MORE Information

We are a first-of-its-kind coalition of organizations with a shared vision of a restaurant industry that’s thriving, equitable, and enduring. MORE’s mission is to reduce silos, drive innovative solutions, and accelerate the collective impact of our member organizations with a focus on advancing economic mobility and workplace protections. As a coalition, we support the goals of our members and provide resources, programming, partnerships, and research, fostering a dynamic community of changemakers. Our members are led by innovators developing and implementing solutions and services aimed at industry transformation. For too long, these organizations have been isolated in silos, without the benefit of shared resources and best practices from peers. We are changing that by building a connected, collaborative network across organizations, unlocking new opportunities for shared learning, expanded programming, and creative partnerships. We believe that by coming together to harness the work already underway we can drive enormous social and economic impact for all our stakeholders - workers, operators, employers, adjacent industries, policy makers, and the communities they serve. Together, we are MORE.
