This resolution commends the restaurant industry in Georgia, highlighting its significant economic impact and importance to the state. The resolution recognizes that Georgia's restaurant sector comprises over 23,000 establishments, generates more than $30.1 billion annually, and provides over 500,000 jobs, with the majority being independently owned small businesses. It emphasizes the Georgia Restaurant Association's role in advocacy and education, and notes that the association's foundation promotes food safety and job skills through programs like ServSafe® and ProStart®. The resolution also points out that fifty percent of Georgia adults have worked in the restaurant industry, providing valuable job skills. By designating February 26, 2025, as State Restaurant Day at the state capitol, the resolution aims to recognize the industry's contributions to economic growth, local tax revenue, and overall quality of life in Georgia. The House of Representatives will officially commend the restaurant industry and direct the House Clerk to distribute a copy of the resolution to the Georgia Restaurant Association.
