I have ideas; thoughts that I cannot bring to fruition on my own, so I am going to just start putting them out there with the hopes that someone with the resources will come across them and make them reality. My 1st, co-op/membership eatery. Some people cant cook, some dont have time. The result is a lot of unhealthy fast food eating. I loathe fast food, but sometimes I just have to put something in my stomach :( I love home cooked meals, but dont have the time to put in hours in the kitchen. I wish I could go somewhere and get a home cooked meal without starving my wallet. I know people do this in communities; families that take turns cooking mass meals and sharing with other families, but they are isolated and you never whats going on in someone elses kitchen. I would like it to be one designated place (kitchen/dining) that people can come to and eat rather than have someone make the meals at their home where sanitation regulation cannot be controlled. I came up with this idea when someone had told me a story about a student attending college on a scholarship and as part of it they were allotted 1 free meal per day at the college eatery. So I thought, that would be great if I could just pay X dollar amount per month and get to eat somewhere every day. Its like any restaurant, but you can only eat there if you have a membership. Your membership consists of time and money (or just money if you have it like that I suppose). You pay membership dues and put in X amount of time working there and in return you get a membership card that allows you X amount of meals. Its all done by membership card, you swipe your card when you go into eat and it uses up one of your allotted meals. Example. (just an example, the numbers havent been crunched) $50/week and 10 hrs of work service at the restaurant would allow 3 meals a day for the week for 1 person. There wouldnt be a menu like Chilis or Applebees, choices would be limited to 2 or 3 different thing per meal as this is not a for profit business. Breakfast choices could be eggs, sausage/bacon and biscuit w/ OJ or bagel w/cream cheese and fruit cup w/ OJ Lunch could be soup/salad bar or sandwich/wrap with fries Dinner could be chili or chicken, rice, veggies or fish n chips The choices would change daily to avoid food burn out. There should be multiple cooks/chefs for variety of cooking styles as well. The cost of brick and mortar is the biggest issue but there are always old out of business restaurants that could be used. Anyway, thats my idea. Share it. Maybe one day there will be one in your city and we can all eat healthy home cooked food instead of McCrap.
