Thank you for your interest in joining the Independent Restaurant Coalition in our National Independent Restaurant and Bars Month fundraiser, Dine Out for Independents.
Education and resources are two of our priorities for this month. In a way to bridge them both, we’ve created a program to drive consumers to their local independent restaurants and bars, and help us continue our advocacy efforts and raise funds to keep our membership prices affordable for those in our industry that want to join the Coalition.
How It Works
For one week this month, we're raising funds to keep membership affordable and drive customers to independent restaurants and bars. Here’s how you can participate:
- Add $1 to any menu item, food or drink from October 20 - 27.
- Contribute the funds raised to support IRC’s ongoing advocacy efforts.
