I went out to lunch with my co-worker today. We went to Café 180 in Englewood, CO. This is a unique eatery in the aspect that is lets you pay whatever you want for your food. If you can't pay, you can give 1 hour of service for food. They say "Give and Take. Pay it Forward. Support your Community." Their ingredients are fresh and mostly organic. I had a half Apple Walnut Salad, a half Turkey Bacon Spinach Wrap, and small Diet Coke so I donated $8.00. They also said I could have a complimentary cookie so I choose a Rocky Road Cookie. All the food was delicious.
Jon Bon Jovi also has a new restaurant, Soul Kitchen, in Red Bank NJ that is a similar concept that opened on October 19, 2011. They serve healthy, organic meals without prices on the menu. $10 is the minimum donation for a 3-course meal that includes a drink and dessert. If a customer can't pay, they can volunteer in some way to earn a voucher for a meal.
Panera Bread also has experimented with this concept with Panera Cares. The 1st opened around May 2010 in Clayton MO. I believe the 2nd was in Dearborn MI and 3rd was in Portland OR. Cash registers have been replaced by donation boxes. Customers can still place orders for fresh soup, sandwiches and salads with suggested donation amounts. Panera Cares suggests that those who can’t pay could also volunteer to work at the store for an hour or so to earn their meal.
