how to get a cafe to join?

how to get your cafe to join responsible cafes?

As a conscious consumer it is up to you where you buy your morning brew. So why not use the power of your dollar to create positive change and approach your cafe to join Responsible Cafes – if they are not already!

We have created a simple guide to help you approach your local cafe (click on the image to download), but here are some handy tips to get you thinking:

Find a quiet time to talk to the cafe owner or barista – maybe not during the morning coffee rush!
You can print off our guides here to help with some useful facts about the program. A good one to mention is there are already 5000 cafes across Australia who are already on board!
Try and approach the subject with a positive upbeat manner – no one likes a naggy Nora!

We are always looking for ways to improve our relationships with cafes, to help them reduce their single use plastic, so please contact us if you have any feedback from your experience.

HOW DOES YOUR CAFE JOIN?

It is super simple to get your cafe to join – and it is FREE! All they need to do it visit “Register your Cafe’ in the menu, set up a free account, fill in all the information about their cafe and voila! They are on the map, ready for Keen Beans such as yourselves to search for and share the responsible love.

We have created a handy little guide for you to share with cafes if you want to tell them how and why to join. Click on the image to download.

IS YOUR CAFE ALREADY RESPONSIBLE?

We are always contacted by cafes and consumers keen to find out what more they can do to fight the war on waste. In response we have created a handy guide, looking beyond throw away cups, aimed at giving more information about other ways cafes can reduce waste from composting to ditching straws and takeaway containers.

So, if you know a cafe that you think would be interested in taking more action to reduce waste then feel free to download, print off and hand out this great guide!

In recent years, many of us keen beans have become more mindful about the foods we eat and the impact that they have on the planet 🌏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Using free-range animal products at your cafe can be a good way to cater to your customers who aren't plant-based, but still want to make more sustainable food choices. (PLUS, it's another great way to earn some bean 🌟's on our portal!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We always encourage cafes to do their research before choosing free-range suppliers, and to buy local as often as possible to support your neighbours and reduce emissions 👍 .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #plasticfree #reusable #freerange #environment #australia #covid19 #noexcuseforsingleuse #responsiblecafes #waronwaste #contactlesspour #coffee #contactlesscoffee #buylocal #byoCup #noexcuseforsingleuse

This week, it's all about sustainable menu options 🥑🥗🥚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Did you know that around 13% of Australia's population is now eating a vegetarian or vegan diet, with many more making efforts to reduce their meat consumption? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This percentage is only set to increase in the coming years as people make the switch for environmental, ethical and/or health benefit reasons. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's a great idea for Responsible Cafes to offer plant-based meals and multiple kinds of dairy-free milks to make sure their existing and new customers will be able to choose something delicious from your menu 👍🏾 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Keep an eye on our page this week to learn more about sustainable food tips for your cafe! . . . #plasticfree #reusable #freerange #environment #australia #covid19 #noexcuseforsingleuse #responsiblecafes #waronwaste #contactlesspour #coffee #contactlesscoffee #vegan #byoCup #noexcuseforsingleuse

Not all biodegradable cups are created equal ❌ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Compostable" cups and containers may sound eco-friendly, but industrial-grade compostable containers do not decompose in traditional backyard composts. They have to be sent to industrial composting sites where high temperatures and specific conditions are used to break the materials down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some municipalities in Aus offer kerbside compost collection to take your organics to one of the country's 150 facilities, HOWEVER whether compostable plastics and papers are accepted will depend on your municipalities rules. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When "compostable" cups end up in nature, they don't break down like food scraps would and ultimately contribute to our plastic crisis.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're a keen bean, take 5 minutes to research the composting regulations in your municipality to see what compostables go in the green lid bin, and what goes in the red one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #plasticfree #reusable #keepitclean #environment #australia #compost #noexcuseforsingleuse #responsiblecafes #waronwaste #contactlesspour #coffee #contactlesscoffee #eco #byoCup #noexcuseforsingleuse
