The City of Austin is reviewing restaurant permit fees and is asking for community feedback.

The current 9-tier system (Option 1) — created by the Austin restaurant community — is a fair, transparent, and balanced structure for Austin’s diverse restaurant community.

We’ve been working with the City since August to ensure local restaurant voices are represented in this process, and we support keeping the 9-tier system in place.

Your feedback matters! Take a few minutes to complete the City’s survey and make your voice heard:

The 2025 Swing for Scholarships Golf Tournament wasn’t just about a great day on the course, it was about giving back to the future of hospitality.

On site, we proudly awarded $3,000 in scholarship funds:
- $2,000 to the Hutto ISD Culinary Arts Program to support their incredible program.
- $1,000 to an individual student to further his education and career in hospitality.

These scholarships are more than just financial support, they’re an investment in the next generation of hospitality leaders. Events like this make a real difference, and we’re so thankful to everyone who played, sponsored, and supported.

Together, we’re building a brighter future for our industry.
