All DiRoNA member restaurants also have copies of the guide to distribute to their patrons, especially those who travel frequently and want to experience unique, distinguished dining across the continent. The guide ensures discerning consumers can dine with confidence, knowing their dining experience will meet the rigorous standard of excellence DiRoNA membership represents.

In October of 2008 DHL pulled out of the U.S. domestic shipping market, including their pre-paid DHL envelope program. For years the National Association of Equipment Leasing Brokers had an arrangement that allowed them to sell the DHL pre-paid envelopes to their members at a discount. With DHL's sudden departure, the association and its members were left without a discounted shipping program. Almost immediately, the NAELB Member Benefits Committee and staff sprung into negotiations with FedEx and UPS to replace the DHL program. The result was a more comprehensive program with UPS to offer their pre-paid Next Day Air and Second Day Air labels at nearly 50% off standard shipping rates. The new UPS program launched in January 2009 to rave reviews from NAELB members. Over 1,500 labels were sold in the first week and the group expects to sell over 10,000 labels by year end.
