We're partnering with the Texas Restaurant Association to launch the TRA Corporate Card, a first-of-its-kind modern corporate card built just for Texan restaurants
We’re excited to announe a major partnership with the Texas Restaurant Association.
Together, we are launching the TRA Corporate Card for Restaurants - the Official Corporate Card of the Texas Restaurant Association.
Powered by Tab Commerce, the TRA Corporate Card is the first of its kind corporate card built just for Texan restaurants. It unifies the benefits of a modern corporate card, powerful spend control software, and the leading business association for the $106 billion Texas restaurant industry.
"The TRA Corporate Card will put significant cash back in the pockets of Texan restaurants while enhancing financial control & profitability. The TRA is committed to the success of restaurants across Texas and our partnership with Tab Commerce furthers that mission."
- Emily Williams Knight, Ed.D., President & CEO, Texas Restaurant Association

Background:
We started working with the Texas Restaurant Association in early 2023 when we were still entirely based in Toronto. Over the last 17 months, we've spent a ton of time with the TRA team. From their incredible events at the National Restaurant Association Conference in Chicago to the TRA Show in San Antonio, and plenty of lunches and dinners at their member's restaurants in between. The energy of this organization is unparalleled and this is clearly seen in the success they've had driving positive change for Texan restaurants.
We believed so much in the TRA's work that it was a significant driver in our decision to move to Austin and open our first US office here, just a few blocks away from the TRA HQ.
We're incredibly excited for this partnership and to continue working alongside restaurants across the Great state of Texas.

Get started in minutes with no credit checks or personal liability. The Tab Card works just like any other corporate card but with the benefits of powerful spend control software built just for restaurants.
Access to the Tab Corporate Card and basic platform capabilities is free for the first 3 locations. After 3 locations, a flat fee of $25 per month per active location is applied. No hidden fees, ever. See Pricing.
Anywhere that Visa is accepted (most places). Most restaurant vendors accept cards, but some might only be available upon request.
Purchasing Cards are the same as corporate cards but can be easily assigned and segregated to a single location for all spending across food, beverage, repairs, technology, and more.
Manager Cards are the same as corporate cards but can be easily assigned to a single employee for any business-related expenses they incur. Each card is embedded with powerful controls and limits.
You can create as many users as you would like. You can have Admins who can do everything across all locations and Employees who can only see the cards that you have assigned them. Managing this is incredibly easy from within the Tab Platform.
First of, you don’t need to stop using any existing cards, you can use both. Existing corporate cards are likely credit-based, lack controls like limits, have limited software, and often only provide a single card.
This means that the card is likely only used for a portion of your total spending and is at high risk for fraud. Tab provides powerful software designed so the Tab Card can be used for the bulk of yours pending, meaning you maximize control and visibility, while earning cash back.
