Stars of Hospitality

In 2016 the Iowa Restaurant Association inaugurated the Stars of Hospitality Program to celebrate people who have made a career in the restaurant industry by working at a single establishment and/or for a company for 20+ consecutive years. We recognize the importance of these team members to your business, but also celebrate the professionalism they exhibit day in and day out.

We want to visit your establishment to present Stars of Hospitality plaques to your 20+ year team members. Submit your employees via e-mail to jjensen@restaurantiowa.com
