Restaurant Ready Program

The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation’s (NRAEF) Restaurant Ready is a national program dedicated to helping people acquire the basic job and life skills necessary to pursue jobs in the restaurant industry and jumpstart a pathway to independence. Launched in 2016, the program originally focused on serving the nation’s opportunity youth: individuals between the ages of 16 and 24 who are not in school and/or employed. Since its launch, the curriculum has been effectively used with entry-level employees of all ages and from a wide variety of backgrounds and experience. Working with local community-based organizations, the Foundation currently operates Restaurant Ready programs in locations across the country.

How It Works
  • Partner community-based organizations provide training in six work-ready competency areas defined by the restaurant industry.
  • The competencies are designed to help participants acquire the skills, discipline and confidence to start a job and stay employed.
  • ​The community based organizations link individuals to local employers and provide wrap-around services to eliminate any barriers to success.
​Program Goals
  • Establish the restaurant industry as a suitable place for first jobs, and as a model of employment, development and advancement.
  • Foster collaboration between community-based organizations, state restaurant associations, and employers.
  • Secure additional resources to support people not currently connected to school or work.
  • Provide a national standard assessment for job-readiness skills.
