Cost-cutting Association programs

One-stop shop: How to cut costs with Washington Hospitality Association programs

By Morgan Huether 

Our goal is to provide programs that have annual savings equal to the average yearly membership investment, at a minimum.

  1. Business Insurance
    1. Average savings: 22% of existing premium*
    2. We leveraged our collective buying power to bring members the same coverage or better than your current business insurance for less than you’re paying now.
  2. Payments Processing and Terminals
    1. Average savings: $3,400* per year
    2. Your customers expect to be able to pay with a credit or debit card, but which payment processing solution is right for you? We’ve partnered with U.S. Bank/Elavon to bring you a program that allows you the flexibility you need to be successful. No long-term contract, attentive customer service and a negotiated fixed rate means less hassle and more savings. As of 2019, this program also has options for terminals and point of sale systems that include pay-at-the-table options and other tech-forward solutions that can make your business cutting edge.
  3. RETRO
    1. The Hospitality Retrospective Rating program (RETRO) serves the most locations in the state bringing massive value to members who keep their workplaces safe. Members of the RETRO program have access to: light duty/return-to-work options, claims and safety assistance, training webinars, a customized accident prevention program, mock safety inspections and more. Plus, RETRO members historically pay less up front in worker’s comp taxes than those businesses not in the program and may also receive a refund should their claims costs be less than their premiums paid.
    2. Typical refund is 16% of standard premium. The Hospitality Retro average is 24% since program inception.
    3. TOTAL RETRO refund distributed winter 2019: $10,821,399
  4. Business Supplies
    1. Average savings: Up to 80% off MSLP (Manufacturer Suggested List Price)*
    2. Business supply shopping is a better with up to 80% off on hundreds of commonly used industry supplies. This free program also includes free next-day delivery on orders over $50.
