Membership

As we look forward to the new year, we ask that you stand with us to support and advocate for Massachusetts-owned restaurants. This is no small fete. With your help, our members can continue to do business and continue to be a part of our communities across the Commonwealth. By supporting MRU, you are ensuring that small independent restaurants get the representation they need and in turn serve their communities.

Let’s make sure our industry allies make it to 2024 and beyond.

Our membership tiers are tailored to serve all sectors of the hospitality ecosystem — from individual restaurant workers and owners to service providers and large-scale trade partners. Whether you’re an independent operator seeking policy support, a vendor eager to reach the industry, or a sponsor looking to invest in the community, there’s a place for you in MRU. Each level offers unique benefits to maximize engagement, visibility, and impact.
