DINE FOR GOOD
Taking part in Dine for Good is a fantastic way to show your commitment to sustainable food production. We work with sector media titles such as Restaurant Magazine, Big Hospitality and The Staff Canteen to promote participating restaurants. It couldn’t be easier for restaurants to get involved.
How can we promote Dine for Good to our customers?
We’ll provide you with small table cards which will be placed on each table or into guests’ bill folders throughout the duration of the campaign. The card will contain information about Farm Africa’s work and will explain to guests that a discretionary donation will be added to their bill. The donation is voluntary and customers can always opt out.
Doesn't this mean that diners won't leave a tip?
Restaurants that we have worked with have found that this has no effect on the level of tipping and that customers are happy to help farmers grow a brighter future.
Does this mean a lot of extra paperwork?
The process couldn’t be simpler. We recommend you allocate a button on your electronic till to ‘Farm Africa’. As staff process guests’ bills, the donation will appear on the printed copy. You’ll be able to keep a record of how much has been taken under ‘Farm Africa’ and can then transfer the total amount when the initiative ends.
Will we have to pay to take part?
By providing you with all of the materials, there will be no associated cost to the restaurant and all proceeds will directly benefit Farm Africa. As the £1 donation per cover is added to the bill after the service charge and VAT, it will not affect the restaurant’s VAT returns.
Go on then, sign me up!
