About the Today’s Restaurant Virtual Networking Group

Restaurant owners can be confident that they are buying from reputable companies in our group! Call today and come to our next meeting! 561.620.8888

The Today’s Restaurant Networking Group is an exclusive group of vendors who provide a service or a product to restaurants in Florida and beyond.

Each product category is limited to only one member which fosters the open and free discussion of sales leads and customer introductions with no fear of competition from another member. Members make the commitment to attend the required weekly meetings to protect their exclusive seat at the table.

Information provided by the members can include Restaurant Openings, Restaurants Under Construction, New Owners, Restaurant Closings, Introductions and other exclusive private information.

Guest speakers and members are invited to address the group through-out the year to educate and familiarize the members about the products or services fellow members provide.

Existing restaurant owners or future restaurant owners are invited to attend our virtual meetings, by appointment only, to meet our members and establish a working relationship with them with the full knowledge that the vendor is going to do the job correctly, on time and for the right price. To be invited call 561 620-8888 or send an email to howard@trnusa.com.

Membership Dues are collected at the start of each quarter and include a listing in the group ad, Social Media postings and a listing in weekly e-blasts.

The Today’s Restaurant Networking Group holds to the premise that “People like to do business with people they know and trust” An introduction from one of our members can increase sales by 80%. Join us in learning and growing your sales.

There are two Chapters:
• Chapter 1 meeting is every Friday at 11AM
• Chapter 2 meeting is every Friday at 9AM

Vendors interested in joining the group should contact Howard at 561-620-8888 or howard@trnusa.com before attending to make sure the “Seat” is available with no conflict.
