History & Milestones

ARDA is advancing through a phased development path:

Phase One: Rooted in the Chinese Restaurant Community

Integrating restaurant brands, supply chains, technology, capital, media and community resources; establishing the Association's governance structure, professional committees and local chapter network.

Phase Two: Expanding Across the Asian-American Restaurant Sector

Forming a cross-regional, cross-ethnic industry network and growing the membership base and partner network.

Phase Three: International Growth

Growing into an international industry organization serving the U.S. restaurant industry and global culinary exchange.
