Case Study: National Restaurant Association drives industry insights and advocacy with IMPLAN

National Restaurant Association uses IMPLAN for state, congressional district, and metro-level economic insights

The National Restaurant Association needed to accurately demonstrate the economic impact of the restaurant industry to support its advocacy and inform its members. While traditional data sources provided some insights, they lacked the necessary detail for state and local-level analysis. The Association turned to the vendor IMPLAN for its comprehensive economic modeling service to address this challenge.

IMPLAN provided the National Restaurant Association with a user-friendly, in-house solution for conducting detailed economic impact analyses. This enabled the Association to quickly model the effects of proposed legislation, such as changes to labor costs, and demonstrate the ripple effects on the broader economy. As a result, the NRA strengthened its advocacy efforts with precise data, improved decision-making for its members, and gained the ability to produce credible, consistent reports without relying on external consultants.
