EVENT UPDATE: REGISTRATION FOR RESTAURANT DAY CLOSED ON FRIDAY, APRIL 12 AND WE HAVE REACHED ATTENDEE CAPACITY. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT ON THE WAITLIST, EMAIL GMCLAUGHLIN@CALREST.ORG.

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Restaurant Day at the Capitol is an invaluable opportunity for restaurateurs to speak with their legislators about significant policy proposals that impact the statewide restaurant community. Among the top legislative proposals we anticipate seeing this year include:

- WAGE IMPACTS
- MANDATORY ELECTRONIC RECEIPTS
- PAID SICK LEAVE EXPANSION
- EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION BAN
- PRESERVE GUEST LOYALTY PROGRAMS
- SUGAR SWEETENED BEVERAGES- RESTAURANT CONSUMER WARNINGS, TAXES, AND SALES LIMITATIONS
- PROPOSAL TO LOWER BLOOD ALCOHOL LIMIT TO .05

If you are a restaurateur who shares concern over these issues, we invite you to Restaurant Day. Come share your story with legislators on how these proposals could impact your business!

The event includes an issue briefing with CRA staff, a strategy session with fellow attendees and group meetings with your legislators. Every attendee will receive a legislative meeting schedule based on your business location(s). You will attend your meetings with fellow restaurateurs and likely a CRA staff person.

To help prepare our attendees, we are offering two informational webinars prior to the event on March 19 and April 3. The webinars will be a helpful way to learn about Restaurant Day tips, guidelines and 2019's hot legislative issues.

Additionally, we are excited to invite you to our free evening event, Night Cap at the Cap. At this event, you can enjoy live music, hosted drinks and small bites highlighting the Sacramento restaurant community. Take the opportunity to continue your conversations with elected officials and network with your fellow attendees. Register for Night Cap at the Cap here.
