Doggy bags with purpose
As part of its ongoing effort to feed vulnerable Kiwis, not-for-profit Everybody Eats has created the Goodie Box, a cleverly reimagined “doggy bag” for restaurant diners who don’t finish their food. Filled and placed on tables at the end of meals, the boxes will enable diners to make an instant $5 donation with Apple or Google Pay if they choose to, driving the idea that “when you’ve got too much, help those with too little,” says Everybody Eats founder Nick Loosely. Championed by well-known restauranteur, Al Brown, the initiative is kicking off in 37 of New Zealand’s top restaurants including Brown’s restaurants’ Depot and The Fed, with more signing on every week. Each $5 donation will provide a nutritious three-course meal at an Everybody Eats kitchen. everybodyeats.co.nz
