Since 2016, the Iowa Restaurant Association’s Stars of Hospitality program has recognized exceptional individuals who have dedicated 20 or more consecutive years to a single restaurant, company, or hospitality group.
These team members are the backbone of our industry, providing consistency, professionalism, and a commitment to service that deserves celebration.
Do you have employees who have been with your business for 20+ years?
We’d love to honor them in person with a custom Stars of Hospitality plaque.
