What we have won
The Alliance is fighting in the halls of government for policies that support our city’s restaurant and nightlife industry. We advocate to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens, streamline the permit and licensing process, cut the red tape, and represent the industry’s perspective on proposed laws, regulations, trends, and other matters impacting restaurant and nightlife establishments.
