"Becoming Carbon Friendly Dining Certified adds huge value not just for the customers but for the business, and it boosts morale for the staff as well. Overall it’s something that benefits absolutely everybody."
It all starts with a small, optional contribution added to diners' bills. From there, the benefits reach further than you might think. Here's who benefits, and how:
Demonstrate social responsibility at zero cost to your restaurant. For every £1.23/ €1.45 contributed by diners, a GiftTree is planted in your the developing world. For every five or six (UK/EU) trees planted, you get one credit to spend on Lightspeed tools that benefit your business.
Your diners are willing to spend more if it means contributing to causes they believe in. Retain eco-conscious customers by instilling a sense of empowerment each time they eat with you.
Each £1.23/ €1.45 guarantees the planting of a tree in a forest garden in Tanzania. Fruits produced by the trees provide food for the farmers' families and the surplus generates a sustainable income.
Trees capture CO2 and return it to the soil—reversing the effects of global warming and protecting our environment. The nutrients trees bring to the soil support more diverse food crops, contributing to food security. Healthy soil absorbs more water, protecting land from floods and drought.
