Founded in 1936 by restaurateurs, the Golden Gate Restaurant Association brings together Bay Area restaurants to advocate for their interests and provide education, marketing support, events, and training. It has evolved into the principal representation and a trusted resource for the regional culinary community, engaging with policy issues at City Hall and offering training to keep members informed about evolving legislation and compliance requirements. The association also highlights its members through major events such as Eat Drink SF and SF Restaurant Week, supported by a network of resources that aid restaurants at different stages of growth. Based in San Francisco, California, GGRA serves restaurants of all sizes and operates with a relatively small staff. In March 2023, it announced a new slate of participating eateries and special menus for the spring edition of San Francisco Restaurant Week.
