There are countless ways you can spread kindness on Pay-It-Forward Day. One World Everybody Eats hopes you will spend part of your day at one of its independent cafes. But regardless, the organization hopes you spark kindness that lasts all year long!

One World Everybody Eats Commends EAT Café and Highlights Non-Profit Restaurant Challenges

One World Everybody Eats Commends EAT Café and Highlights Non-Profit Restaurant Challenges

As we say goodbye to Drexel University’s EAT Café we commend the University for the work it has done in West Philadelphia.  Thousands of people ate, gave, and supported EAT Café and its community.   

Pay-what-you-can restaurants are not exempt from the same challenges of traditional restaurants.  According to the University of Ohio, 60% of traditional restaurants fail in the first year, and 80% of traditional restaurants fail in 5 years. 

Nonprofit restaurants have added restrictions on access to capital; pressure to immediately build community; and expectations to solve large social issues, while also operating a fully functional restaurant.  This is why nonprofit restaurants need extra support including grants, fundraising, and organizations like One World Everybody Eats.

The Denverite Highlights SAME Cafe's Mobile Mission

The Denverite Highlights SAME Cafe's Mobile Mission

Donna Bryson, of Denver Colorado’s Denverite writes about One World Everybody Eat’s Cafe, S.A.M.E. Cafe, as they launch their food truck!

“Reubendale said the crowds at the East Colfax site tucked between a hair salon and a bakery have made clear the 13-year-old enterprise needed to expand. But it could cost as much as $500,000 to open a new brick-and-mortar restaurant. He budgeted $120,000 for buying and outfitting the food truck and staffing and supplying it for a year, during which he can scout locations, refine planning and rally support for a second restaurant site.”
