About Us

The Mission of the Association is to support and advance the image, growth and profitability of member companies through education of and collaboration with the RMDA association members and the restaurant industry. We are a dynamic and proactive organization which is the only organization worldwide that represents the $400 million restaurant marketing & delivery industry.

Bruce Brown formed the RMDA in the early 1990’s. After driving around theUnited States and meeting different owners of RDS’s, he saw the need for an association to bring together people in our industry. The first meeting was held in Chicago, Illinois. The Convention is the ‘Mecca’ of the RDS world and an amazing source of knowledge! Over the years, the annual convention has had several locations including Chicago, IL, Orlando, FL & Las Vegas, NV. It has been held in conjunction with the Intenational Pizza Expo and with the International Restaurant & Hotel Convention. We hope to see you at the next convention!  

For the future, the RMDA wishes to continue to support and advance the image, growth and profitability of member companies. We want to unite the industry, as much as is possible and work together to make restaurant delivery as popular as pizza delivery has become. As an Active member in the RMDA, you can help us achieve that!
