Part of the National Restaurant Awards, this initiative shines a spotlight on the chefs, front of house professionals, and sommeliers who are poised to become the future leaders of our industry.
Restaurants from across the country are encouraged to spare a moment to champion their hard working and deserving team members.
Those nominated will be independently judged, with successful individuals picked to be part of the NRA Rising Stars ‘Class of 2026’, which will be unveiled in February next year.
The ‘Class of 2026’ will be invited to attend a special lunch where they can network with their peers, and all class members will receive a trophy to mark their inclusion.
