we provide. You will find that membership with the SCRLA is one of the best investments you can make for your business.

Restaurant membership is available to individual owner/operators and groups of restaurants, bars and taverns. Dues begin at $300 annually and are calculated based on the restaurant's annual food and beverage sales.

Membership with the SCRLA offers a variety of benefits, including free membership with both the National Restaurant Association and local chapters around the state.
