We define local sourcing as ingredients from farms, ranches, dairies, and producers within your state or regional area. We verify your sourcing relationships during the approval process.
We calculate based on the number of menu categories you source locally (beef, pork, chicken, seafood, breads, produce, dairy, desserts, appetizers). Green badges = 75%+ local, Orange = 50-74%, Red = under 50%.
You'll need your restaurant name, address, contact information, a description of your local sourcing practices, and details about which categories you source locally.
Not at all — we welcome all restaurants, regardless of how much local sourcing you currently do. If you're just getting started or want to source more locally but aren't sure where to begin, we can help. BetterSource maintains a network of local producers and can connect you with suppliers in your area. The more local you source, the stronger your badge — and we're here to help you get there.
Most applications are approved within 24–48 hours. Depending on verification, it may take up to 7 days. We'll contact you if we need any additional information.
