MISSION
Supporting and championing independent restaurants in Southern Arizona through collaboration, education, community, and promotion.
VISION
To become the model for how independent restaurants build stronger teams, stronger businesses, and stronger communities.
RESTAURANTS PARTNERS
TOR's restaurant partnership program supports Tucson "originals" - local, independently-owned businesses that are headquartered in the Greater Tucson area and unaffiliated with a national company or franchise.
Partner benefits include access to educational resources, subject matter experts, marketing opportunities, community events, direct revenue from Instagift, and more. If you're a chef or owner-operator looking to expand your network, build your collective bargaining power and join an alliance of other like-minded restaurants - we'd love to work with you!

COMMUNITY EVENTS
Community events have been a part of TOR for as long as the organization has existed - almost three decades! These events include long-running classics like Pizza Throwdown and newer concepts like A Purely Vegan Affair. Each event typically spotlights 10-12 member restaurants, who are tasked with creating 1-2 small plates exclusive to the event for a cookoff-style competition.

GIFT CARDS
TOR has partnered with Instagift, the industry leader in e-gift card sales, to create a single gift card for our member restaurants. These cards can be redeemed at any member location and never expire. Additionally, 95% of revenue generated by Instagift sales returns directly to members - meaning every purchase is an effective way to keep your dollars local and support independently owned businesses.
Have a question about your gift card? Need some help with it?
