The food business
The food business has been making considerable contributions to the social innovation world through the development of a sound social entrepreneurship eco-system. (Aziz, 2018). Hotmeal Dash will offer food that has been prepared in an environmentally friendly manner using sustainable and ethical sources, clean energy sources, and low carbon footprints. Consistent with the social justice principles, the business model has been designed to help in using the power of food to the unemployed locals through training and job opportunities, particularly at a time when other businesses are conducting massive layoffs. Also, the company will reclaim healthy, local food that could have been discarded to add value. Hotmeal Dash will empower, nourish, and engage the community by offering healthy meals to the homeless. Besides, the owners will partner with local agencies to support the feeding programs that aid the health care workers who are at the frontline in curbing the pandemic.
Furthermore, there has been a disruption in the global and domestic supply chain following the lockdown measures. Accordingly, Hotmeal Dash will collaborate with local farmers and fishermen by providing financial support to reinforce and promote agriculture while ensuring a constant supply of fresh organic produce. Here, the goal is to offer financial support to the hard-working farmers and fishermen who strive to provide a sound local food economy. The generous contribution will help in maintaining and expanding vital programs, and ensure the production of organic and high-quality agricultural produce thrives for years to come. In summation, the new healthy food restaurant will charge affordable prices for nutritious food to shape the community’s behavioral patterns such that the locals can save money and stay healthy during and after the public health crisis.
