Cafe Model Partner Research

-

  • https://www.oneworldeverybodyeats.org OWEE would be a great organisation to partner with because my cafe model is a development and improvement on their model (as seen in the cafe research post). But also I would like to partner with a profitable company to help with costs and such. 

  • http://www.freshdirect.co.nz Fresh Direct would be a good to partner with but I think for smaller towns/villages which is where I want to focus, would work better with bringing in product from local farmers rather than a big corporation. 

  • http://ripecoffee.co.nz  Ripe would work perfectly with the cafe idea, bringing in sustainable coffee beans from West Java, Indonesia and Panama. They work closely with the people growing and collecting the beans. The company is New Zealand based so it would be easy to bring in the beans as well as set up financial meetings. 

In the end I have chosen to partner with Ripe as well as work along side with OWEE.

With their pay-what-you-can pricing, community cafes make healthy food available to people who couldn’t afford to eat at a regular restaurant. Unlike soup kitchens, which simply give away food to the poor, community cafes give people a chance to work in exchange for a meal, so they don’t feel like they’re taking charity. As a bonus, ...

Cafe Model Rejig Ideas

Touch Points; Only fresh, locally grown produce as well as freshly made bread and such Helping out poorer families and the homeless with easily worked for food All food scraps are donated to local pig farms The cafe is the centre pin of the community It houses a system which  people  can  donate  Pin Board which people can post about needing or offering services Final Production Idea; I want to create the trading board that will be in the cafe where people can come and trade services/products for other services/products in action. So the actual produce would be a gif/set of images of the board being used (time-lapse?).
