Why Is the RMDA Important to Pizza?

Although the Restaurant Marketing Delivery Association (RMDA) has been around for 20 years, it didn’t take off like a rocket until there was an overwhelming need for it to exist. After national restaurant delivery services (RDS) like DoorDash, Uber Eats and Postmates created the software and systems that made restaurant delivery services more viable, the RMDA noticed a surge—then a tidal wave—of new membership, as mom-and-pop restaurant delivery services realized they could compete favorably with their national counterparts by focusing on local restaurant partners and their end customers.

If you’re interested in partnering with a local RDS to bolster your current delivery staffing needs, go to localdelivery.org to find one near you.

Meanwhile, here’s a look at some key exhibitors we discovered at this year’s event, held April 24 to 27 in Nashville, Tennessee.
